From my understanding HGH for a man has a different makeup from HGH for a women. It is only a matter of time before it is confirmed that it was HGH for a man.
Be curious to see source on this.
I know women and men have different blood levels of the hormone.The gene for naturally occurring growth hormone is on chromosome 17, which is not a sex chromosome. However, that doesn't mean that the sex chromosomes, or other factors, don't lead to different posttranslational processing in men versus women. So, I'm not saying you are wrong, just saying I find this surprising and couldn't find the info quickly with my ****ty Google skillz and the wikipedia page for growth hormone.
Incidentally, prescription of HGH is very rare, and it is considered illegal for off label uses. So unless Peyton or his wife have one of the prescribed uses, they have a shady-ass "doctor". From Wikipedia: "U.S. sales are
limited by law to treat a rare growth defect in children and a handful of uncommon conditions like short bowel syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome, a congenital disease that causes reduced muscle tone and a lack of hormones in sex glands."
In other words, which is more likely, that someone in that household has one of these syndromes, or that Peyton was using it to help recover from neck surgery?
Who is his doctor? They may have committed a felony:
In 1990, the US Congress passed an omnibus crime bill, the
Crime Control Act of 1990, that amended the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, that classified
anabolic steroids as
controlled substances and added a new section that stated that
a person who "knowingly distributes, or possesses with intent to distribute, human growth hormone for any use in humans other than the treatment of a disease or other recognized medical condition, where such use has been authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services" has committed a felony
Growth hormone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OTOH it is quite possible it was used (legally) for fertility treatments:
Growth Hormone to Boost IVF Success Rates in Poor Responders | Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago Blog
Growth hormone has been used for poor responders for many years. However due to the very high cost of growth hormone in the past it was rarely utilized. However, over the years with more competition in the pharmaceutical marketplace the cost of growth hormone has come down. During this same time frame, more studies have been published showing benefit from treatment with growth hormone for IVF low responders.
On the other, other hand, what are the odds that for fertility treatment they would send it to their house, to let her inject it herself? She'd have the flippin doctor do it in a clinic. This smells like back alley ******** dealings to me. Unless she likes having it done by a doctor at home, in which case why would they have it sent to their house? The doctor would just bring it each time.
It just doesn't add up.
It pisses me off so much that if this were Brady, it would be all over the news. I remember last year even NPR,
freaking NPR, which never covers anything interesting ever, had a story about the stupid defamegate story. It was everywhere.
Thank God we won that freaking game. Love me some Butler. I'd pretty much be homocidal/suicidal if we had lost.
