Name for growth hormone?
somatotropin A protein hormone of the anterior lobe of the pituitary, produced by the acidophil cells, that promotes body growth, fat mobilization, and inhibition of glucose utilization; diabetogenic when present in excess; a deficiency of somatotropin is associated with a number of types of dwarfism (type III is an X-linked disorder). Syn: growth hormone, pituitary growth hormone, somatotropic hormone.
What four cell populations make up the endocrine pancreas Which hormone does each type of cell produce?

Is hypopituitarism a type of dwarfism?

What are hormones and how do they work could growth be manipulated?
Hormones are chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body. After being made in one part of the body, they travel to other parts of the body where they help control how cells and organs do their work. For example, insulin is a hormone that's made by the beta cells in the pancreas. When it's released into the blood, insulin helps regulate how the cells of the body use glucose (a type of sugar) for energy. Growth can be manipulated in a way that growth hormone implants are used for people with pituitary problems. Steroids are used to make muscles bigger.
Type of hormone secreting cell that secretes glucagon?
The alpha cells of the pancreas are the source of release glucagon.
