HGH Production Blockers
HGH “Blockers”
(called Somatostatin) increase with age - some research scientists
believe the problem of reduced HGH production with age is rooted
with somatostatin (HGH “blockers”), the natural inhibitor
(blocker) of HGH Human growth hormone. Somatostatin has been found
to increase in population as we age and may act to block the pituitary’s
release of HGH Human Growth Hormone at an increased rate of 1% to
2% per year.
When researchers eliminated
somatostatin production in old rats, they found growth hormone secretion
as great as those of young rats. This might indicate theoretically
the Pituitary Gland has a life long ability to produce any healthy
level of HGH we might desire.
Pituitary Gland Stimulators of HGH Decrease with Age
A second theory is that the precursor hormone, growth hormone-releasing
hormone (GH-RH), which stimulates hgh human growth hormone release
by the pituitary gland, becomes less sensitive to signals from the
hypothalamus. Hence, insufficient GH-RH is released resulting in
a decrease of growth hormone secretions over time and age. See:
HGH
Secretagogue
The Body Requires More HGH as we Age or the Body loses its
ability to utilize HGH as we age.
A third theory is that, not only does the growth hormone secreted
and available to receptors in our cells decrease with aging, but
that the cell receptors become more resistant and less responsive
to the human growth hormone released by the Pituitary Gland. Under
this theory, aging can be viewed as a disease of growth hormone
resistance within our cell receptors similar to the way in which
diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance.
