protein hormone produced by the pituitary gland that promotes growth, fat mobilization, and inhibition of glucose utilization.
a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland; promotes growth in humans
a hormone which is continuously secreted from the pituitary gland not only during a growth period but also all through life in a normal human
A hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that, in children, causes physical growth. In adults as well as children, hGH is essential to maintain healthy body composition and metabolism (in other words, to improve one's ratio of fat to lean body mass). Also known simply as growth hormone or somatotropin.
pituitary hormone that regulates growth. Athletes have misused HGH to get bigger and stronger.
Also called Somatotropin, HGH is a protein-like hormone that many researchers believe has greater capacity to prevent and reverse aging than any other substance. Under a physician's care, HGH replacement therapy is administered with daily injections. Alternatively or in addition, HGH releasers are widely available without prescription, including arginine, ornithine, and other amino acids taken orally as supplements.
a peptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. HGH enhances growth by stimulating metabolism and protein synthesis, and also stimulates the immune system. Recombinant human growth hormone (Serostim) is a genetically engineered drug used for the treatment of HIV-related wasting syndrome. Side effects include muscle pain, edema and carpal tunnel syndrome. (hgh, somatotropin, serostim)
The hormone secreted by the pituitary gland which stimulates and regulates growth.
The hormone that regulates growth.
Indications: Hormonal treatment of AIDS wasting syndrome. Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity, presence of an actively growing intracranial tumor. Dosage: For patients 55 kg, dose is 6 mg SC qd; for patients 45-55 kg, dose is 5 mg SC qd; for patients 35-45 kg, dose is 4 mg SC qd. Toxicity: Arthralgia, edema, hypertension, hyperglycemia. Pregnancy category B.
HGH, also known as the youth hormone, enhances calcium retention, bone density, lean muscle mass, fat reduction, protein synthesis and growth of many different organ systems of the body. HGH declines with age unless one maintains an active lifestyle that includes weight-bearing activity.
a hormone released by the pituitary gland that regulates growth; also involved in fatty acid metabolism.
The human growth hormone is also known as somatropin and this is the generic name under which the therapy is marketed for prescriptions. The term human growth hormone can either refer to the hormone which is produced naturally within the human body or the synthetic versions which are now marketed under the FDA approved injectable therapies as well as the homeopathic therapy versions.
A hormone is a special chemical made by our glands that can carry messages from one part of our bodies to another. Our bodies have many different types of hormones. hGH is the growth hormone made by the pituitary gland. It is a special chemical messenger that the pituitary gland sends to the bones when the brain tells it to. When growth hormone gets to the bones, it causes us to grow.
Human somatotropin, a protein hormone made in the pituitary gland. Lab-grown (HGH) bacteria given a copy of the gene for human growth hormone can then produce large amounts of HGH, which can be purified and used to treat certain kinds of human dwarfismþa pathological condition of growth arrested by various causes.
a hormone which enhances tissue growth by stimulating protein formation. HGH can be of value as a treatment to reverse AIDS-related wasting syndrome.
