Which of the following statements concerning functions of the growth hormone (GH) is correct?

Growth hormone helps regulate normal growth and development, especially during childhood. Too little or too much GH can disrupt development and cause disorders such as growth failure or gigantism, so “Abnormal amounts of the growth hormone can lead to developmental issues” is correct. GH is released by the pituitary gland, not the adrenal glands, and it does not promote estrogen production as its main function.
