Brief Summary:
The use of growth hormone in obese cases with COVID-19 may help them to recover earlier.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Covid19 Drug: Growth Hormone Drug: Placebo Phase 4

Detailed Description:

It is well known that lymphoid organs such the thymus, the spleen and peripheral blood produce growth hormone (GH) and GH receptor is expressed on different subpopulations of lymphocytes. Many in vitro and in animal studies demonstrate an important role of GH in immunoregulation. GH stimulates T and B cells proliferation and immunoglobulin synthesis, enhances the maturation of myeloid progenitor cells and is also able to modulate cytokine response.

The use of growth hormone in obese cases with COVID-19 may help them to recover earlier.
