vaxtarhormónum
Vaxtarhormónum, also known as somatotropin or growth hormone (GH), is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Its primary function is to stimulate growth and cell reproduction in humans and other vertebrates. In children, GH promotes the growth of long bones, leading to increased height. It also plays a role in muscle growth and bone density.
Beyond its role in childhood growth, vaxtarhormónum continues to be important throughout adulthood. It influences metabolism
The production of vaxtarhormónum is regulated by hormones from the hypothalamus, primarily growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH)
Deficiencies in vaxtarhormónum can lead to conditions such as dwarfism in children. Conversely, excessive production, particularly
