What increases body size?

A special hormone is responsible for the growth of the human body – samotropin. It is secreted by the thyroid gland at a certain period of a person’s life. Until about 20 years of age, this hormone is actively secreted. Further, it ceases to stand out in large volumes and does not affect growth. Some children have trouble secreting this hormone and therefore do not grow. But doctors prescribe hormonal drugs that include samotropin. This is how children begin to grow normally. There is also the opposite problem, when the hormone is produced in much larger volumes. Therefore, drugs are prescribed that inhibit or block the production of samotropin.
