Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a known stimulus for growth hormone secretion from the pituitary gland in the brain. This happens because the body is trying to increase the availability of glucose (fuel) for the brain and other organs by breaking down stored fats and proteins. Growth hormone helps to facilitate this process and maintain proper glucose levels in the body.
