Give your answer to this question below!
answer is 'A'
ReplyDeletePituitary gland produce & release human growth hormone.
hypothalamus produce & release Growth hormone-releasing hormone/somatocrinin and Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone/somatostatin.
Growth hormone-releasing hormone stimulates releasing Growth hormone.
stimulate producing of Growth hormone-releasing hormone is affected by many physiological stimulators (e.g., exercise, nutrition, sleep).
fasting is a Stimulator of hGH secretion. so low blood glucose level stimulate hCG secretion.
