You heard talked about it, with so much information out there on the effects of the growth hormone. Human growth Hormone (HGH) is a hormone produced by somatotropic cells, which are specialized cells of the anterior pituitary, a gland located deep in the brain. Hgh is a protein composed of a string of 196 specific amino acids. It is the most abundant hormone released from the anterior pituitary with about 40 percent of the anterior pituitary gland being composed of somatotropic cells. Hgh, sometimes called the “master Hormone” because of its role in the proper functioning of so many systems of the body, is really misnamed. Its role in human physiology extends far beyond the responsibility for growth from babyhood to adulthood. Hgh causes the growth of nearly every cell and tissue of the body of the developing child and adolescent by affecting protein formation, cell differentiation, and cell growth.
In an adult it is probably the most powerful ant-aging molecule in the body causing the cells of the body to regenerate, repair, and replicate themselves. We will talk about the profound effect HGH has on the body later on. Unlike almost all of the hormones produced by the anterior pituitary, growth hormone does not interact with a specific organ, gland or tissue. Instead it has a wide reaching influence on almost all tissues and cells of the body. The different effects of growth hormone can be broken down into its physiological function and its influence on metabolism.
The physiological functions of growth hormone are involved with the normal growth and development of the body from infancy to adulthood. These functions begin to decline as we reach full height and size. The tremendous growth from birth to adulthood is due to growth hormones impact on almost all of the tissues of the body. Growth hormone increases the size and the number of cell in the body and helps with cellular differentiation. For example it will help a cell differentiate into either a muscle cell or a bone cell. Growth hormone causes an increase in deposition of protein by the cells responsible for bone and cartilage growth, and facilitates the formation of specific cells called osterogenic cells that cause the actual deposition of new bone to occur. This signals the bones to lengthen until the generically pre-determine length is established. This effect of growth hormone is most profound in the first 15 to 18 years of life.
