A way to safely increase GLP-1 in humans

GLP-1 refers to "Glucagon-like peptide-1." It is a 30 amino acid long peptide hormone responsible for several functions in the body including the promotion of insulin production in a glucose-dependent manner. GLP-1 is also known to decrease a person's appetite by inhibiting gastric emptying, acid secretion and motility in the stomach. Other possible functions of GLP-1 include protective and regulatory effects in different tissues in the body including the heart, lungs, muscles, bones, kidneys, and several others.

Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such
Goryan [66]

Question: Which pituitary hormone causes liver cells to release somatomedins that increase the rate of uptake of amino acids by cells such as skeletal muscle fibers?

follicle-stimulating hormone

prolactin

thyroid-stimulating hormone

growth hormone

Answer:

growth hormone

Explanation:

Somatomedins are growth factors. The growth hormone makes the cells such as liver cells, skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to secrete the somatomedins. The somatomedins from the liver enter the bloodstream to reach the target cells. The somatomedins make the skeletal muscles, bones, etc. to absorb amino acids into the cells so as to facilitate protein synthesis. This growth factor also downregulates the breakdown of proteins. This is how growth hormone triggers the growth of muscles and soft tissues.
