Somatotropin, the chemical name for growth hormone, is a polypeptide hormone synthesized and secreted by the pituitary gland. The r in rhGH is for recombinant DNA technology, which simply means , as opposed to before 1985, when hGH was retrieved from the anterior pituitary of cadavers. hGH, is the abbreviation for human growth hormone, indicating the correct sequence the hormone naturally produced in the body.
Growth hormone is also considered to be our master hormone due to the fact that it is first released at birth and continues to play a major role in our body's anabolic efforts. hGH remains present in our body and is a key player during our adolescence years and is responsible for the strengthening and mineralization of our bones. Other significant hGH functions also include hyperplasia (creation of new cells), lipolysis (fat burning) and protein synthesis.
Growth hormone is believed to enhance athletic performance and also increase muscle growth. hGH works differently to anabolic steroids, the difference being that steroids increase muscular size through hypertrophy or by increasing muscle tissue size, whereby hGh functions solely through hyperplasia, meaning the creation of new cells.
Although hGH functions through the increasing of IGF levels causing hyperplasia, our muscular size increases are not only associated with hGH on its own, and androgens will normally be required to enlarge the new cell tissue. To put it another way, you will one day reach a point that your muscles just won't get any bigger and not even steroids will be able to help. But with hGH you will be able to take yourself to new heights by adding new muscle cells through hyperplasia. You can then use Anabolic steroids to enhance muscle growth by working on our new cells that were produced by hGH.
Unlike anabolic steroids which must be cycled on and off to avoid permanently suppressing the body's hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal-axis (HPGA), hGH does not suppress the HPGA and can be used for long periods of time. Most users do not even begin to see results until at least two months into their hGH cycle, at that point, results will continue for as long as the hGH is used.
