Growth Hormone Action: growth hormone receptor, growth and metabolic effects
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Growth hormone (GH) therapy has been very successful in patients with GH deficiency in promoting short and long term growth. GH is being used not only in GH deficiency but also in several non GH deficient conditions. The structure, function, and physiology of GH are still being investigated with respect to its growth promoting and also metabolic effects. The aim of this review is to give a brief summary of the history, structure, secretion and control of GH and its effects on growth and metabolism. DOI: 10.4008/jcrpe.v1i1.22
