Drip Drip Drip....
a: Pituitary gland ~
b: a faucet
What: "Your pituitary gland is like a faucet.
A certain hormone in your brain causes growth hormone to be released from the pituitary gland.
Growth hormone then turns on IGF.
It takes somatostatin to turn off the faucet and
stop the release of growth hormone.
When you have acromegaly, the faucet
doesn't always work right and tends to
leak too much growth hormone."
