somatotropin also know as growth hormoneundersecretion of somatotropin in children causes dwarfism.oversecretion of somatotropin in children causes gigantism
The amount of hormone that is present in gigantism is HYPER because you can choose either ( HYPO or HYPER) . Because the gigantism is overproduction of growth hormones during childhood or adolescence.
Lack of growth hormone may cause dwarfism. Growth hormone is essential for stimulating growth in childhood and overall development. Deficiency in growth hormone can lead to stunted growth and a condition known as dwarfism.
No it is not
Gigantism is often caused by a genetic mutation that leads to excessive growth hormone production. This mutation can be passed down from a parent to a child through inheritance of the specific gene involved in regulating growth hormones. However, not all cases of gigantism are inherited, as some can be caused by non-genetic factors or random mutations.
There are no good advantages on dwarfism or gigantism.
The growth hormone is responsible for causing dwarfism or gigantism in children when levels are improperly regulated. Inadequate levels of growth hormone can lead to dwarfism, while excessive levels can result in gigantism. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating growth and development in children.
Yes, gigantism and dwarfism are both caused by hormonal imbalances, specifically involving growth hormones produced by the pituitary gland. Gigantism results from an excess of growth hormone, leading to excessive growth, while dwarfism is due to a deficiency of growth hormone, resulting in stunted growth.
some forms of dwarfism are caused by a hormone insufficiency, which can be partially treated by providing the patient with the hormone (growth hormone). in gigantism instead, there is overproduction of this hormone, which can't be put in normal range.
Growth hormone is produced and released by the anterior pituitary. Excess early in life can produce gigantism, deficiency can cause dwarfism. Later in life, excess causes acromegaly.I'm looking for this same answer and just found it!:growth-hormone deficiency
Too less of a growth hormone in the anterior pituary gland. Too much growth hormone causes people to get gigantism.

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.
Hmm I'm not sure but the disorders are Gigantism, Dwarfism, Acromegaly, Goiter, Grave's Disease, Cretinism etc.
In my experience, it works no matter the size difference, unless we are talking about dwarfism or gigantism. People tend to be fairly flexible where sex is involved
"Gigantism" is the common, non-technical, everyday name for "macrosomia."
it depends on which gender has dwarfism so if the women has dwarfism the she could have a baby that has dwarfism
