Growth Hormones
Understanding Growth Hormones
Growth hormones are hormones produced by the pituitary gland that play a crucial role in stimulating growth and development in children, as well as regulating various physiological functions in adults.
In adults, growth hormone helps to regulate metabolism, body composition, and energy levels. Low levels of growth hormone in adults can lead to reduced bone density, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, and decreased quality of life.
Monitoring Growth Hormone Levels
It is important to monitor growth hormone levels and to treat imbalances as needed. Growth hormone therapy may be necessary for individuals with GHD or other medical conditions.
Proper treatment and monitoring of growth hormone levels can help to prevent and manage health problems associated with imbalances in growth hormone production.
