Protein hormone secreted by a special organ in mammals, the pituitary gland, and each animal produces its own specific version of the hormone that is active in its own species and in species of lower order but not higher. The hormone directs milk product
The scientific name for human growth hormone (hGH).
Also known as growth hormone, a protein hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary that has potent metabolic and growth-promoting activities.
A protein hormone produced by the pituitary gland, which stimulates growth of muscle, bone and mammary development in young animals and increases milk production in lactating animals by making available nutrients for milk synthesis and secretion.
a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland; promotes growth in humans
Growth hormone (or somatotropin) is an anterior pituitary hormone that causes growth of almost all cells and tissues of the body.
A hormone produced by the pituitary gland; increases blood glucose levels.
Known in the medical community as GH or Growth Hormone. It is a powerful anabolic hormone that affects all systems of the body and plays an important role in muscle growth. It is a peptite hormone, which is composed of many amino acids (191 of them) linked togethers. It is rapidly metabolized by the liver and has a half-life in the blood of approxiamately 17 to 45 minutes. Because of this, detecting GH in a drug screen is very hard.
see human growth hormone.
Another name for human growth hormone.
A protein hormone produced by the pituitary gland that promotes physical growth.
Growth hormone; produced by the anterior pituitary in response to growth hormone–releasing hormone (GH-RH).
Hormone (191 amino acids) released by anterior pituitary that stimulates release of somatomedin, thereby causing growth.
