    Daniel Rudman performed an experiment in 1990 revealing the effects of growth hormone in elderly patients. Dr. Rudman hypothesized that administering biosynthetic growth hormone to elderly patients would increase lean body mass, decrease adipose tissue, and thicken the skin. To begin the experiment Dr. Rudman identified a baseline for his twenty-one subjects over six months by noting their IGF-1 levels, insulin like growth hormone factor (an indirect measurement of growth hormone from the liver) and baseline values for body mass, adipose tissue mass, bone density, and skin thickness. After six months of injecting growth hormone Rudman concluded a statistical increase in lean body mass and bone density, and a decrease in adipose tissue. However,…

Another form of treatment is the use of aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction from androgens to estrogens. These inhibitors have proven to lessen the effects of estrogen on bone maturation, as well as delay the fusion of epiphyseal plate, which is a determinant in completion of linear growth (Lee…

Menopause is defined as the “occurring 12 months after a woman’s final menstrual period” (Bjorklund, 2015, p. 54). Women usually go through menopause between 47 and 55 years old and experience a drop in estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause for 3-5 years before menopause occurs (Bjorklund, 2015). The decline in hormones causes primary aging for men and women (Bjorklund, 2015).…

The endocrine system and nervous system work together to coordinate functions of all systems in human body, they are responsible for maintaining the internal environment, nearly all physiological processes are affected by the hormones. They regulate almost all body function starting from metabolism, grow and development as well as water and electrolyte balance, reproduction and human behaviour. This system uses just one method of communication which are a chemical signals which are hormones, where the nervous system uses two: chemical and the electrical…
