Physiologic Effects of Growth Hormone. 1  Protein metabolism: In general, growth hormone stimulates protein anabolism in many tissues. This effect reflects increased amino acid uptake, increased protein synthesis and decreased oxidation of proteins.
Epinephrine also antagonizes insulin action. Like glucagon it stimulates glycogenolysis. In addition it reduces the insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues and inhibits the release of insulin. Growth hormone decreases glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue gluconeogenesis in liver.In the presence of insulin, growth hormone stimulates protein synthesis.n addition it reduces the insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues and inhibits the release of insulin.
