Human growth hormone has been found to increase muscle mass but can also lead to side effects such as swollen ankles and stiff joints, especially in older individuals. Melatonin is not known to have direct effects on muscle mass. Telomerase is an enzyme that adds DNA sequences to the ends of chromosomes and has no direct effects on muscle mass. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone that has been studied for its potential effects on aging, but the evidence for its effects on muscle mass is limited.
