The endocrine system regulates vital processes in the body including growth, metabolism, and sexual development. This system is comprised of several major endocrine glands. These glands secrete hormones into the blood.
Human growth hormone (hGH) is a long chain amino acid molecule produced by the anterior pituitary gland, located at the base the brain. It is a large fragile protein molecule with a molecular weight of 20,000. HGH acts on many different tissues to promote healthy metabolism. The bulk of the effect accomplished by hGH is performed by a related hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), which is released predominantly by the liver and, to some extent, by other tissues in response to the presence of hGH.
