HGH
Hormone Released By The Anterior Pituitary Gland!
1. What is it and where does it come from?
Growth Hormone (GH) is the master hormone, because it is released by
the master gland--the anterior pituitary gland. While GH is not
necessary or critical to one's survival, it seems to play an important
evolutionary role in human development. During puberty, GH levels
dictate a person's height and bone size. After puberty, GH continues to
regulate the body's metabolism.
