Physiology and Physiopathology of Growth Hormone

A Comprehensive Guide to the Physiology and Pathophysiology of Growth Hormone

Growth hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone that plays a vital role in growth, development, and metabolism. It is produced by the pituitary gland and released in pulses throughout the day, with the highest levels occurring during deep sleep. GH stimulates the growth of bone and muscle tissue, and it also helps to regulate metabolism and fluid balance.

In this comprehensive book, Drs. Bernardo Liberman and Arthur Cukiert provide a detailed overview of the physiology and pathophysiology of GH. They cover everything from the basic science of GH to the clinical implications of GH deficiency and excess.
