    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
