Human growth hormones have major effects on carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. Many people believe that not only does it have a direct effect but that IGF-I is the significant go-between. In some cases, there are direct and indirect effects that affect the growth of the human body.

Some of the major metabolic effects include:

  • Protein metabolism – this increases the amino uptake, increases protein synthesis and decreases the oxidation of proteins.
  • Fat metabolism – improves the utilization of fat
  • Carbohydrate metabolism – aids in maintaining blood glucose in a normal range.
