What is "growth hormone-releasing factor"?
Growth hormone-releasing factor, also known as growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), is a hormone that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating growth, metabolism, and body composition. By binding to specific receptors on the pituitary gland, GHRH triggers the production and secretion of growth hormone, which promotes tissue growth, protein synthesis, and cell reproduction throughout the body.
