Solution
The correct option is C Somatotropic hormone
Growth hormone (GH), also called as somatotropin is a peptide hormone, secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of essentially all tissues of the body, including bone. GH is synthesized and secreted by anterior pituitary cells called as somatotrophs. GH stimulates protein synthesis and increases fat breakdown to provide the energy necessary for tissue growth.
