Age Reversal Study from Aging Cell

[OldGHGuy]

Interesting study from Aging Cell that used rhGH, DHEA and Metformin to reverse biological aging. Not new (2019) but new to me.

Many interesting data points, including this one:

A primary concern in this study was whether increased levels of a mitogen (IGF‐1) might exacerbate cancerous or precancerous foci in the prostate. Both of these changes should be detectable by measuring PSA or percent free PSA levels. However, PSA, percent free PSA, and the ratio of PSA to percent free PSA, an overall index of prostate cancer risk, improved significantly by day 15 of treatment and remained favorably altered to the end of 12 months

Reversal of epigenetic aging and immunosenescent trends in humans - PMC

Epigenetic “clocks” can now surpass chronological age in accuracy for estimating biological age. Here, we use four such age estimators to show that epigenetic aging can be reversed in humans. Using a protocol intended to regenerate the thymus, we ...

I will have a look later.
Want to know how much gh they were actually given during this trial and how long they were monitored for.
Thank you.

Thank you.

I had to scan it and find that out as well. Looks like 4-5 iu administered 3-4 times a week. Maybe check my math.

While I have ordered some GH to try for sleep at around 2iu a night here is another old article that states elevated IGF-1(and really low levels) increases chances of all cause morbidity.

IGF-1 and Risk of Morbidity and Mortality From Cancer, Cardiovascular Diseases, and All Causes in EPIC-Heidelberg - PubMed

This large population-based prospective study showed that both individuals with lowest and highest levels of circulating IGF-1 were at increased risk of deaths from cancer, CVD, and all causes. For individuals with low IGF-1, the excess risks of death were more pronounced among individuals with...

Thanks.
I was reading this, because someone's acquaintance is having her IGF-1 monitored, amongst other things.
It's to do with her thyroid. Scary stuff.

It sucks that long term high levels of hgh could accelerate aging processes. None of what we have right now is any good for aging reversal, got to wait for the upcoming stuff.

Be careful what you wish for. Reversing your gainz? Reversing all the things you learned?

We can write detailed instructions to follow beforehand and get the best of both. The question is whether those instructions would be followed
