GH + food = good
This study shows that even with suboptimal caloric intake, nitrogen balance is still favorable while using GH....it has a muscle sparing effect.....with better nutrition, the effects are magnified

Metabolic effects of recombinant human growth hormone in patients receiving parenteral nutrition.
Ziegler TR, Young LS, Manson JM, Wilmore DW.
Department of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Recombinant human methionyl growth hormone (Protropin) (Genetech, Inc., San Francisco, CA) administered to normal volunteers receiving hypocaloric parenteral nutrition minimized weight loss and induced positive nitrogen balance. To evaluate whether growth hormone (GH) can promote anabolism in surgical patients, 11 stable malnourished individuals were studied. In the initial trial, subjects received a constant parenteral infusion of a hypocaloric diet that provided approximately 1100 kcal/24 hr and 1.3 g protein/kg/24 hr for at least 2 weeks. During 1 week, GH 10 mg was given subcutaneously daily, whereas the other week served as the control. Daily balance studies demonstrated that administration of GH resulted in significant retention of nitrogen (+3.4 g/24 h) and phosphorus (+218 mg/24 h), despite provision of only 60% of caloric requirements. With GH, serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and potassium fell, whereas glucose and insulin tended to rise, and levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 increased three to fourfold. Weight gain occurred with GH and was associated with positive mineral and water balance. Six patients received GH (10 mg subcutaneously daily) for 13-25 consecutive days after an initial control week. Significant nitrogen and phosphorus retention occurred over the entire period of GH administration, and no significant side effects were observed. In these depleted patients, GH caused significant and sustained nitrogen retention over a wide range of nutritional support. GH appears to enhance the efficacy of parenteral nutrition in stable individuals requiring repletion of body protein.

re high doses
Are there any actual studies based on the low doses often used (2 - 4 iu ed) that show clinical benefits? The doses on most of the studies are astronomical and even the reccomened usage on the mfg websites is high. I do understand these are for children producing none generally but still...............

Now thats some amazing ****!!!!! How do they quantify an 81% increase in muscle size? Isnt that virtually double? What was the average age of the participants? I would love to read more on that study. Einstein you are just a veritable wealth of information and I for one appreciate your taking the time to share it.

Um, are you sure it wasnt 81% REPORTED increase in muscle size? I mean, how did they measure a "67% improvement in emotional stability" and "a 78% improvement in attitude toward life"? I can find the info on sites selling HGH precursors and stuff (one of which says it involved 200 men over 60), but not the actual study.

I put next to no faith in subjective tests like that...emotional stability or attitude towards life That's immeasurable IMO. it's like saying "how much do you love someone"....everyone's answer is relative to their own scale....it means nothing and is completely subjective. measuring cross-sectional area od muscle is pretty concrete.

great info. I am using 2 IU's a day and get swollen hands and feet if going above that. Is anyone using more than 2 IU's successfully and did you work up gradually? Also are there any benefits that going above 2 IU's will bring?

Bumping this one up again. I would love to know the age range of the group. It would also be nice to see the percentages on the side effects experienced. Any info on those Einstein?
