Liu, H., et al. (2006)
The article references this study for many claims, but there is no link or DOI and I cannot find a journal "Endocrine Society meeting"; I think it was just some conference. Upon a google search, the article appears to be published in Ann Intern Med. 2007 Jan 16;146(2):104-15. The study was purely bibliometric and that makes me fairly uncomfortable, especially given the range of claims made. For instance, the Wikipedia article claims HGH causes gynecomastia, because this bibliometric study combined 3 small studies to find 6 total people observed with gyno. But this sounds like an apples to oranges comparison as gyno is often hidden under body fat. You'd have to put all the subjects on a diet to see who really has gyno or not. Otherwise you could just be observing a side effect of ordinary fat loss.
I'd be more comfortable if the article referenced more focused studies that were not bibliometric hodgepodges.CHF (talk) 16:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Creutzfeldt Jakob
Nothing about Creutzfeldt Jakob disease ? In the article about the C-JD, it's written "The defective protein can be transmitted by human growth hormone (hGH) products". talk 18:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
This is only relevant for human growth hormone manufactured from human pituitaries, as it was prior to 1985. Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease has not been described after growth hormone made by recombinant DNA technology. Pustelnik (talk) 23:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Citation 3
Citation 3 is not reliable because it is related to a low dosage (2/3 mg per day, athletes use about 4/10 mg) and also the duration is very low (21 days). For that reasons I request its deletion —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.194.65.44 (talk) 13:37, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
