Somatotropic Cell Stimulation

Meaning

Somatotropic Cell Stimulation is the process of activating the somatotropic cells, which are a specific population of acidophil cells located in the anterior pituitary gland responsible for the synthesis and pulsatile secretion of Growth Hormone (GH). Clinical interventions focused on this stimulation aim to restore the endogenous production and release of GH, which naturally declines with age, thereby supporting anabolic metabolism, tissue repair, and overall vitality.
