The target gland for growth hormone (GH) are liver, chondrocyte (mature cell found in cartilage) and adipose cells (fat/lipid storing cells).
^ Someone else said this, but according to my anatomy book, "Although growth hormone stimulates most body cells to increase in size and divide, it's major target are the bones and skeletal muscles. Stimulation of the epiphyseal plate leads to long bone growth, and stimulation of skeletal muscles promotes increased muscle mass."
