Abstract

The use of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is a common habit among athletes. While the effects of rhGH administration have been described with contrasting results in males, no data exist in females to date. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of rhGH administration on TSH, FT4 and FT3 levels and the time requested to return to baseline values after treatment withdrawal.
