| growth hormone |
A hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that is instrumental in regulating growth. It is released in periodic bursts during the day and night, especially during sleep, and is controlled by the hypothalamus. HGH promotes protein building in all cells, increases use of fatty acids for energy, and reduces use of carbohydrates. Growth effects depend on the presence of thyroid hormone, insulin, and carbohydrate.
