HGH – (96827-07-5)

Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. HGH stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which promotes growth in children and maintains body structure and metabolism in adults.

HGH is released in pulses, primarily during sleep, and is regulated by growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatostatin. Synthetic HGH, or recombinant HGH, is used to treat conditions like growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, and chronic kidney disease.

Excess HGH can lead to acromegaly in adults or gigantism in children, while deficiency can cause growth issues in children and metabolic problems in adults.
