Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

GH (growth hormone) and thyroxine are the hormones whose secretions increase during puberty, leading to tremendous gains in body size and to attainment of skeletal maturity. Melatonin is responsible for regulating sleep-wake cycles and not directly involved in growth, while adrenal androgens (such as testosterone) are also involved in puberty but not as key players as GH and thyroxine. Epinephrine is a hormone involved in the fight or flight response, and gastrin and insulin are involved in digestion and glucose metabolism, respectively, but not directly related to growth and puberty.
