    GlossaryGrowth Hormone (Somatotropin)

    peptide hormone from the pituitary gland that stimulates growth

    Growth Hormone (GH), also known as Human Growth Hormone (HGH) or somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism by stimulating the liver to produce another hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which promotes the growth of bones and tissues. GH is also involved in regulating body composition, muscle and bone growth, and overall physical performance.

Replies suggest that Pyrilutamide, like RU58841, may not work for everyone, and a more potent drug is being developed by Kintor.
