Cohort StudyHuman2026
The claim says hormone treatments can only change how much hormone is in your blood. But this study found that a growth hormone treatment also improved blood sugar, weight, blood pressure, and liver enzymes, showing it does more than just change hormone levels.
Cohort StudyHuman2023
The claim says hormone treatment only changes how much hormone is in your blood. But this study found that switching to a weekly growth hormone treatment improved blood sugar, insulin resistance, and liver tests without changing hormone levels, so the treatment did more than just change hormone amount.
Quality-weighted scoring: we follow the GRADE framework — each study is rated High, Moderate, Low, or Very Low based on study design, methodology rigor, and risk of bias. A single high-quality RCT can outweigh several weaker observational studies.
Scores reflect study quality, not just count.
