What is another word for growth hormone-releasing factor?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈə͡ʊθ hˈɔːmə͡ʊnɹɪlˈiːsɪŋ fˈaktə] (IPA) 
Growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRF) is a peptide hormone that stimulates the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland. Synonyms for GHRF include somatoliberin, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), and somatotropin-releasing hormone (SRH). These terms are often used interchangeably in the medical field to describe the same hormone responsible for promoting growth and development in the body. GHRF is produced by the hypothalamus and travels to the pituitary gland where it triggers the release of growth hormone. Its effects are essential for proper growth and development, and deficiencies in GHRF can lead to growth disorders and other health issues.
