Further Information
Long Description:
Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth and cell reproduction. It is synthesized, stored, and secreted by the somatotroph cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland. Effects of growth hormone on the tissues can generally be described as anabolic (building up). GH has several biological actions in the immune system: enhancing thymopoiesis and T cell development, modulating cytokine production, enhancing B cell development and antibody production, priming neutrophils and monocytes for superoxide anion secretion, enhancing neutrophil adhesion and monocyte migration and anti-apoptotic action. 1
