IN addition to promoting linear growth in prepubertal children, growth hormone is often described as having anabolic, lipolytic, and diabetogenic properties. These descriptions are based on the results of diverse short-term studies of humans, animals, and isolated tissues, many of which involved the use of large doses of growth hormone. Until the production of growth hormone by recombinant-DNA methods began, the small supply of pituitary-derived human growth hormone limited its use to the treatment of children with growth hormone deficiency. The wide availability of synthetic human growth hormone has made possible long-term studies of other potentially beneficial uses of growth . . .
