Solution

The hormone essential for proper metabolic regulation among the options given is GH (Growth Hormone).

Here's why:

  1. LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) are both gonadotropins. They are primarily involved in the regulation of the reproductive system, not metabolism.

  2. PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) is involved in calcium homeostasis, which while important, is not the primary regulator of overall metabolism.

  3. GH (Growth Hormone) is a key regulator of metabolic processes, including protein synthesis, lipolysis, and the counter-regulation of insulin's effects, among others.

  4. Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid hormone that regulates sodium and potassium balance, not overall metabolism.

So, the answer is GH (Growth Hormone).
