    peptide hormone from the pituitary gland that stimulates growth

    Growth Hormone (GH), also known as Human Growth Hormone (HGH) or somatotropin, is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a crucial role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism by stimulating the liver to produce another hormone called insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which promotes the growth of bones and tissues. GH is also involved in regulating body composition, muscle and bone growth, and overall physical performance.
