Human Growth Hormones
GROWTH HORMONES, you can also call it as somatrophin is a protein, which contains 191 amino acids and is usually found in children and young adults at it's highest levels. A human body naturally produces it to help fuel growth during childhood period and to maintain organs and tissues of the body for whole life.
The pea-sized structure present at the base of your brain is known as pituitary gland that produces largest amount of hgh. This gland slowly reduces the amount of hormone when human reach at his 40s. HGH is a very complex hormone, as it is made up of 191 amino acids. You can say that it is one of the largest hormone or the largest protein created by the pituitary gland.
Secretion of growth hormone reaches at the highest point during adolescence. This makes sense because this hormone assists stimulation of our body to grow, but the secretion of it does not stop after adolescence. Usually, our body produces it in short bursts during deep sleep.
Generally, any part or anything that goes in our body is related to growth hormone in some way. That's why human growth hormone often called as the fountain of youth as you feel younger with its elevated levels.
This hormone is produced in a person's body throughout his lifetime but during his youth it exists in a great quantity. It induces growth in children and plays a very significant role in adult metabolism.
Human growth hormone known to be critical for muscle growth, tissue repair, healing, bone strength, brain function, physical and mental strength, energy and metabolism. Actually, it is very important factor to just about every aspect of our life.
Role of Human Growth Hormone:
Human growth hormone plays several significant roles in:- Conversion of body fat to muscle mass
- Energy level
- Growth of all tissues
- Tissue repair
- Cell replacement
- Enzyme production
- Whole body healing
- Bone strength
- Sexual function
- Brain function
- Organ health and integrity
- Integrity of nails, hair, skin and vital organs
In 1996 scientists first isolated this hormone. It was started to use in the treatments for the children suffering from stunted growth problems. The only source to produce HGH was human corpses before the arrival of genetic engineering. The pituitary glands from the human body are removed from cadavers, then these glands are processed and the hormones are made to be available in injectable forms.
The growth hormone is mostly used for short children, but now days other people have found various uses of it. All types of sportsman and athletes were started to use it to boost their performance in various sports.
The main use of hgh is to increase muscle size. The competitors in many sports need power and strength would be mostly benefited because of the correlation between the strength and muscle size of a human body.
It also helps to recover the tired muscles quickly and allows you to train harder and more often. But in the endurance sports it is not used mostly instead of it EPO has bee favoured, which maximizes the oxygen carrying capacity and thus stamina.
