Human Growth Hormone, also called somatropin, is produced in the anterior of the pituitary gland inside the brain.
Human growth hormone diseases are diseases that concern the deficiency in HGH or the excess in HGH. These diseases, especially the HGH deficiency, are very common in children. Due to the proliferation of these diseases, different pharmaceutical companies have manufactured their own products in able to cure or prevent these diseases.
The first treatment on a HGH disease was done on a 17 year old boy with HGH deficiency. The method of treatment used was the cadaver-GH which involved purifying growth hormone from a dead body. The treatment was successful although it had the Creutzfeldt – Jakob disease as a side effect. Since then, researchers have looked for alternative methods to battle the HGH disease.
Many companies came up with their own brand of HGH products. One of these companies is Genentech. Genentech developed and named their product Nutropin. Nutropin was an injectable and was produced using the recombinant DNA technology (rDNA). It has the same sequence of amino acid that is secreted in the body. Nutropin is available by prescription only and are for children and teenagers who have growth failure. Nutropin is used in treating patients, who do not make enough HGH in their body, whose bones are still capable of growing tall according to their ideal height and who has Turner syndrome.
Nutropin is not recommended for people who have tumors, people who have finished growing, people who have eye disease and diabetes and Prader Willi syndrome. Taking nutropin has possible side effects like discomfort on the injection site, scoliosis, joint pain, headache and allergic reaction
Another product that was developed for HGH disease is the Humatrope. Humatrope is also an rDNA product. Humatrope is produced by the Eli Lilly Company who introduced the product at the same time of the introduction of Nutropin. Humatrope like Nutropin have certain safety precautions. Humatrope should not be used in patients with tumor, patients who are severely obese, who have respiratory sicknesses and patients who have diabetes.
Genotropin is another product for HGH diseases. Genotropin claims that it is the only man made rDNA product. It is ideally for children with HGH deficiency, children with the Prader-Willi syndrome, girls with Turner syndrome and children who have idiopathic stature. Like other products, Genotropin is also injected in the patient.
Another product that is available in the market is Tev-tropin. Tev-tropin is designed for children who have growth hormone deficiency. Tev-Tropin is produced in a lab and made up of amino acids that functions as the missing growth hormone in the patient’s body.
With all the available products in the market to treat Human growth hormone diseases, there is a big possibility that HGH diseases can be cured. HGH products present a whole new world for individuals who have the disease. However, individuals respond to HGH products differently. The response of an individual to a product may depend on;
1.) Growth condition
2.) Age
3.) Growth Hormone level before intake of a product
4.) Genetic factors
5.) Dosage of product
6.) Length of treatment
Although almost all of these human growth hormone products claim that they can cure HGH diseases, consumers should be critical on choosing the right product for their child or for themselves. Deceptive and false advertising are hard to mask off and it is the consumer’s prerogative to be critical in analyzing the claims of these products.
Have you ever wanted to have a great looking body that you can be proud to show off in the beach? First of all, muscle gain is different from weight loss. You have to remember that there are quite a lot of exercises out there that are designed to target different parts of the body. Some exercises are targeted for fat loss, while there are others that targets muscle gain.
If you want to gain muscles, then here are some exercises that you may want to know about which can help you gain muscle mass in just a short period of time.
For starters, the biceps are the most sought after muscle group that most people want to build up. Besides, you would definitely look great if you had big biceps, wouldn’t you? So, here are some of the exercises that you may want to know about in order for you to gain muscles on your biceps.
The first exercise that you should do is the standing bar curls. With a barbell curl, you will be able to directly target in exercising the biceps. You will be injuring the biceps more, which means that it will allow you to build up your muscles in your biceps.
To do this exercise, you need to stand with your feet at about shoulder width apart. Hold the bar with an underhand grip. The starting position is where you are standing as instructed, and the arms should be straight with the biceps fully extended. Your upper body should be leaning slightly forward and with one explosive motion, curl your arms with the weight concentrating on your biceps.
Then, you have to remember that when you go back to the starting position, you need to extend your biceps slowly. Remember that lowering the weight actually is more effective than the actual curl. Lower the weight slowly and not just drop the weight all the way down.
If the straight bar is putting a lot of stress on your wrists, which for some people does, then you might want to try the EZ bar curls. This will put your wrists in a much comfortable position and will help you lift the weights much easier and in a much comfortable way but will not decrease the overall impact on your biceps.
Standing alternate dumbbell curls are also a great way to build muscles in your biceps. What you do is hold one dumbbell on each hand at your sides with the palms facing each other. Then, curl one dumbbell at a time and at the same time rotate your palm forward as you lift. After you fully contract the biceps, lower the dumbbell with the arm rotating back to its original starting position. Do this with your other arm. That’s basically it. You don’t need any machines or special benches to do these exercises.
For both exercises, you might want to do 10 repetitions with 3 sets.
The key here is to overload your biceps. After exercising your biceps, you have to let it rest for at least two days. You need to remember that when you lift weights, you are actually injuring your muscles in order for it to grow more muscles to support the weight you are constantly lifting. This means muscle gain.
