How does growth hormone promote growth of the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By IGF-1: Interesting story. African pygmies have normal gh levels, but are small. There liver's do not produce "insulin-like growth factor" with exposure to gh. Igf-1 puts the entire body into an anabolic mode that promotes growth of all organs.
