A

cells

53
Q

What are the 4 jobs of growth hormones?

A

  4. stimulation of immune system
54
Q

What 2 common hormones are NOT important in fetal development and only appear after you are born?

A

GH and T3

55
Q

What type of hormone is GH?

A

protein/peptide hormone

56

somatotroph

57
Q

Hypothalamic releasing hormones trigger __________ _________ systems in target cells which includes Ca2+, cAMP, and PKC

A

second messenger

58
Q

What are the 2 stimuli for GH secretion?

A

exercise and sleep

  • mainly sleep
59
Q

Why does GH increase during exercise and sleep?

A

GH increases blood glucose so its release during these “fasting conditions”

60
Q

Why can GH interact with PRL and hCS receptors?

A

they all share similar structure

61
Q

Does GH increase or decrease blood glucose?

A

increase

62
Q

In the muscle, what is GH’s affect on amino acid uptake?

63
Q

In the muscle, what is GH’s affect on protein synthesis?

A

increased protein synthesis

64
