Weight loss-independent changes in human growth hormone during water-only fasting: a secondary evaluation of a randomized controlled trial - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39991046/
Fasting increased HGH and the HGH changes were independent of weight loss. Basal HGH and fasting-induced HGH changes correlated inversely with cardiometabolic risk factors.Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT01059760.
