Growth Hormone Physiology and Pathophysiology
This foundational topic delves into the normal physiology and pathophysiological disruptions of Growth Hormone (GH), essential knowledge for Zambian tertiary students in medicine, biomedical sciences, and endocrinology. It covers the synthesis and pulsatile secretion of GH by pituitary somatotrophs, its regulation by Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) and Somatostatin, and the central role of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) in mediating its anabolic and growth-promoting effects. The module contrasts normal GH dynamics with the pathological states of excess (acromegaly/gigantism) and deficiency. Understanding the hypothalamic-pituitary-GH-IGF-1 axis is crucial for biochemistry, physiology, and clinical endocrinology examinations, forming the basis for diagnosing and managing growth disorders and pituitary diseases encountered in clinical practice in Zambia and beyond.
