Anterior lobe of pituitary gland has chromophobe and chromophil cells. The chromophil cells are of two types, acidophils and basophils depending upon whether they stain with acidic stain or basic stain.Prolactin is produced by acidophilic cells of anterior pituitary. It stimulates milk production in mammary glands.TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone), FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are secreted from basophilic cells of anterior pituitary.So, the correct answer is 'Prolactin'.
