neuropeptide Y (NPY)/agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons. The melanocortin α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH‚ a biologically active peptide produced in POMC neurons) serves as an agonist‚ whereas AgRP is an inverse agonist at the anorectic melanocortin receptors (MC3R and MC4R) in the central nervous system. NPY elicits its physiological effects via differential activity at the G-protein coupled NPY receptors (NPY1R‚ NPY2R‚ NPY4R‚ and NPY5R) independent of melanocortin receptors [11]. Notably

The Effects of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) In Enhancing Performance and Side Effects of Its Prolonged Use Human growth hormone (HGH) is produced by the pituitary gland within the body. One of its main functions is to increase growth in children and adolescents as they get older. HGH also helps regulate body composition‚ body fluids‚ muscle and bone growth‚ sugar and fat metabolism‚ and in some aspects‚ heart function. Human growth hormone can also be produced synthetically.
