$\bigstar$ Growth hormone (GH) :

• It is also known as Somatotropic hormone(STH). This hormone causes cells to grow and multiply by uptake of amino acids, accelerates protein synthesis and decreases the catabolism of proteins.
• This hormone is more effective in the presence of thyroxin.

$\bigstar$ Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH):

• In females, FSH stimulates growth and development of ovarian follicles.
• In males, FSH and androgens regulate spermatogenesis.

$\bigstar$ Luteinizing hormone (LH):

• In females, LH induces ovulation of Graafian follicles and maintains the corpus luteum formed from the remnants of Graafian follicle.
• In males, LH is called interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH). It stimulates interstitial cells to secrete testosterone.

$\bigstar$ Prolactin (PRL) :

• It regulates the growth of mammary glands and formation of milk in mammary glands.
