Detailed explanation-1: -This release is controlled by two other hormones that are released from the hypothalamus (a part of the brain): growth hormone-releasing hormone, which stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormone, and somatostatin, which inhibits that release.
Detailed explanation-2: -Human growth hormone (hGH or GH) is a protein produced in the body that’s important not only during childhood but also throughout adulthood. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland, which is known as the “master gland” because it secretes many hormones that control the actions of other glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pituitary synthesis and secretion of GH is stimulated by episodic hypothalamic hormones. Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulates while somatostatin (SST) inhibits GH production and release. GH stimulates IGF-I production which in turn inhibits GH secretion at both hypothalamic and pituitary levels.
Detailed explanation-4: -Growth hormone (GH) is synthesised and secreted by the somatotroph cells of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
