What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
Researchers studied Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) in the context of sexual function & libido (women and men) in this randomized controlled trial publication.
ANOVA with repeated measures was used to evaluate interventional effects.
Why It Was Studied
The researchers examined the effects of GH and/or testosterone (T) administration on body composition, performance, mood, sexual function, bone turnover, and muscle-gene expression in healthy older men.
Who Took Part
By PubMed's age tags, the people studied were middle-aged adults and older adults, men only.
How the Study Was Run
The researchers set it up as a randomized and double-blind study.
Because people in this Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.
As a double-blind Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) study, the assignments were hidden from both participants and investigators until the end.
What Was Measured
The researchers examined the effects of GH and/or testosterone (T) administration on body composition, performance, mood, sexual function, bone turnover, and muscle-gene expression in healthy older men.
The subject headings attached to it are Affect, Body Composition, Bone Remodeling, Estradiol, Gene Expression, Human Growth Hormone and Insulin-Like Growth Factor I.
What This Means in Plain Language
The paper is a randomized and double-blind study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) in people with sexual function & libido (women and men).
The publication is from 2002 (The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism), a journal based in United States.

Our Notes on the Compound
Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over): Constant levels suppress the body's own GHRH, raise somatostatin and dull pituitary response.
