HGH may be infamous for its illegal use and doping scandals with athletes, but one just cannot ignore the emerging benefits of this wonder drug. A recent study has found that it can help treat troublesome complications from the AIDS virus, but with potentially risky side effects.
HIV patients often develop fat deposits and high levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and blood sugar due to HIV drugs and faulty immune system. These put them at risk for heart problems. Low-dose injections of human growth hormone reduced fat deposits around internal abdominal organs by about 10 percent. The hormone shots lowered blood pressure and levels of blood fats called triglycerides. But they also resulted in elevated blood sugar levels. However, the only approved use of HGH is for muscle wasting in AIDS patients and conditions that impair growth.
The study results show that human growth hormone could be useful for HIV patients with abdominal fat accumulations and normal blood sugar levels, although it’s “not a panacea,” said study co-author Dr. Steven Grinspoon of Massachusetts General Hospital.
The study appears in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association and was among reports prepared for presentation Sunday at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City.
The study involved 55 patients with the AIDS virus who also had low levels of naturally occurring human growth hormone, a condition that is relatively common among HIV patients with abnormal fat deposits. Half gave themselves daily hormone shots, the other got dummy medicine for 18 months.
In earlier research, Grinspoon and colleagues used high doses to successfully treat abnormal HIV-related fat problems but the risks including tissue swelling outweighed the benefits.
