1. Human growth hormone is produced in the pituitary gland is secreted throughout a person's lifetime. It promotes growth in children and plays an important role in adult metabolism. It was first isolated in 1956 and its structure was identified in 1972. Until the mid-1980s the only source of HGH was from pituitary glands collected post mortem. Today HGH is available in larger quantities through the technique of genetic engineering and a number of conditions apart from the classical growth hormone insufficiency can be treated. Human growth hormone is the master hormone produced by the master gland, the pituitary, which rests just behind our eyes. HGH acts as a catalyst for many glandular secretions and life functions critical to maintaining youth. It's the stuff that makes nearly every cell in our bodies grow and repair over the course of our lives. Athletes use it for the following: Excessive hGH levels increase muscle mass by stimulating protein synthesis, strengthen bones by stimulating bone growth and reduce body fat by stimulating the breakdown of fat cells. Use of hGH has become increasingly popular because it is difficult to detect. Side effects include: Overgrowth of hands, feet, and face (acromegaly) because of the increased muscle and bone development in these parts Enlarged internal organs, especially heart, kidneys, tongue and liver Heart problems
