Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatostatin is a hormone that inhibits the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Therefore, increasing somatostatin secretion would inhibit growth. The other options (increasing prolactin secretion, increasing somatomedin secretion, and increasing thyroid hormone secretion) would not necessarily inhibit growth, and in fact, may play a role in promoting growth.
