Which of These Hormones is NOT a Tropic Hormone

Question

Which of these hormones is NOT a tropic hormone
A)ACTH
B)ADH
C)ICSH
D)LH

Accepted Answer

ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone) is not a tropic hormone. It is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. Its main function is to regulate water balance and blood pressure in the body. The other options ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone), ICSH (Interstitial cell-stimulating hormone), and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are all tropic hormones, which stimulate other endocrine glands to release hormones. ACTH stimulates the adrenal cortex to release cortisol and other steroid hormones, ICSH stimulates the interstitial cells of the testes to produce testosterone, and LH stimulates the ovaries and testes to produce estrogen and testosterone, respectively.
