GH1 and sarcopenia: The hormonal analysis showed that GH (9.18 ± 2.36 vs. 12.20 ± 3.93 ng/mL), IGF-1 (98.53 ± 28.45 vs. 136.41 ± 48.95 ng/mL), T (2.20 ± 0.77 vs. 3.14 ± 1.23 ng/mL), and MGF (210.84 ± 67.01 vs. 392.98 ± 226.34 pg/mL) were lower in the sarcopenia group compared with the non-sarcopenia group (all P < 0.001) (Fig. 1).
