What is the difference between growth hormone and growth factors?
Growth hormone is actually in the same class of signaling proteins as growth factors. Researchers found that hGH uses the same unique signaling pathways characteristic of growth factors. Just one of more than 40 growth factors, hGH is a multi-potent signaling protein that differs in structure and biological function from all other growth factors. It specifically affects targeted organs to alter metabolism in favor of burning fat and building protein.
