Objective  To investigate the protective effects and the mechanism of recombinant human growth hormone on the intestinal barrier function. Methods  The literatures of recent years were reviewed and summarized. Results  The recombinant human growth hormone not only prevent mucosal cells and immunological cells from apoptosis, but also antagonize the damage of NO, cytokines, as well as endotoxin on intestinal barrier. What’s more, it increases the intestinal uptake and utilization of glutamine. All of the above could maintain the integrity and functions of the intestinal barrier. Conclusion  The recombinant human growth hormone protects the intestinal barrier function through different ways.
