Detailed explanation-1: -growth hormone (GH), also called somatotropin or human growth hormone, peptide hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It stimulates the growth of essentially all tissues of the body, including bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Growth hormone is produced by our brain’s pituitary gland and governs our height, bone length and muscle growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many hormones including growth hormone (GH), thyroid hormones, testosterone and glucocorticoids exert major effects on skeletal muscle growth and function. The stimulation of muscle protein anabolism and growth by GH has led to widespread expectation that it increases muscle strength and power.
