Question
Will injecting growth hormones for children lead to weight gain?
Answer
Growth hormones not only help promote bone growth but also have a fat-reducing effect, and will not cause weight gain. Growth hormones are a type of peptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, composed of 191 amino acids. They are an important hormone that promotes growth after birth. The increase in a child’s height is mainly achieved through the cell division of cartilage plates between the epiphysis and diaphysis of long bones, and growth hormones have a significant promoting effect on this type of cartilage cell division and differentiation.
