Explanation

Somatotropin (also called somatotropin) is the correct name for growth hormone, which is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration. Vasopressin is an antidiuretic hormone that regulates water balance. Secretin stimulates pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. Norepinephrine is a stress hormone and neurotransmitter, not a growth factor.
