INTRODUCTION
It is often said that the wisdom that comes with age is nice, the
wrinkles, ailing joints, and
General frailty are not. That‘s why it is no surprise that ‗anti-
ageing‘ is such a hot
topic. Luckily, the key to anti-aging is within your reach.
When it comes to relaying
messages, inducing reactions and protecting tissue – it‘s all
about your hormones.
Hormones are chemical messengers that are keeping the body
functioning.
From regulating metabolism and growth to controlling
immune function and reproduction, hormones are major players in
all that you do and all that you are –
physically at least.
Most people associate human growth hormone and DHEA
with ageing, but progesterone, testosterone, estrogens play a role in
aging as well. If the delicate balance of any one of these hormones
is destroyed, it can constitute a heavy toll on your body, mind, and
spirit – and be mistaken as classic signs of ageing.

This ebook assesses the present status of hormonal therapy in
an anti-ageing cure. In spite of the fact that various trials have been
conducted, some of which are still ongoing, the multitude of
questions related to the best possible use of these hormonal agents
have still not been answered. Treatment guidelines concerning
these issues are continuing to evolve as progress continues to be
made in this field.

Breakthrough Anti-Ageing Cure

1. Human Growth Hormone
______________________________________________________
The rate of GH secretion from the anterior pituitary is highest
around puberty and declines progressively thereafter. This age-
related decline in GH secretion involves a number of changes in
the GH axis, including decreased serum levels of insulin-like
growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and decreased secretion of growth
hormone-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. The cause of
the normal age-related decrease in GH secretion is not well
understood but is thought to result, in part, from increased
secretion of somatostatin, the GH-inhibiting hormone.
Research evidence shows human growth hormone in ageing
patients who have used this treatment feels younger and healthier
after. Despite the innovative human growth hormone therapy, it
has failed to live up to the present because of some side effects.
Some of the side effects include obesity due to weight gain,
diabetes, and high blood pressure. As the name implies, it
stimulates growth. There have been a number of concerns as to
whether this treatment stimulates cancer development in malignant
tumor patients. Another experiment conducted finds that human
growth hormone treatment in animals accelerates life span in old

mice. For that reason, human growth hormone can make aged
patients to feel healthier and increase their life span.( N. Patnaik)
When humans become aged, they experience a decrease in the
level of growth hormone. This is often as a result of growth
hormones releasing hormone (GHRH) production being reduced in
the hypothalamus. Additionally, the anterior pituitary gland slows
the process of growth hormone synthesis and release. Low level of
growth hormone leads to a reduction in the level of IGF-1 (insulin-
like growth factor 1) that is circulating. Some of the symptoms
associated with aging include; reduced libido, weight gain or loss,
high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases decline in the mass
of muscles, lowered life expectancy, an increase of adiposity and
reduction of energy (Corpas et al, 1993).This symptoms marks
deficiency of growth hormone in the elderly. Furthermore, as a
result of a decline in the level of growth hormone, the level of sex
steroids in the aged plasma decreases. This is associated with
reduced functioning of gonads.
Due to how the level of growth hormones naturally decreases,
the use of synthetic growth hormones had been embraced so as to
prevent aging-associated issues such as reduced bone mass and
decreased muscles. Use of synthetic growth hormone has been
supported by evidence which suggests that if the elderly take
growth hormone supplements, they can be able to improve their
vitality and youthfulness (Corpas et al., 1993).
