What Does GHRH Stand For?

GHRH stands for Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone

GHRH, or Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, is a peptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus that stimulates the release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in regulating growth, metabolism, and body composition by promoting cell growth and regeneration. GHRH functions through specific receptors, influencing various physiological processes, including protein synthesis and fat metabolism. Its levels can be affected by factors such as age, sleep, and nutrition, and its deficiency or dysregulation can lead to growth disorders and metabolic imbalances.
