Growth Hormone (GH) is an anabolic hormone responsible for the somatic growth of young people. However, there is a progressive decline of the level of GH secretion with age where its level in old people is 20% of peak puberty level. Similarly, the level of Insulin-like Growth Factor I (...
Androgens are responsible for many male physical characteristics, and play critical roles in regulating blood sugar, supporting muscle growth, hair growth, metabolism, circadian rhythm and cognitive function. Hormonal imbalances in men can manifest in several ways: testosterone and growth hormone ...
In men, LH stimulates the production of testosterone, the main hormone responsible for muscle production and fat metabolism in women. • Progesterone (tested via blood spot) Progesterone plays a major role in both the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. Since it is often converted into other ...
Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatropin, is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the human body. It plays a crucial role in growth, development, and regeneration processes. It is responsible for stimulating the growth of cells, tissues, and organs, part...
Growth hormone is a peptide released from thepituitary glandthat stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 and thus suppressesproteolysisand increasesprotein synthesis, muscle growth, andlipolysis. At present, indications approved by the Food and Drug Administration forrecombinant growth hor...
has not yet been established with certainty. The physical and chemical properties of growth hormone, which differ from species to species, are associated with marked differences in biological activity. Only part of the molecule, however, is actually responsible for its biological activity, for up to...
Numerous of local growth factors and hormones are responsible for regulating mineral and bone metabolism, along with fracture healing. Administration of human growth hormone has been shown to speed up the regeneration of bone, making it a key part of bone healing. Applying growth factors like IGF...
The progesterone receptors (PR-A and B) appear to be responsible for smooth muscle growth. Animal studies show that progesterone reduces coronary vasospasm. In women with exercise-induced ischemia on stress testing, addition of progesterone increases exercise time, confirming the vasodilatory effect of...
What happens to my own growth hormone! It is scientific fact that after the age of 30, every human being begins some kind of hormonal declination. Its fact that growth hormone is responsible for who we are as individuals. It is growth hormone (HGH) that commands cell metabolizing. In retro...
Achieving normal growth is one of the most challenging problems in the management of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (GH) promotes longitudinal growth and likely enables children with CKD and sh
