1 Growth hormone significantly reduced fat mass, increased lean body mass through an increase in extracellular water, and increased body cell mass in men when coadministered with testosterone. Testosterone growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
2 Growth hormone significantly increased sprint capacity, by 0.71 kJ (95% CI, 0.1 to 1.3 kJ; relative increase, 3.9% [CI, 0.0% to 7.7%]) in men and women combined and by 1.7 kJ (CI, 0.5 to 3.0 kJ; relative increase, 8.3% [CI, 3.0% to 13.6%]) when coadministered with testosterone to men; other performance measures did not significantly change. Testosterone growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSION: Growth hormone supplementation influenced body composition and increased sprint capacity when administered alone and in combination with testosterone. Testosterone growth hormone 1 Homo sapiens
