Which of the following hormones inhibits release of grow hormone? Correct Answer Somatostatin

Concept

Somatostatin  

  • It is secreted by the Pancreas in the Langerhans eyelids specifically by the pancreatic delta cells.
  • Cells releasing Somatostatin: delta cells of the islets of Langerhans
  • Effect of Somatostatin: In our body, in the Hypothalamus, it regulates the secretion of hormones.

Hypothalamus:

Secretion of hormones of Pituitary glands

1. Growth Hormone (GH)

2. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Pancreas:

1. Insulin

2. Glucagon

Explanation:

Growth Hormone (GH): It is also known as somatotropic/somatotropin hormone

Function of Growth Hormones:

1. Regulates Growth and Physical development.

2. Enhance Protein deposition

3. Enhance Fat utilisation and decreases Fat storage.

4. Increase insulin secretion.

5. Decrease glucose uptake in tissue.

Additional Information1. Dopamine: Chemical messenger involved in reward, motivation, attention, memory and regulates body movements.

2. Somatotropin: it is a growth hormone and Somatostatin inhibits Somatotropin.

3. Thyrotropin inhibiting hormone: These hormones control the body’s metabolic rate, Heart rate, heat generation.
