Many factors influence bone growth, development, and repair. These factors include sunlight exposure, exercise, nutrition, and hormonal secretions. The thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, ovaries, testes and pituitary gland all secrete hormones for bone development and growth. The pituitary gland, often referred to as the "master gland," actually produces hormones that regulate and control other glands and their functions. Hormones are simply substances that are produced by organs and gland within the body. They are typically produced in very small quantities and then travel to a target site or organ for use. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone. Growth hormone's main function is facilitating the growth of bone and muscle tissue. As people age and become older, levels of hormone secretions decline. As this happens, it may begin to take longer for bones to heal and repair if incidents happen.
Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by porous bones. In osteoporosis, bone mineral density, or BMD is decreased. This happens as a result of an altered amount of non-collagenous proteins within the bone. This lack of new proteins within the bone structure slows down the bone's ability to reinforce itself. This results in fragile, porous bones that are highly susceptible to fractures and breaks. Individuals with osteoporosis may also experience severe pain from spinal fractures, which can lead to pain with movement and immobility. Osteoporosis is often found in postmenopausal women who have seen an abrupt decline of hormone secretion. Men can also develop osteoporosis, as well as some younger women who have yet to experience menopause. Individuals who have hormonal disorders or hormonal imbalances, or those who have chronic diseases, who smoke, or who have been on high doses of steroids for long periods of time may also be at increased risk for developing osteoporosis.
Around age 30, bones reach their peak in density and mass and begin to decline with time. All humans are at risk for some bone degeneration with age, and unfortunately there is no cure to stop this erosion from happening. However, there are ways to help slow down the process or prevent it from getting worse. Adding human growth hormone can be used to prevent and possibly slow down osteoporosis. Human growth hormone has been proven to help build up bone mineral density or BMD. Stabilized bone mineral density results in stabilized bone proteins, which supports and reinforces bone structure, making bones firmer but still flexible. Bone flexibility is an important key to preventing fractures. Firm bone structure reduces the risk of bones being easily broken. Bones tend to break much more easily when they are porous and brittle. For example, an elderly woman who endures a fall is much more likely to break a bone, such as a hipbone, than a much younger person who also has sustained a fall because the elderly woman's bones are typically much more porous and weak.
Growth hormone deficiency results in a bone mass decrease. For example, a child who is growth hormone deficient may be much smaller or shorter in nature because an insufficient amount of growth hormone is being produced by the pituitary gland. To treat this deficiency, human growth hormone is supplemented. Growth hormone works in much the same way when given to adults. As levels of growth hormone naturally decline with age, hormone supplementation may be needed to continue to stimulate bone formation and prevent bone loss. Breaking a bone is a painful experience. And unfortunately, for someone who has osteoporosis, the healing process may be much longer and much more painful.
In conclusion, human growth hormone is a crucial hormone needed for bone strength. Reintroducing growth hormone into the body and therefore increasing bone mineral density may be the first step in speeding up the healing time of bone breaks and fractures and possibly preventing them from happening in the future.
