This multi-organ effect of HGH brings about organomegaly, that is enlargement of visceral internal organs, such as the stomach resulting in its protrusion through the body wall and hence the condition.
The HGH has receptors on all organs and tissues of the body, causing growth of these organs when HGH binds to these receptors.

This glycogen requires water along with it to be in a storable form. The carbohydrates consumed are stores as glycogen in liver and muscles. The diet of bodybuilders consist of large amounts of carbohydrates, proteins and lesser fat. Insulin causes build-up of fat in and around the stomach called visceral fat causing visible bulging of the midsection.īodybuilders require more calories as compared to the rest of us leading to large amount of food taken up which may lie dormant in the stomach for long periods of time causing gut distension and bloated appearance. HGH and other performance enhancing drugs or steroids are taken along with insulin. This is more evident after consumption of food. HGH brings about growth of tissues and organs, in this case especially the intestines which grow in size and pushes the stomach giving it a round belly appearance. Later several other factors were also considered causative for Palumboism.Įxcessive and uncontrolled, un-prescribed use of HGH has been the main cause behind development of Plaumboism. Palumbo was the first person in history to have shown characteristic “Bubble gut” related to HGH overuse.
