The synonymous relationship between the terms "somatotrophic" and "somatitropic" is not clearly established. In the first case, the suffix "trophic", means: of, relating to, or characterized by a specified kind of nutrition. In the second case, it means acting on something specified. Moreover, the prefix "tropic", from Grec origin, meaning a turning, in English means: affecting or attracted to something specified. 6, record 9, English, - growth%20hormone
