Supports GH as key anabolic factor during fasting; leaves open clinical translation to stress states.
Growth hormone plays a crucial role in metabolic regulation, acting as a primary anabolic hormone during stress and fasting while inducing insulin resistance.
Møller et al. (2009) reported a review. Growth Hormone was evaluated. Growth hormone deficiency during fasting increases protein loss and urea production rates by approximately 50%, highlighting its role as a primary anabolic hormone during stress and fasting.
