What is Growth Hormone: Functions and Disorders about?

Growth hormone (GH), or somatotrophin, is a crucial hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland that regulates growth and development. It influences protein, carbohydrate, and fat metabolism, with significant effects including acromegaly and gigantism from hypersecretion, and dwarfism from hyposecretion. GH secretion occurs episodically, with a peak during deep sleep, and has a biological half-life of 6-20 minutes.
