Somatotropin Secretagogue Signaling

Meaning

Somatotropin Secretagogue Signaling is the molecular and physiological process involving the use of specific compounds, known as secretagogues, to stimulate the endogenous release of Somatotropin, or Growth Hormone (GH), from the pituitary gland. This clinical strategy aims to naturally enhance the body’s production of GH and its downstream mediator, IGF-1, to promote tissue repair, metabolic function, and lean body mass. It is a more physiological and often safer alternative to direct, exogenous GH administration.
