Growth Hormones and signaling devices – Why we need them. Growth Hormones at night.
A conversation with Stemulite co-creators, Dr. David Summers and Dr. Robert Shorr
Dr. Summers: Can you discuss the effects of growth hormones, like human growth hormone, insulin related growth hormones and how they function to produce the more energy, more strength or what their function is really, in the body?
Dr. Shorr: Growth Hormone is one of the most important hormones that is found inside our bodies.
Again, one of the miracles that we find within ourselves is that each part of our body has the ability to talk to another part and decisions actually get made about what our cells are going to do based on these signal interactions.
Growth Hormone is a hormone that is produced largely in the pituitary gland which is considered the master hormonal gland of the body and, along with other hormones, what it does is it controls the rate of our growth.
Children are who deficient in growth hormone will not grow to the full stature that they would otherwise have grown as dictated by their DNA.
Adults, as our growth hormone levels drop as a natural part of aging, that causes other signal transduction events to occur which actually promote our aging which is also part of the programming that’s within our DNA.
Dr. Summers: Do Growth Hormones function better, are they released better, during the sleep periods? Can you tell us a little bit about how and when the body releases these hormones?
Dr. Shorr: One of the things that science has discovered, although I think all of us have somewhat known, is that when we’re asleep that’s a time when things go on in our body that we might consider repair.
How often have we been told when we’ve been told when we’ve been ill, “Rest, you need your rest, stay in bed”?
What we find is that many of the discussions that occur between different parts of our bodies with hormones and other signaling molecules are linked to what’s called a circadian rhythm.
There are some things that are released more towards the morning as we arise and there are things that are released more as we are asleep.
So, for example, testosterone levels tend to peak earlier in the morning. On the other hand growth hormone tends to be released more at night. When children are treated with growth hormone for pituitary dwarfism or for a lack of growth hormone they are injected with growth hormones at evening time just before bed.
