In this video, Dr Mark Gordon speaks about secretalogs (hormone releasing hormones or peptides) at the 2013 Age Management Medicine Conference in Las Vegas.
This lecture by Dr. Mark L. Gordon discusses the use of secretagogues in Age Management Interventional Endocrinology due to the increasing challenges in using growth hormone. Secretagogues are seen as a logical first step before resorting to injectable growth hormone. The lecture emphasizes the efficacy of secretagogues, highlighting that in cases where the pituitary is involved, injectable growth hormone may be necessary. The regulations surrounding the use of growth hormone are strict, with requirements for challenge tests before prescribing. The cost considerations and efficacy of secretagogues are also addressed, noting the different pathways they target to stimulate growth hormone production.
- Secretagogues are recommended as the first step before using injectable growth hormone
- Challenge tests are required before prescribing growth hormone
- Regulations for growth hormone use are stringent
- Secretagogues target different pathways to stimulate growth hormone production
