It exerts its effects through two primary pathways: direct binding to the GH receptor (GHR) on target tissues producing immediate metabolic effects including lipolysis, insulin antagonism, and protein synthesis and indirect stimulation of IGF-1 production in the liver and peripheral tissues, which mediates the majority of GHs anabolic and growth-promoting effects
