Summary Introduction

The anterior lobe of the pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin. GH regulates the growth of muscle, bone, and other tissues in the body. Also, it promotes the utilization of fats for energy. Abnormal functions of the pituitary gland can lead to hyposecretion (inadequate release) or hypersecretion (excessive release) of GH. Hyposecretion and hypersecretion of GH can cause various diseases, for example, hyposecretion of GH causes pituitary dwarfism and hypersecretion of GH causes gigantism and acromegaly.
