Endogenous Growth Hormone Pulsing

Meaning

Endogenous Growth Hormone Pulsing refers to the natural, intermittent secretion pattern of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland, characterized by distinct bursts or pulses, with the largest and most significant pulse typically occurring during deep sleep. This rhythmic release is essential for driving systemic anabolic processes, including tissue repair, lipolysis, and the hepatic production of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). Maintaining robust pulsing is a cornerstone of hormonal health and restorative physiology.
