Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Gonadotropic hormone (GTH) and Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) are known as tropic hormones which stimulate the activities of the thyroid gland, gonads (testes and ovaries) and adrenal cortex respectively. Somatotropic hormone is responsible for the growth and development of the body and prolactin is a hormone that promotes production of milk in women.
