Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although melanocyte-stimulating hormone is produced by the anterior pituitary gland, it is not considered a tropic hormone because it does not directly stimulate the secretion of another hormone by a target endocrine gland. Instead, it acts primarily on melanocytes in the skin, stimulating the production of melanin pigment.
