Answer by trappperg
It seems as you have done your homework well. These are all valid concerns and really should be discussed with a qualified physician who can examine you and find out your complete medical history firsthand.
A simple x-ray can tell you if your growth plates have fused. Cost of hGH varies from doctor to doctor and geographical location.
How much you can expect to grow is hard to tell without a complete history and examination.
Good luck. :)

You're right, the information under Wikipedia's Growth Hormone Treatment section is very vague. However, it does tell you that the gene for the growth hormone is inserted into bacteria, which mass produce the protein.
From that, we can surmise what you could potentially do to mass produce growth hormone.
First, of all, you need the gene. That's simple. You get a bunch of pituitary cells and then create some primers that bind upstream and downstream of the actual gene.
These primers should consist of approximately 25 base nucleotides, and should bind before the gene and after the stop codon.
You then use PCR to amplify it up. That technique can be found in any old Molecular Biology textbook, though the Maniatis book (referenced below) is very good and detailed on this.
Now the best thing to do next is to put your gene of choice into a plasmid (a circular piece of DNA) that expresses an antibiotic resistance gene, and right in front of a gene promoter that is always switched on (and obviously, one that forces the bacteria to produce vast quantities of the hormone).
That's very simple. Use a nuclease to cut your plasmid. (It's best to use two nucleases, to cut out a small section of the plasmid DNA out). Use the same nucleases to cut the ends of your extract gene (making sure the nuclease that cuts upstream of your extract DNA is also the same nuclease that cuts at the "upstream" part of your plasmid and vice versa). That means you have to find a nuclease that cuts at the right places, which may require a bit of searching.
Because both have been cut by the same enzyme, they'll have sticky ends that match. They'll anneal naturally and because you used the same enzyme to cut upstream of both plasmid and extract gene, the gene will anneal the right way round instead of backwards. (If it anneals backwards, the gene won't work). Use a DNA ligase to join up the backbone and voila, you've got a plasmid that should express antibiotic resistance and your hormone gene.
Transform it into bacteria, possibly using heat shock. Select for the bacteria that express the antibiotic gene (as it should also express the growth hormone), by putting it on to an agar plate with the antibiotic in and lots of goodies and nutrients for the bacteria.
Only the ones with the plasmid will survive and they'll form little colonies on a plate. Now you've got to check that your plasmid contains the gene. After all, the insertion of your gene into the plasmid could have failed.
That's simple. All you have to do is take a little bit from a colony, break it open and use a pair of primers that bind at the 5' end and the 3' end of the gene, and do a PCR. If the gene is there, you'll get a product. If not, you won't.
Then, you do a Western blot, to make sure the protein is actually being made. You could have skipped the above PCR step, but there was the chance that some rogue growth hormone could have infected your samples. Doing the PCR, shows you that any protein is there because the bacteria is making it from the gene you put into it, and not because it just happened to be on some of your apparatus.
I'll refer you to the sources below, as a Western blot is a long detailed procedure that'll make this answer insanely long.
After you've done that and proved to yourself that the bacteria has your gene and is making your protein, you grow it up in a huge vat full of nutrients. Siphon some off every now and then, and extract the protein.
You need do nothing more, except keep growing the bacteria, making sure it's always there and that the antibiotic selection is always on. If it isn't, the bacteria will eventually reject the plasmid, as it won't be of any use to it.
There you have it. It may not be the exact same protocol as what industry uses, but it will get you similar results.

My answer is that HGH (Human Growth Hormone) which is produced in anterior pituitary gland is more abundant in the early stage of life as seen in the ability to "bounce back " that the young-lings tend to have.
Answer by Jeannette P
Traditionally, meat has been a staple of the American diet. Our ancesters hunted and killed four legged creatures to provide sustanence for their families. Alot of additional foods were not readily available, so meat was a mainstay with veges and potatos on the side. When meat was not available, then they were stuck with whatever was on hand. Additionally, fish were caught, dried and preserved in salt, as well as early forms of pork and beef, to get them thru the winters. Our ancesters didn't know about tofu or plant proteins. As time has passed, eating meat has been a welcomed tradition in most families. The ability to raise beef and pork to become fatter and meatier came by developing hormones to ensure that it would happen. Then came the need to be able to store it without fear of contamination, so, antibiotics were given to cattle and fowl and pork all in the spirit of selling more to hungry Americans everywhere. Why do we eat meat? For some its a spiritual belief that God put four legged and winged creatures on the earth for man to consume. For others, its tradition. For many, its about acquired taste and habit. Statistics are now showing that too much red meat consumption can raise cholesteral and eventually lead to coronary disease. So, now we are seeing leaner cuts and lower fat. We're also being pushed to eat more fish, although with the fear of mercury poisoning, we can't do much of that. People are turning to a combination of vegetarian diets that include fish and less meat. Perhaps, when our conciousness increases more than our need to consume what this planet offers, we will find alternatives that are planet and people friendly!

