How is growth hormone release stimulated and how is it inhibited?
Growth hormone is released by the anterior pituitary gland , and is responsible for the overall growth of our body. Mnay factors regulate the release of growth hormone such as stress, nutrition , sleep , growth etc.
A hypothalamic hormone called as GHRH (Growth Hormone releasing hormone) stimulates the release of growth hormone.
Somatostatin released by hypothalamus has an inhibitory effect on the release of growth hormone.
Ghrelin released from stomach also stimulates the release of growth hormone.
1. Growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary, which is located at the base of the brain, and acts through growth hormone receptors located in the liver. Is this an example of endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine signaling? How do you know? 2. Release of growth hormones is a tightly controlled process. Discuss how the cell regulates the release of secreted growth hormones
