Somatotropin Signaling

Meaning

Somatotropin Signaling refers to the complex endocrine pathway initiated by Somatotropin, or Growth Hormone (GH), which is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and mediates a wide range of anabolic and metabolic effects throughout the body. This signaling cascade is crucial for regulating body composition, stimulating tissue growth and repair, and modulating glucose and lipid metabolism. The integrity of this axis is a primary determinant of youthful vitality and functional capacity.
