Hormone | endocrine gland | cause of hormone release | Effects |
Growth hormone | anterior pituitary gland | a peptide hormone called ghrelin binds to the receptors on somatotrophs and it stimulates secretion of growth hormone | control metabolism and growth |
TSH | anterior pituitary gland | stimulated by thyrotrpin releasing hormone | metabolism of almost every tissue in the body |
prolactin | pituitary gland ( anterior) | ovulation, mating and eating | milk production |
LH | anterior pituitary gland | when gonadotropin releasing hormone stimulate the pituitary gland | manufacturing and secretion of estrogen |
ACTH | anterior pituitary gland | response to corticotropin releasing hormone | production of glucocorticoids |
FSH | pituitary gland | when gonadotropin releasing hormone stimulate pituitary gland | increase the production of oestradiol and inhibin |
ADH | hypothalamus and posterior pituitary | when osmo receptors sense osmolarity they stimulate and produce ADH | stimulate water absorption |
Oxytocin | hypothalamus | electrical activity of neurones in the hypothalamus | uterine contraction |
Epinephrine | adrenal gland | fear and anger | increase heart rate |
Aldosterone | adrenal gland | low level of sodium | sodium and water retention |
Cortisole | adrenal gland | stress | control blood sugar level |
Gonado corticoids | adrenal cortex | enzymatic conversations | Conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone |
Glucagon | pancreas | low blood glucose | regulate the level of glucose |
Insulin | pancreas | high blood glucose | regulate the level of glucose |
Melatonin | pineal gland | absence of light | sleep - wake cycle regulation |
Calcitonin | thyroid gland | When calcium in the blood increase | decrease level of calcium |
Renin | adrenal gland | blood pressure variation | increase in blod pressure |
Erythropoietin | kidney | hypoxemia | control RBC production and provide oxygen |
