Eighteen considered effect treatment, fourteen reported administration, seven related to GH/IGF-1 healing. Results. Both significantly increased resorption most studies. hip or tibial fractures resulted healing, rapid improvements. Some conflicting results were evidenced. Conclusions. therapy has significant anabolic effect. for treatment may greatly improve outcome. interacts sex steroids process. resistance process considered.
