The Role of Anabolic Hormones for Wound Healing in Catabolic States

This comprehensive review examines the interplay between anabolic hormones, nutrition, and wound healing, particularly in catabolic states such as trauma, burns, and chronic illness. It highlights how deficiencies in key anabolic hormones—human growth hormone (HGH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), insulin, and testosterone—impair protein synthesis and lean body mass maintenance, leading

Anabolic processes in human skeletal muscle: restoring the identities of growth hormone and testosterone

This review challenges the conventional view that exercise-induced increases in growth hormone (GH) and testosterone are critical for muscle hypertrophy, highlighting that while GH plays a role in collagen synthesis and lipolysis, it doesn’t significantly impact muscle protein synthesis. The article stresses that intrinsic muscle mechanisms are more important for
