Study Notes
Growth Hormone (GH)
- GH stimulates growth and cell reproduction in the body
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Excessive TSH levels can lead to hyperthyroidism, causing symptoms such as weight loss, anxiety, and tremors
- Overproduction of TSH can also cause enlarged thyroid glands
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in Males
- LH stimulates testosterone production in the testes, leading to sperm production and development of male characteristics
Growth Hormone (GH) Deficiency
- Insufficient GH in childhood can lead to growth retardation and short stature
- In adults, GH deficiency can cause decreased muscle mass, bone density, and energy levels
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
- ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, a hormone essential for responding to stress
