生长激素（growth hormone） growth hormone Basic overview The growth hormone of higher animals and the human body; the chemical component is protein. The auxin in plants is indole acetic acid, A hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that stimulates the growth of the body. Growth hormone can indirectly promote the growth of epiphyseal cartilage, promote the growth of bone and cartilage, and thus increase the body. Growth hormone may also have an effect on the intermediate metabolism and energy metabolism, can promote protein synthesis, enhance and utilization is an important element of sodium, potassium and calcium, phosphorus and sulfur uptake, and by inhibiting the consumption of sugar, accelerate the decomposition of fat, so that the source of energy from glucose to fat metabolism. People at a young age, if the lack of growth hormone secretion, causes growth retardation, the body looks particularly short, known as dwarf; if excessive growth hormone secretion, can cause excessive growth of the various parts of the body, bone growth is particularly significant, resulting in unusually tall figure, called gigantism. Adult, epiphyseal fusion, bone growth is no longer at this time, such as growth hormone hypersecretion, will stimulate bone, bone, acral soft tissue hyperplasia, manifested as hand, foot, ear, nose, jaw, tongue, liver, kidney and other organs showed increase of proportion, said acromegalia. Gigantism and acromegaly if the anterior pituitary gland can be caused by tumor, local radiation therapy or surgery, high dose of estrogen can inhibit the secretion of pituitary growth hormone action. For dwarfism, hormone therapy should be administered early, and human growth hormone has a significant effect on dwarfism. Difficulties due to growth hormone sources, So far, the clinical application of growth hormone has not been widely developed. Now scientists have tried gene engineering methods of human growth hormone gene isolated from chromosome DNA chain, recomb
