    The false statement is: Growth hormone is produced by the posterior pituitary

    Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin is produced in the cells called somatotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. GH is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. Its function is involved in metabolic processes (favors anabolism or synthesis of macromolecules). Also, growth hormone stimulates production of IGF-1 and increases the levels of glucose and free fatty acids.
