There is irrefutable scientific evidence that GHD leads to multiple symptoms including an increase in body fat. Low HGH results in weight gain and central obesity, which carry serious health risks.
More specifically, the accumulation of fat occurs around the abdomen and internal organs which increases the risk for other metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
That’s because the adipose tissue around the abdomen is particularly sensitive to the catabolic effects of growth hormone. Without adequate growth hormone levels, fat accumulates much easier in the region.
Therefore, the metabolic changes in GHD are characterized by increased waist circumference and body fat percentage. Other metabolic parameters which may be negatively affected by the condition are blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
HGH can help you burn fat by stimulating lipolysis. This is a metabolic pathway through which stored fat breaks down into fatty acids. When the molecules are released, the fat cells shrink.
These fatty acids can be burned when your body needs extra energy or they will return to fat storage if unused.
One of the most notable enzymes (lipases) which facilitate the process of fat breakdown is hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL).
Experiments reveal that growth hormone stimulates HSL which helps your body mobilize fat from the adipose tissues. Normally, HGH has a pulsatile secretion, and fat breakdown begins around 1-2 hours after a peak.
You may experience a significant reduction in the amount of abdominal subcutaneous fat as soon as 6 weeks after starting HGH therapy. The rate of fat loss and the timeline of the other HGH results will depend on the severity of your condition, individual sensitivity, and dosage.
Higher dosage may speed up the effects but also increase the risk for adverse reactions such as water retention. Thus, it is best to follow your doctor’s advice on how much HGH to take for weight loss and symptom relief.
Growth hormone help with fat loss by breaking down and mobilizing fatty acids. However, the molecules are not necessarily oxidized, unless your body needs the extra energy. Thus, adding exercise to your daily routine and eating fewer calories will significantly speed up fat loss.
Prevention is better than cure.
While testosterone levels drop naturally as men age, there are other reasons why your body could produce less testosterone.
Some of these are unavoidable such as taking medications for other diseases. But there are also lifestyle changes you could make to make sure your body is always producing the right amount.
Easing up on alcohol consumption is one of the ways you could prevent low testosterone. Regular exercise is another. Wearing a cup to avoid trauma to the testes will also prevent it.
If you’re a type 2 diabetic, keeping your condition in control will help your body maintain the right amount of testosterone. If you don’t, your testosterone might plummet.
In men, testosterone is made by the testes whenever certain regions of the brain – the hypothalamus and pituitary glands – receive signals from your body that more testosterone is needed. These glands then send a chemical message to your testes – which respond by ramping up production of testosterone.
However, obesity can throw a wrench in this whole process – and the wrench, in this case, is estrogen. In short, there is evidence that estrogen can lower testosterone production by triggering signals to your hypothalamus and pituitary glands that tell your brain you don’t need anymore testosterone.
Suppose you are overweight or obese and have low T levels – as determined by the testosterone test, for instance. What can you do to raise your T levels?
One solution: strive to lose some weight.
Weight loss, it turns out, boosts your testosterone levels. In fact, if you’re overweight (or obese) and have low T levels, taking off some of those pounds is one of the best things you can do to get higher T levels. This makes sense, of course, given the direct effects obesity has on testosterone.
Sermorelin and Ipamorelin act as amplifiers of the naturally occurring human growth hormone — increasing the concentration of growth hormone in your bloodstream so that you experience greater gains in muscle, size, and strength. With peptide therapy, combined with a healthy diet and exercise regimen, your goal weight is much closer than you once may have thought!
With all of this said, peptides have become increasingly popular in improving your energy levels, muscle mass gains, strengthening connective tissue and bone density.
