What hormones has more target cells in the body than any of the others Antidiuretic hormone corticotropin releasing hormone growth hormone or oxytocin?
Growth hormone has more target cells in the body than any of the others mentioned. It acts on many tissues throughout the body to stimulate growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration.
Is the GH growth hormone healthy?
The GH growth hormone is a protein, and proteins are not bad for you. They are full of amino acids as well, and have many benefits that can be noticed.
Is the Growth hormone always exerts its influence by targeting other endocrine glands to produce hormones?
No, growth hormone can also act directly on target tissues to promote growth and development. It stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the liver, which then exerts many of the growth-promoting effects attributed to growth hormone.
Where can one learn more about growth hormone therapy?
The best place to get information on growth hormone therapy is from a doctor or a nurse. Alternatively there are many medical books with can be used as a reference.
What Gigantism and drarfism are both a result of improper functioning of hormones from the?
Gigantism is the result of an over production of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary glad while the growth plates in bone have not yet sealed. Dwarfism is not a single condition but has perhaps as many as 200 caused. Many are genetic and caused by slow or delayed growth. Lack of growth hormone is one of the reasons why this occurs.
What is the gland the hormone is released by dwarfism?
dwarfism is a condition in which the growth of the individual is very slow or delayed. There are many forms of dwarfism. The word pituitary is in reference to the pituitary gland in the body. This gland regulates certain chemicals (hormones) in the body. Therefore, pituitary dwarfism is decreased bodily growth due to hormonal problems. The end result is a proportionate little person, because the height as well as the growth of all other structures of the individual are decreased.

What is the major function of growth hormone?
HGH major functions is to stimulate growth and cell production in humans. It is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within pituitary gland. Human growth hormone is used clinically to treat children's growth disorders and adult growth hormone issues. Recently human growth hormones (HGH) have become used against aging and weight loss. HGH has claim that include weight loss, increased muscle, increased energy levels, improved skin, increased sexual function and improved immune system function. Many of the HGH formulas include L-Arginine which also has been found to support cardiovascular functions (Look up - Louis Ignarro, winner of the 1998 Nobel prize in physiology/medicine for Nitric Oxide Studies).
