What are the direct metabolic effects of Growth Hormone and how might this complement the growth effects of Growth Hormone?

Growth Hormone (GH) directly stimulates metabolic processes by promoting protein synthesis, enhancing lipolysis (fat breakdown), and increasing blood glucose levels through gluconeogenesis. These metabolic effects contribute to muscle growth and fat reduction, thereby complementing GH's role in promoting linear growth and overall development. By fostering an anabolic environment, GH not only supports tissue growth but also ensures that energy availability is optimized for growth and repair.
