Growth Hormone and Gut Function: 5 Research Findings About GH, IGF-1 and Intestinal Biology

Posted on by admin

Growth hormone and gut function are connected through endocrine pathways involved in intestinal tissue growth, nutrient transport and the body’s response to intestinal injury. Growth hormone (GH) acts through its own receptor and through insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a […]

Growth Hormone and Skin Biology: 6 Research Findings About GH, IGF-1, Collagen and Wound Repair

Posted on by admin

Growth hormone and skin biology are closely connected through the activity of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and other cells responsible for maintaining the skin’s structure. Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) influence several processes involved in dermal maintenance, extracellular […]

Growth Hormone and the Brain: 5 Research Findings About GH Receptors, Cognition and Neurobiology

Posted on by admin

Growth hormone and the brain are connected through more than the pituitary gland’s role in hormone secretion. Growth hormone (GH) receptors are found in several regions of the central nervous system, and research suggests that GH and insulin-like growth factor […]

Growth Hormone and Adipose Tissue: 6 Research Findings About Lipolysis, Fat Distribution and GH Signalling

Posted on by admin

Growth hormone and adipose tissue have a well-established relationship in endocrine research. Growth hormone (GH) does more than regulate growth through insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). It also acts directly on fat cells, influencing the release of stored fatty acids, […]
