HGH and Cholesterol

Here are 4 insights into why we should pay attention to how HGH regulates cholesterol.

According to the American Heart Association men and women with elevated triglyceride levels have twice therisk of heart disease than those with lower levels.

Coronary risk is correlated with the ratio of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (unhealthy) cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (healthy) and with serum triglyceride. [1]

Insight #1

Af ter putting the cholesterol scare into everyone, there was a realization in the medical community: the amountof cholesterol you consume has minimal bearing upon the amount of cholesterol in your blood. [2]

Insight #2

Most of the cholesterol in the body is produced by the body itself , and an internal f eedback loop exists suchthat the less cholesterol one eats, the more one makes, and visa versa. [3]

The question is:

What regulates the production of cholesterol [4] and, more importantly, what regulates the ratio of HDL to LDLcholesterol and the production of triglyceride? [5]

Insight #3

The answer is hormones – more specif ically – HGH – which assist in the regulation of cholesterol production.[6]

Insight #4

Researchers have f ound that in normal adults the higher levels of HGH they had the higher levels of HDL,healthy cholesterol they had. [7]

Studies point to the f act that HGH specif ically increases healthy HDL cholesterol and lowers the moredangerous LDL cholesterol ult imately dropping the risk of clogged arteries.

Study Results

In a study on heart disease by Dr. Bengtsson f rom the University of Gothenburg showed that of 300 patientswith HGH def iciency all had normal cholesterol levels. However, when he split the cholesterol levels betweenLDL and HDL the levels revealed a very dif f erent story. [8]

These HGH def icient patients had very high levels of harmful LDL cholesterol and very low levels of thegood HDL cholesterol.

Dr. Bengtsson concluded this helps explain the double increase in cardiovascular problems experienced by thisgroup of patients.

HGH – the Solution

However, af ter only 6 months of HGH therapy these patients LDL cholesterol levels was decreased and theirHDL cholesterol levels increased.
