Human body naturally produces growth hormones in the pituitary gland. Human growth hormone is a peptide hormone, which stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans as well as animals. Growth hormone is stored and secreted by somatotropic cells within the lateral wings of anterior pituitary gland. Functions of growth hormones include increased height during childhood, increases calcium retention, strengthens and increases mineralization of the bone, increases muscle mass through sarcomere hypertrophy, promotes lipolysis, increases protein synthesis, stimulates growth of all internal organs excluding the brain, plays a vital role in homeostasis, reduces uptake of glucose by liver, stimulates the immune system, and increases DE iodination of T4 to T3. Excess secretion of growth hormones causes pituitary tumor, which consists of somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary. These somatotroph cells are benign and grow slowly, producing excess of growth ho...
