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.
A 24-hour water-only fast increased HGH independently of weight loss. Baseline HGH correlated inversely with cardiometabolic risk factors, and individuals with lower baseline HGH showed greater fasting-induced HGH increases and improved insulin resistance.
