Nanobiology and physiology of growth hormone secretion

Growth hormone (GH) secretion is controlled by hypothalamic releasing hormones from the median eminence together with hormones and neuropeptides produced by peripheral organs. Secretion of GH involves movement of secretory vesicles along microtubules, transient ‘docking’ with the porosome in the cell membrane and subsequent release of GH. Release of GH is stimulated by GH releasing hormone (GHRH) and inhibited by somatostatin (SRIF). Ghrelin may be functioning to stimulate GH release from somatotropes acting via the GH secretagogue (GHS) receptor (GHSR). However, recent physiological studies militate against this. In addition, ghrelin does influence GH release acting within the hypothalamus. Release of GH from the somatotropes involves the GH-containing secretory granules moving close to the cell surface followed by transitory fusion of the secretory granules with the porosomes located in multiple secretory pits in the cell membrane. Other peptides/proteins can influence GH secretion, particularly in species of non-mammalian vertebrates.
