GH
(redirected from growth hormone test)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

growth hormone (GH)

 or somatotropin

Peptide 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). Excessive production causes gigantism, acromegaly, or other malformations; deficient production results in dwarfism, dramatically relieved if GH is given before puberty. Genetic engineering techniques now permit large-scale production of adequate amounts of GH for that purpose.
