Growth Hormone Secretagogue Action

Meaning

Growth Hormone Secretagogue Action describes the pharmacological mechanism by which certain compounds stimulate the pituitary gland to increase the pulsatile secretion of endogenous Growth Hormone (GH). These agents do not introduce exogenous GH but rather enhance the body’s natural signaling pathways to produce and release its own hormone. This action is a targeted strategy used in clinical practice to safely support the somatotropic axis and its downstream metabolic benefits.
