  • The growth hormone (GH) stimulates the growth of almost every tissue in the body including bones. 
  • GH is essential for physical growth in children. 
  • GH increases intensely during younger ages, and increases just a little during puberty.  
  • GH increases the breakdown of fat which provides energy that is needed for tissue growth. 
  • Too much GH in a child during their childhood can cause them to grow a lot larger than normal.  
  • In adults, too much GH can cause the bones of the face, jaw, and mouth to grow much larger than normal. 
  • Sometimes a GH test will be given to a child to see whether the child has dwarfism or gigantism.
Questions
  1. Why is GH important in a child?
  2. What are possible effects in a defect of GH?

  1. The topic of hormones is an important topic as it is one that effects the way people feel everyday.

    I'm wondering if you've considered how the bodies use of hormones changes as we age and how that might effect how people function at different times throughout our lives?

  3. One of the best parts about injectable Human Growth Hormone is the fact that it works on every part of your body. Since your body is bound to have a decrease in the rate of cell rejuvenation, there is a need to do something and boost its ability to regenerate the cells it is losing. Hence, investing in HGH injections for sale can help you achieve this goal.
