Specific Hormones | Functions of Growth Hormone (hGH)

The video explains the functions of human growth hormone (HGH), detailing its release from the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland. It highlights HGH's role in increasing nutrient availability for ATP and protein synthesis, affecting adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle, and bone. The hormone stimulates lipolysis, gluconeogenesis, and glycogenolysis, enhancing glucose and amino acid uptake. It also promotes protein synthesis and bone density. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are discussed, including their feedback mechanism on growth hormone release. The video concludes with a preview of thyroid hormones.
