Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Growth hormone is the hormone that primarily induces protein synthesis and cell division. Estrogen plays a role in growth and development of certain tissues, but does not directly cause protein synthesis and cell division. Luteinizing hormone stimulates ovulation and production of progesterone and testosterone, but does not induce protein synthesis and cell division. Oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone primarily regulate water balance and uterine contractions, respectively, and do not induce protein synthesis and cell division.
