Growth hormone helps bone growth. Just sleep to get it. People who are deficient have lower muscle and get tired easily. Visit a doctor if you're deficient.

Testosterone and estrogen advance puberty and cause the closure of bones which means that you have stopped growing.

What is the effect of castration on hormone before puberty?

The male hormone testosterone is manufactured in the Testes. At puberty a boy's Testes begin to make testosterone as well as sperm. Castration is the name given to the removal of the Testes. It therefore follows that if a boy is castrated and his Testes are removed he will never be able to produce sperm or Testosterone and so will never actually experience puberty. In cases where an early puberty would limit growth, growth hormone can be administered as it will accelerate growth and to some extent suppress GnRH release in the hypothalamus.
