The other name for somatotropin is growth hormone (GH). It is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a vital role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism.
Somatotropin
This accounts for Growth Hormone Regulatory Hormone, also called Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, and also GRHF (for Growth Hormone Regulatory Factor). This is one of the two hypothalamic hormones (or previously named 'factors') that, respectively, stimulate or inhibit the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. The other hormone that inhibits the release of growth factor is called Growth Hormone Releasing-Inhibiting Hormone (or factor).
GH typically stands for Growth Hormone, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland to promote growth and development. GHI could stand for Growth Hormone Insensitivity, a condition where cells do not respond effectively to growth hormone, leading to impaired growth and development.
Growth hormone promotes growth by stimulating cell growth and division, while growth hormone releasing hormone triggers the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. By using both hormones together, a synergistic effect can be achieved to maximize growth-promoting benefits in children with short statures.
