Summary
The purpose of the SMART study was to better understand whether the body's own production of
growth hormone (GH) would improve memory and problem solving ability, or cognitive function.
The study was a double blind, placebo-controlled study of the cognitive effects of growth
hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) in healthy older men and women and in those with mild
cognitive impairment (MCI).
