Explanation / Answer

Lipid metabolism: Growth hormone promotes the use of breakdown of triglycerides and oxidation in cells.

Protien metabolism: GH enhance to takeup of aminoacids and protien synthesis.

Carbohydrate metabolism: It is involved in the regulation of blood glucose. And also increases gluconeogenesis in the liver.

2) Question Answer c) Thyroid releasing hormone

3) Question answer a) Insulin
