Growth and Growth Hormone through the Ages: Art and Science.

What It Covers

The paper reports a study of Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over), published as a review.

People have long been fascinated with the size and growth of living things, from the giants of classic mythology and art to the little people who also have appeared in classical art, as well as the courts of European monarchs, and were exploited in "shows." Serious medical evaluation began in the late 19th century with the description of acromegaly and its association with pituitary tumors.

In the early 20th century, multiple investigators attempted to extract a growth-promoting factor from the anterior pituitary and then, over the decades, to purify it and distinguish it from other anterior pituitary hormones.
