Growth hormone
* Most growth hormone tests measure blood
  - hormones cause effects
* Most growth hormones have benefits
  - impact
* Most growth hormones have positive effects
* Most growth hormones help growth
  - muscle growth
  - improve performance
  - increase chances
* Most growth hormones induce growth
  - normal growth
* Most growth hormones play major roles
  - vital roles
  - promote differentiations
* Most growth hormones provide benefits
  - other benefits
* Most growth hormones stimulate growth
  - production
  - root growth
* Some growth hormones are produced by cows
  - cause tumors
  - find in blood
* Some growth hormones help children
* Some growth hormones increase food intake
  - used in meat production are human carcinogens
* acts on a wide variety of tissues to promote protein synthesis and growth.
* affects many of the tissues in the body, including bone, fat and muscle.
* are produced by the anterior pituitary gland of vertebrates
  - proteins, similar to insulin that is used to treat diabetes
  - species-specific
* can also increase muscle mass over the short term
  - help build height and weight
  - reverse the symptoms of loss of bone, muscle, energy, and libido
* causes hypertrophy of the kidney after one was removed
  - mammary growth in combination with other hormones
* chemical normally made in the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain.
* comes from two manufacturers.
* control childhood development and maintain certain tissue structure in adults.
* controls somatic growth, tissue anabolism, and metabolic homeostasis.
* declines with age in every animal species that has been tested to date.
* decreases protein catabolism in children with cystic fibrosis.
* encourages the body to put on muscle and use fat as a fuel.
* enhances reepithelialization of human split - thickness skin graft donor sites
  - split-thickness skin graft donor sites
* fails to reverse effects of aging, researchers say.
* fuels childhood growth and helps maintain tissues and organs throughout life.
* has a strong effect on bone growth, including the bones of the upper and lower jaws
  - no specific target tissue
  - pivotal role in influencing protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in adults
  - powerful effects on the body
  - the same effect on tadpoles and frogs as it does on mammals
  - two distinct binding sites for growth hormone receptors
* helps to maintain youthful protein synthesis within cells
  - trigger fat metabolism for energy use in the muscle growth process
  - that is produced and released by the pituitary gland in the brain
* increases rate of pubertal maturation
  - the collagen supporting tissue of bone
* is also an important factor in regulating bone growth
  - of considerable interest as a drug used in both humans and animals
  - an important hormone that declines with aging
  - at times given to girls to help a child achieve a greater height
  - critical in maintaining and repairing muscle
* is essential for wound healing, necessary for repair
  - to growth
* is given by twice per day self administered injections
  - to cattle to increase milk production
  - in many ways an anti-aging hormone
  - known for burning body fat
* is made by the pituitary
  - in the pituitary gland and controls the growth of the bones
  - necessary to repair the connective tissue in order to prevent aches and pains
  - now available in an orally-absorbed spray
  - partially responsible for keeping bones and muscles strong
* is produced by the pituitary gland
  - pituitary, the body's master gland
  - during deep sleep, meaning less of the hormone is produced
  - released, which causes tissues to heal and regrow
  - replaced in twice daily self-administered injections
  - secreted at night, and children are on medications during the day
* is secreted during deep sleep
  - deep, slow-wave sleep
  - in bursts
  - taken by twice per day, painless and easy, self-administered injections
* is the most abundant hormone made in the pituitary gland in the brain
  - only anti-aging treatment known that actually makes people look younger
  - used for muscle development and building new muscle mass
* key factor in body growth and organ development.
* natural hormone of the body which is necessary for normal linear growth.
* occurs naturally within the body and is necessary for normal growth.
* plays a counter regulatory role in glucose regulation
  - role in bone development, muscle development, and fat and weight gain
* potent modulator of protein synthesis.
* primes the oxidative burst of human neutrophils.
* promotes growth of the body
  - healthy anabolic metabolism throughout the body
  - protein metabolism and muscle development
* protein made by the pituitary gland and released into the blood
  - that is necessary for the normal growth of the body's bones and tissues
* pushes the cell so that it goes into the repair and reproductive stage more quickly.
* reduces adipocyte sensitivity.
* rejuvenates the immune system.
* results in reduction in body fat with increased muscle growth development.
* reverses age-related cardiac myofilament dysfunction in rats.
* seem to be safe, at least for the first few years.
* stimulates body cells to synthesize proteins and
  - growth in children and muscle synthesis in adults
* stops the sagging, helps the immune system, the muscle mass and the sex drive.
* trigger responses.
* upregulates gastrin and peptide yy gene expression.
* very specific chemical, with a very specific job.
