Chapter 28, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The role of human growth hormone in fast recovery after difficult workouts, and is the growth hormone use the same as anabolic steroid use.
Concept introduction:
Human growth hormone is a peptide hormone that stimulates the growth, cells reproduction and regeneration in human and animals. Human growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, and it is a way of regulating body growth, fat,
