The Battle Against Height: Growth Hormone Deficiency

March 22nd, 2010

For most children, it is common to hear that they are growing like weeds. You may have heard the phrase, or seen a child at least six inches bigger than they were the last time you saw them. However, for some children, the ability to grow at a normal rate may be slowed. This particular problem is linked to a growth hormone deficiency, causing the child to not have the ability to grow at a normal rate.

The growth hormone is an important part of everyone’s make-up in their body. The growth hormone is a specific protein that is in the body, located in the pituitary gland. The growth hormone is in charge of regulating the cells in the body that allow for balanced growth to occur in an individual. The growth hormone will move through the pituitary gland, then into the endocrine gland, which will then produce the proper hormones and cells to communicate to the body that it needs to grow. When there is a growth hormone deficiency, the hormone is unable to communicate to the specific cells, usually which link to one or more organs in the body.

Because there are so many hormones that are linked to the growth hormone, deficiencies of this communication can occur in a variety of ways. Growth deficiency is linked to one or more areas not receiving the initial communication from the pituitary hormone to keep reproducing. The result will be the inability to gain height, weight or other necessary growth functions.

“Growth deficiency is linked to one or more areas not receiving the initial communication from the pituitary hormone to keep reproducing.”

The first type of growth hormone deficiency is from the thyroid stimulating hormone. This particular growth hormone will link from the endocrine gland to the thyroid. Normally, the thyroid will communicate to the body, telling it that it needs to keep a regular metabolism and help to balance out growth. If this isn’t being communicated, the metabolism will move too slowly, or quickly, causing imbalanced regulation of the entire system.

Growth hormone deficiencies can also occur from the adrenocorticotropic hormone, or ACH. This is what tells the body to produce cortisol, which most are familiar with as the stress hormone. Typically, the body will tell the ACH hormone to produce too much cortisol, causing an imbalance in growth because of the need to regulate stress. The third type of hormone is the luteinizing hormone which regulates the sex glands and hormones. This is typically what will move a child into puberty and adolescence. Without the growth hormone communications to this area, a child will not make the necessary changes into becoming an adult.

Typically, growth hormone deficiencies can be found easily by measuring how the hormones are being distributed into the different areas of the body. Recent technology has found how to substitute these deficiencies with more balanced growth hormones, used to regulate the hormones in a child’s body. By changing the communication from the growth hormone into a regular and consistent movement of hormones, a healthy and regular way to grow can be maintained.
