Best answer:

Answer by Mad_Theorist
If administered at the correct dosage they shouldn't be too bad, although like any drug it's sending your body chemistry in directions it's not used to. Large doses of them could cause problems and I suspect there's a chance your body could counteract them by simply shutting down it's own hormone production, but not sure about that.

'Systems' is quite a broad term. It probably is refering to the Integumentary system, Skeletal, Nervous, Muscular, Digestive, Circulatory, Respiratory, Reproductive, etc etc. If you look up those words you can find out what they mean, but it's pretty easy: for example, integumentary is like skin, so it's function is to be a protective barrier; Circulatory is to transport materials (like oxygen and wastes) through the body.

Probably not much help for you there. HGH helps if you have a growth hormone deficiency, but only if you take it early enough. You might benefit slightly, but you'll need to be assessed right away for your bone age and your own growth hormone levels. It's expensive and at this point might only give you an extra inch. Sorry, but I've looked into this scenario before.

Trust me, Growth hormones are the WORST thing you can do to your body.

I'm 5"10 and wanted to grow to be about 6"1, so I took HGH (Human Growth Hormones) last year, and it resulted in my Hormones level to be imbalanced. That caused me to produce a very foul body odor, and caused excessive sweating, temper tantrums, mood swings, etc.

I speak from experience, its not worth it. FYI I only grew like an inch.

What are some healthy ways to add a few inches to your height?

Question by -Hindu Times-: What are some healthy ways to add a few inches to your height?
Other than stretching, without growth hormones etc...

I don't believe in genetics aka (short parents you be short too! bahahaa) As I've seen short parents with taller son's daughter's.

Read this, most people who believe that height can only be traced from genetics are true but not from mother and father only as each dna have traces of ancestors dating back from great great great grandparents and you can trigger that to result your height!

Anyway, are there other ways for a healthy height training?


Best answer:

Answer by John Craig
Sprinting

Put on your running shoes and hit the running track! Start sprinting down the straight like a champion. Your body will use up a lot of energy very fast. Your system will compensate by secreting more human growth hormone. This will make your legs grow longer. And with elongated legs, you'll naturally be a taller person!

Swimming

Don't like to run? Then try swimming instead. Make sure you complete a minimum of ten laps when you're in the water. Tire yourself out. Your body will start pumping adrenalin which also relieves the stress that prevents you from growing. The more swimming sessions you undergo, the more your backbone will stretch. This will create spaces between the bones which then have to grow naturally.

Concerning Human Growth Hormone and Height?

Question by Enigma: Concerning Human Growth Hormone and Height?
I will turn 16 on the 8th of September, 2007
I am 5' 6 tall and weigh about 145 lbs

Height has always been a sensitive issue in my eyes and I can understand its importance because of how it is perceived by society.

Suffice it to say that I don't want to stay 5' 6 for one reason or another.

I have looked into other methods for height increase and found that most, if not all are ineffective, with the exception of the "limb lengthening procedure" and "human growth hormone," respectively.

Just judging from a cursory glance, the first of these two would not be feasible.

That leaves Human Growth Hormone. Human Growth Hormone
is available in oral sprays, pills, and injections.

Essentially, only the injections work.

I have about $ 10,000 to spare offhand.

I have been reading prudently and found that HGH by injection, the cost that is, ranges from "$ 10,000 - $ 18,000

I don't quite understand the discrepancy. Nonetheless, I am willing to bear any discomfort or inconvenience if that is the issue at hand.

It is required that the epiphyseal plates be open for HGH to work properly, in increasing height gains in adolescents

In a nutshell I have three potential problems.

a)Do I have enough money to pay for the treatment ($ 10,000 no more, no less)?
b)Have my growth plates closed?

c)Supposing that cost and eligibility don’t pose an issue and I reach the treatment stage, about how much could I be expected to grow and what might be my final height?

Thanks for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
Did I leave the impression that I was female...?

I'm not.

What hormones in humans affect the cardiovascular system? For example increases or decreases heart rate?

Apart form adrenaline, what other hormones in humans affect the cardiovascular system?
I want to study the relationship between addressing one's fears and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system, but I want to make the increased heart rate was due to adrenaline. Thanks!


Best answer:

Answer by TOWFEEQ UMAR
Neural and Hormonal Affects
There are two different factors involved in heart rate management: intrinsic and extrinsic controls. Intrinsic regulation of heart rate is the result of the unique nature of cardiac tissue - it is self-regulating and maintains it's own rhythm without direction. Extrinsic controls are those that come from both hormonal responses as well as the commands from the nervous system: the central nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. Extrinsic regulation can cause the heart rate to change rapidly because of chemicals that circular in the blood or by directaction of nerves that go to the heart.
A good example of this is to measure heart rate changes when certain words or emotions are said or felt without a muscle contracting. Say the words, "we are going tohave a surprise test today" and watch heart rate extrinsically increase. Put on a heart rate monitor and sitting completely still watch a movie and watch heart rate jump during a car chase or action thriller. There is no cardiovascular or cardio respiratory change as a result of this change in heart rate; it's simply the affect on the heart ofchemicals and nerves responding to an external experience.
The cardiovascular control center for the body is located inthe ventro-lateral medulla. Here heart rate slows if activated by the cardio inhibitory center in the medulla or speeds up if activated by the cardio accelerator.
From this site, the two channelsof the autonomic nervous system originate the sympathetic and parasympathetic components. The sympathetic components increase heart rate by releasing the neural hormone catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones are cardio accelerators. Acceleration of theheart rate is called tachycardia.
The parasympathetic nervous system located in the brain stem and upper or sacral portion of the spinal cord slowsheart rate. The parasympatheticcomponents decrease heart rate. These neurons release the neurohormone acetylcholine, which inhibits heart rate. The slowing of heart rate is called bradycardia.
The combination of the neural and chemical components regulates heart rate and other heart functions. When you begin to exercise in heart zones1-3, heart rate increases because parasympathetic (cardioinhibitory) stimulation stops. During more strenuous exercise, heart zones 3-5, the heart rate increase occurs by direct activation of the sympathetic cardioaccelerator nerves.
Exercise excites the relationshipbetween the sympathetic accelerators and the parasympathetic depressor neurons. This change in the balance in their activity called tonic activity leads to more involvement of the vagus nerves. The vagus nerves carry about 80% of the parasympathetic fibers, those responsible for slowing heart rate. With increased vagal dominance, heart rate values change and slow. One of the training effects is the slowing of resting and ambient heart rates. This is the result of the effect of fitness on the tonic activity and the favoring of greater activity by the vagus nerves to slow heart rate. Theseadaptations following zone 1-3 or aerobic training occur to those who are sedentary and begin and exercise program as well as those who maintain one. This is one of the benefits of training, a significant resting bradycardia.
The central nervous system plays the greatest role in controlover heart rate during exercise. When you start a movement pattern, the central nervous system sends impulses through the cardiovascular center in the medulla. There is a coordinated and quick response of both the heart and the blood vessels to change blood pressure, tissue perfusion to respond to the requirements.
A good example of the central command involvement is with anticipatory heart rate. Before an event begins, if the individual anticipates with excitement and enthusiasm the event, heart rate increases dramatically without any muscular involvement. Anticipatory heart rate or your heart rate immediately before exercising in one experiment averaged 148 bpm when the announcer started giving starting commands to a group of sprinters. In this experiment, heart rates increased 140% in anticipation of the starting of this 60-yard dash. In fact, the body that the body increases heart rate in anticipation is good because it provides for the rapid mobilization of it's bodily reserves by revving the body's engine. Research shows that the longer the event, the lower the anticipatory heart rate changes.
