The effects of tesamorelin on phosphocreatine recovery in obese subjects with reduced GH.

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

2014 Jan

This study found that when obese people with low growth hormone got a treatment that raised their IGF-I levels, their muscles recovered energy faster after exercise — and this link stayed strong even after accounting for things like age, weight, and insulin levels.

97%

When IGF-I levels go up in obese people with low growth hormone, their muscle's ability to recover energy after exercise also improves, and this connection is statistically significant.

When IGF-I levels go up in obese people with low growth hormone, their muscles recover energy faster after exercise, and this connection is statistically significant.

96%

When only looking at the best-quality muscle energy recovery data, higher IGF-I still links to better recovery in obese people with low growth hormone.

93%

Changes in IGF-I levels don't relate to how much phosphocreatine is used up during exercise or muscle strength in obese people with low growth hormone.
