deposition?— Ans: leptin
IGF-1 is an acronym for?— Ans: insulin-like growth factor 1
In which endocrine gland is growth hormone produced?— Ans: anterior
pituitary
Which hypothalamic releasing hormone causes GH to be secreted?— Ans:
growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH)
Which hypothalamic inhibiting hormone causes GH NOT to be secreted?—
Ans: somatostatin
Which hormone, produced in the stomach, stimulates the secretion of growth
hormone?— Ans: ghrelin
cells that produce and secrete growth hormones are called?— Ans:
somatotropin
we know that the major role of growth hormone is its effect on growth.
however, even after cessation of somatic growth, GH exerts significant diverse
actions in adult life. What are these major metabolic effects?— Ans: increase
of protein synthesis
increase of fatty acid metabolism
, 2|Page
decrease if glucose utilization
Indirect effects of growth hormone are mediated primarily by ____________ a
hormone that is secreted from the ____________ and other tissues in response
to growth hormone. A majority of the growth promoting effects of growth
hormone is actually due to its hormone acting on its target cells.— Ans: IGF-1
