(TBW), in experimental (group I) and control (group II) groups
The scientists investigated the effect of growth hormone (HGH) supplementation plus resistance training on anaerobic and aerobic power, body composition,and lipoprotein profile in middle aged me. As it is obvious from the results summarized in table 1, the additionally hGH the researchers injected to the subjects from the experimental group (group I) at dosages beginning with 0,2 IU daily for the first month and 0,4
and 0,6 IU in successive month had profound positive effects on body composition. Specifically, it decreased fat and increased muscle mass of the participants; an effect which was not achieved by exercise alone.
