Growth Hormone (GH) - Somatotropin - Dwarfism, Gigantism, Acromegaly - Endocrine Physiology
Growth Hormone (GH) Somatotropin, Dwarfism (short stature, stunted of growth), Gigantism, Acromegaly | Endocrine Physiology. Growth hormone (somatotropin) is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland under influence of the hypothalamus — which secretes growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)…Growth hormone helps grow your bones, muscles, cartilages,…etc. GH and prolactin utilize the JAK-STAT pathway (Non-receptor tyrosine kinase). GH increases your height and prevents stunting of growth. Deficiency of growth hormone can lead to short stature (pituitary dwarfism). Excessive growth hormone can cause gigantism or acromegaly. 💊🦠 Antibiotics Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/products/courses/antibiotics/ 💦 🐳 Kidney Physiology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/products/ 🤰 ObGyn Highyields Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🚨 Emergency Medicine HighYields Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 😷 Surgery HighYields Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 💊 📛 Toxicology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ ❤️ Cardiac Pharmacology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🧪Acid-Base Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/products/ 🧠 Autonomic Pharmacology Course: www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🧪 Electrolytes Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🍱 Endocrine Pharmacology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/products/ 🧠 CNS Pharmacology Course: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 💊 General Pharmacology (Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics): https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 📝 Download my handwritten notes: www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ ⁉️ Questions and Answers: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 🗳 Complete the Survey: https://airtable.com/shrYWjvabooT7DrcG 🎁Free Stuff: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 💊 Pharmacology Lectures: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ YouTube PLAYLISTS: ► 🧠 Physiology Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qk_LTVXZ2w&list=PLYcLrRDaR8_eAjmngd289ghWijs2wfqnj&index=2&t=0s 🧫 🦠 Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYcLrRDaR8_ftu9ms-ytDewlhJxYNuIYo ► 🩸 Hematology videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYcLrRDaR8_eoNz6dxXolh1XMEietcniU ► 💪 Rheumatology: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYcLrRDaR8_ckdsow-7buX1rIzIEKfxZQ ► ❤️ Cardiac Pharmacology: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYcLrRDaR8_e3pM6ifeZDfNPlE3K4KF3J ► Biochemistry 🧪 : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYcLrRDaR8_c2LBpF_OYvwijOok7ae96N ►🔥Chemistry: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYcLrRDaR8_e4MrgwcOjbt3mS4nUbSs8w ► 🙌 Support me on cash app: https://cash.app/$medicosis/ ► Support me on Stripe: https://donate.stripe.com/3cs02Hb9ca2k4c8fYZ ► 😍 Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/medicosis/ ► Support me on Venmo: Venmo: https://venmo.com/medicosis ► 🥰 Support me on PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/perfectionalis/ ► ☕️ Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/medicosis/ ► 😚 Join my Channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl-J-ovSJhA3or73Q2uVpow/join --If you’ve joined my channel on youtube (the join button that's next to the subscribe button), then go to the "membership tab" and you will find some member-only posts/videos. ► 👨🏫 All of my premium courses are ON SALE: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ 📚 Recommended Books: https://www.amazon.com/shop/medicosisperfectionalis/ ► ❓If you have any questions, please email me at: [email protected] 🗳 Complete the Survey: https://airtable.com/shrYWjvabooT7DrcG/ ►Website: https://www.medicosisperfectionalis.com/ ►Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/medicosis/ ►YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MedicosisPerfectionalis or: ► Like my page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/medicosis/ ►Follow us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/medicosisperfectionalis/ ►PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/perfectionalis/ ►Venmo: @medicosis ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicosis/ ►Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/medicosis/ ►SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/medicosis/ ►TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@medicosisp/ ►LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/medicosis-perfectionalis-873886197/ ►Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/medicosis/ ►Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/medicosisperfectionalis/ ►Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/MedicosisPerfectionalis/ ► Tumblr: https://medicosis.tumblr.com/ Thank you so much for supporting my channel!