Answer by Jen S
I have adult onset GHD. I take HGH.
Do you see an endocrinologist for possibly other issues? I ask as when one hormone is off, often others go as well. The endocrine system is a system and it needs all its parts to work.
If you need to go back on HGH for height, you may have to do it soon as your growth plates will close soon if they have not closed already.
It is possible that the lack of breasts may be linked to an estrogen, adrenal or thyroid issue.
Find an endocrinologist to test you comprehensively. Magic Foundation has a great list and is a good resource for support and doctors.

Where do I start? depression, anxiety, cancer, memory loss, chronic fatigue syndrome, alzheimers disease, asthma, obesity, multiple sclerosis, PMS, migraines/headaches, parkinsons disease, birth defects, diabetes, vertigo, nausea, epilepsy, brain tumors...you want more?
Answer by Kevin
its bad in the sense that once you stop using it, all the effects will wear off
so you can get huge and build muscle, but once you stop taking the HGH the muscles will disappear and turn into flab
so basically if you want to keep the effects you will need to take it practically forever

A long time ago at Temple University some mice were shot up with growth hormone just for laughs. Their lifespans were dramatically increased thereby.
Human growth hormone has enjoyed some fame as a supposed life extension strategy since then. The body produces it naturally, but production drops off with age.
I believe athletes like to fool around with it in the course of body building also.
You can also shoot up kids with it before they finish puberty. It will increase the size they eventually grow to.
Some minor side effects include acromelagy and probably about 18 different kinds of horrible cancer.

Answer by Timid Women Rarely Make History
Whole Eggs, fish, milk and legumes are protein rich diet. Some foods reduce the activity of the human growth hormones that make you taller. So these foods must be excluded from your diet. These foods include carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrate rich foods like cereals, bread and rice hinder growth. Europeans consume more of proteins in their diet than carbohydrates and hence they are taller than Asians who eat carbohydrate rich foods.
Meats contain a lot of lipids and saturated fats that impede growth. So don't eat too much meat. If you are eating non vegetarian food stick to lean red meats, fish liver or sea food like Pink salmon with long bones, blue crabs, rainbow trouts and clams that are low in fat content. Avoid pastries, sweets, sodas and crispies which are high in fat content. Alcohol, drugs and smoking can also retard growth.
Calcium is a prerequisite for growth of healthy bones. Hence foods rich in calcium like milk and other dairy products like yogurt and cheese should necessarily form part of your diet. Leafy vegetables are another source of calcium.

First, if your under 18 there's nothing you can do unless you speak to the doctor yourself about your situation and stress the importance of your life and the mistake you made will never happen again. Second, if your over 18 its called patient confidentiality and no health care provider is allowed to discuss your records with anyone other than you.
Answer by Trey
The only way steriods will ever completely be out of baseball is when the league stops the players from taking steriods. If you made millions of dollars for hitting a ball and if steriods won't get your 'fired' from your job, but helped you make more money you would do it to. It is time for Bud Selig to start drug testing on a normal basis, but do not tell the players in advance. Walk in the dressing room and choose 5 random players to test without them knowing, that is how steriods will be gone. If you get caught with steriods then you should be fined and suspended.
Answer by Filqnkishiq
cortisone is a steroid hormone
It is one of the main hormones released by the adrenal gland in response to stress. In chemical structure, it is a corticosteroid closely related to corticosterone. It is used to treat a variety of ailments and can be administered intravenously, orally, intraarticularly, or transcutaneously. Cortisone suppresses the immune system, thus reducing inflammation and attendant pain and swelling at the site of the injury. Risks exist, in particular in the long-term use of cortisone.
Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. Growth hormone is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide that is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Somatotropin (STH) refers to the growth hormone 1 produced naturally in animals, whereas the term somatropin refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology,[1] and is abbreviated "HGH" in humans.
Growth hormone is used as a prescription drug in medicine to treat children's growth disorders and adult growth hormone deficiency. In the United States, it is only available legally from pharmacies, by prescription from a doctor. In recent years in the United States, some doctors have started to prescribe growth hormone in GH-deficient older patients (but not on healthy people) to increase vitality. While legal, the efficacy and safety of this use for HGH has not been tested in a clinical trial. At this time, HGH is still considered a very complex hormone, and many of its functions are still unknown.[2]
In its role as an anabolic agent, HGH has been abused by competitors in sports since the 1970s, and it has been banned by the IOC and NCAA. Traditional urine analysis could not detect doping with HGH, so the ban was unenforceable until the early 2000s when blood tests that could distinguish between natural and artificial HGH were starting to be developed. Blood tests conducted by WADA at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece targeted primarily HGH.[2] This use for the drug is not approved by the FDA; GH is legally available only by prescription in the United States.
GH has been studied for use in raising livestock more efficiently in industrial agriculture and several efforts have been made to obtain governmental approval to use GH in livestock production. These uses have been controversial. In the United States, the only FDA-approved use of GH for livestock is the use of a cow-specific form of GH called bovine somatotropin for increasing milk production in dairy cows. Now retailers are permitted to label containers of milk as produced with or without bovine somatotropin.
