Human Growth Hormone

Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in growth, development, metabolism, and overall health. It is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain.

Functions of Human Growth Hormone:

  1. Stimulation of Growth:
    • During childhood and adolescence, HGH promotes linear growth by stimulating the growth plates in the long bones.
  2. Cell Regeneration and Repair:
    • HGH plays a key role in the regeneration and repair of cells, tissues, and organs throughout the lifespan.
  3. Metabolism Regulation:
    • It helps regulate metabolism by promoting the breakdown of fats (lipolysis) and encouraging the conversion of fats into energy.

    • HGH contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass by stimulating the synthesis of proteins and promoting the uptake of amino acids by muscle cells.
  2. Bone Density:
    • It enhances bone mineralization and density, contributing to skeletal health.
  3. Immune System Support:
    • HGH has immunomodulatory effects, influencing the function of the immune system.
