Ray Peat on growth hormone
"onstance Martin, in her Textbook of Endocrine Physiology, (1976), says that estrogens are not useful if administered over long periods of time.... M.R. Urist (in Biochem. and Physiol. of Bone, vol.2, G.H. Bourne, 1972 ed.) says that estrogen doesnt restore bone mass to a degree demonstrable by roentgenography, that excessive growth hormone may aggravate the disorder, and that estrogen stimulates the release of growth hormone."

Also, a high ratio of testosterone to estradiol or of testosterone to prolactin corresponded to better survival (Rannikko, et al, 1981.) Considered separately, patients with higher testosterone levels had a better prognosis than those with lower levels, and patients with lower growth hormone levels did better than those with higher growth hormone levels. (Wilson, et al., 1985.)"
