Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is not a tropic hormone. Tropic hormones are hormones that stimulate the secretion of other hormones from endocrine glands. ADH, also known as vasopressin, is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland to regulate water balance in the body by reabsorbing water in the kidneys. It does not stimulate the secretion of other hormones from endocrine glands. The other choices are all examples of tropic hormones.
