OHIO professor receives $220,000 grant to continue growth hormone, fat cell research Published: January 13, 2021 Author: Staff reports Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Kevin Lee, Ph.D., associate professor in the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, recently received a $220,000 boost for his research looking at how adipose, or fat, tissue reacts to growth hormone. The funding award comes from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company. The funds will be paid out over three years as different conditions are met.   “Growth hormone does a lot in the body, such as causing linear growth so that people get taller. However, it also causes people to lose fat mass,” Lee said, noting this is why athletes may use growth hormone to increase lean muscle mass while reducing their amount of adipose tissue.
