Research Article: Weight loss-independent changes in human growth hormone during water-only fasting: a secondary evaluation of a randomized controlled trial
Abstract:
Introduction: Water-only fasting for one day or more may provide health benefits independent of weight loss. Human growth hormone (HGH) may play a key role in multiple fasting-triggered mechanisms. Whether HGH changes during fasting are independent of weight loss and how basal HGH and HGH change relate to other fasting-induced changes are unknown.
