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).

How does diabetes impact the production and function of growth hormone in the body?

Diabetes can affect the production and function of growth hormone in the body by disrupting the balance of hormones that regulate growth. High levels of glucose in the blood can impair the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, leading to growth hormone deficiency. This can result in stunted growth and other complications related to growth and development. Additionally, insulin resistance, which is common in diabetes, can also interfere with the action of growth hormone in the body.


The hormone that stimulates the release of growth hormone is called?

growth hormone-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus


Which hormone is important for bone growth during infancy and childhood?

Growth hormone is the hormone that stimulates bone and muscle growth. It is made in the pituitary gland. It is also known as somatotropin. Growth hormone is responsible for the increase in height in children and adolescents. It also increases bone density and muscle mass, and stimulates organ growth.


What is the major targets for growth hormones?

The target gland for growth hormone (GH) are liver, chondrocyte (mature cell found in cartilage) and adipose cells (fat/lipid storing cells). ^ Someone else said this, but according to my anatomy book, "Although growth hormone stimulates most body cells to increase in size and divide, it's major target are the bones and skeletal muscles. Stimulation of the epiphyseal plate leads to long bone growth, and stimulation of skeletal muscles promotes increased muscle mass."


WHat trophic hormones are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland?

The anterior pituitary gland secretes several trophic hormones, including adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), growth hormone (GH), and prolactin. These hormones regulate the function of other endocrine glands in the body.

Functions of the pituitary gland?

As you age, levels of human growth hormone begin and as science has proven, this decrease in growth hormone is directly related to the speed at which your body begins to age, affecting everything from your appearance (sagging and wrinkles) to muscle strength.
