Introduction

Growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) is a secretory neurohormone that causes growth hormone to be released from the pituitary gland. It is naturally produced in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. The hormone is produced as a 44 amino acid peptide hormone, and first appears in the hypothalamus between 18 and 29 weeks of gestation, corresponding to the initial production of growth hormone by the fetus (Chawla 1983; Tuteja 2005)[1]. Growth hormone is required for normal fetal and post fetal development, including bone growth and the regulation of protein production and the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates.
