SOMATROPIN 60iu *HGH*

SOMATROPIN 60iu HGH (Watson): Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration in humans and other animals. Somatotropin (STH) refers to the growth hormone 1 produced naturally in animals, whereas the term somatropin refers to growth hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology, and is abbreviated “HGH” in humans.

SOMATROPIN 60iu HGH (Watson): Growth hormone is used as a prescription drug in medicine to treat children’s growth disorders and adult growth hormone deficiency. At this time, HGH is still considered a very complex hormone, and many of its functions are still unknown.

GH has been studied for use in raising livestock more efficiently in industrial agriculture and several efforts have been made to obtain governmental approval to use GH in livestock production. These uses have been controversial.

The normal effect of HGH Somatropin produced by the body: Effects of growth hormone on the tissues of the body can generally be described as anabolic (building up). Like most other protein hormones, GH acts by interacting with a specific receptor on the surface of cells.

Increased height during childhood is the most widely known effect of GH. Height appears to be stimulated by at least two mechanisms:

Because polypeptide hormones are not fat-soluble, they cannot penetrate sarcolemma. Thus, GH exerts some of its effects by binding to receptors on target cells, where it activates the MAPK/ERK pathway. Through this mechanism, GH directly stimulates the division and multiplication of chondrocytes of cartilage. GH also stimulates, through the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1, formerly known as somatomedin C), a hormone homologous to proinsulin. The liver is a major target organ of GH for this process and is the principal site of IGF-1 production. IGF-1 has growth-stimulating effects on a wide variety of tissues. Additional IGF-1 is generated within target tissues, making it what appears to be both an endocrine and an autocrine/paracrine hormone. IGF-1 also has stimulatory effects on osteoblast and chondrocyte activity to promote bone growth.

In addition to increasing height in children and adolescents, HGH Somatropin has many other effects on the body:

◦ Increases calcium retention, and strengthens and increases the mineralization of bone ◦ Increases muscle mass through sarcomere hyperplasia ◦ Promotes lipolysis ◦ Increases protein synthesis ◦ Stimulates the growth of all internal organs excluding the brain ◦ Plays a role in homeostasis ◦ Reduces liver uptake of glucose ◦ Promotes gluconeogenesis in the liver ◦ Contributes to the maintenance and function of pancreatic islets ◦ Stimulates the immune system
