Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of healthy older men and women with oral MK-677 for 12 months will enhance pulsatile GH release and increase mean GH and IGF-I concentrations into the range of young adults and will have favorable effects on body composition and functional ability on older adults.
