Human Growth Hormone is released by the pituitary gland which aids in the proper growth in children as well as maintaining a proper body structure and metabolism in all adults. The hormone, also known as Somatotropin, is not only responsible for the growth of the body but also for keeping a check on other vital metabolisms like blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate, and many more.
The growth hormone never stops working once the children have reached their growth limit. The focus is then shifted from the muscles and bones to the other vital signs such as blood glucose levels and release of a proper amount of insulin which helps to maintain the blood sugar and carbohydrate levels of the body for the proper functioning of an adult. The pituitary gland never stops releasing the growth hormone, therefore, once the growth is stopped, the hormone also maintains muscle mass and bone health for the proper functioning of the human body.
Keeping a proper check on the limited amount of growth hormone is very important. Since growth hormone is responsible for maintaining other parts and functions of the human body, if not maintained, can have an adverse effect. An adult may experience an increase in body fat, low energy rate and weak heart. High blood sugar levels can lead to a risk of heart deficiencies or kidney failure. Other issues that many arise are improper menstrual cycle in females, abnormally large facial features, erectile dysfunction in men, and other hormonal issues. In children, it can lead to improper development of muscles and bones, not hitting puberty at the right time, delayed hair growth and less changes in the development of face and body with age. High growth hormone can also lead to abnormal heights, development of deep voice in young males, or even obesity.
Therefore, with all of the concerns listed above, it is very important to keep a proper count of growth hormones in children as well as in adults. The Human Growth Hormone Test helps to understand if the body is producing an adequate amount of growth hormone and how well is it affecting the human body. The normal test includes IGF-1 test which tests the IGF-1 hormone which maintains the growth hormone in the body. In case of abnormalities, IGBP-3 test may be done.
