Question
Write short notes on STH.
Answer
STH (Somatotropin or Growth Hormone) is a protein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It is essential for normal growth and development of bones, muscles, and other tissues in the body. STH stimulates the production and release of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) from the liver and other tissues, which is responsible for the growth-promoting effects of STH.
