The role of human growth hormone

Growth hormone can promote human growth, and can regulate the metabolism of substances in the body. Growth hormone mainly increases blood sugar by inhibiting the utilization of glucose by muscle and adipose tissue, and at the same time promoting gluconeogenesis and the decomposition of glycogen in the liver. Growth hormone can promote lipolysis and increase plasma free fatty acids. Insulin secretion decreases and growth hormone secretion increases during starvation, so the utilization of glucose in blood decreases and the utilization of fat increases. At this time, the content of glucose and free fatty acids in plasma increases.
