growth hormone (GH)or somatotropinPeptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It promotes growth of bone and other body tissues by stimulating protein synthesis and fat breakdown (for energy).

Genetic engineering techniques now permit large-scale production of adequate amounts of GH for that purpose. GH (biochemistry)
