Quizplus · Accepted Answer

STH (somatotropin) is also known as growth hormone and it is responsible for stimulating the growth of long bones and skeletal muscles. It also has the ability to convert proteins to glucose in the liver, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), PRL (prolactin), and ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) do not have these functions.
