TL;DR: It is concluded that physiological and near-physiological increases of testosterone in older men will increase muscle protein anabolism and muscle strength.

TL;DR: Pituitary hormone deficiencies were identified in a substantial proportion of patients with previous brain injury, and GH deficiency, found in 15% by glucagon stimulation testing, may compound the physical and psychological complications of traumatic brain injury and interfere with rehabilitation.

TL;DR: The acute anabolic response to EAA supplementation is maintained over time and can improve LBM and basal muscle protein synthesis in older individuals, possibly offsetting the debilitating effects of sarcopenia.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the easily identifiable skin lesion, acanthosis nigricans, is common in the major minority groups in the United States and that its presence is a surrogate for laboratory-determined hyperinsulinemia.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence is provided suggesting that some of the cognitive impairments observed in persons who are GHD/GHI after TBI may be partially reversible with appropriate GH replacement therapy.
