Control of Growth Hormone Secretion

 
 

There are many factors that can alter the production of growth hormones including:

  • Exercise
  • Nutrition
  • Sleep
  • Stress
  • The growth hormone

The two main controllers of the production of growth hormone are

  • Hypothalamic hormones
  • A hormone found in the stomach

The growth hormone is a hypothalamic peptide, which motivates the synthesis and secretion of growth hormone.
Somatostatin is also a peptide, which is created by a variety of body tissues. Somatostatin slows down the release of the growth hormone.

The hormone created in the stomach is the Ghrelin. It sticks to receptors and motivates the secretion of growth hormone.
