Hormone Origin Target Effect
Insulin Beta cells of islets of langerhans in Pancreas Liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissues Lowers blood glucose level by converting excess glucose to glycogen.
Glucagon Alpha cells of islets of langerhans in pancreas Liver, adipose tissue Increase blood glucose level by converting glycogen to glucose.
Thymosin Thymus gland- epithelial cells of thymus White blood cells Necessary for T cell production and development.
Testosterone Testes Throughout the body. Functioning of male reproductive organs, growth, sexual development
Estrogen Ovaries Reproductive system Functioning of female reproductive system
Progesterone Ovaries Uterus, mammary glands pregnancy helping
Melatonin Pineal gland Brain Circadian rhythm regulation
Leptin Fat cels in adipose tissue. Hypothalamus Regulation of energy.
Atrial Natri uretic pepetide (ANP ) Cardiac muscle cells in the Heart Kidney Lower blood pressure, electrolyte homeostasis
Erythropoietin (EPO ) Kidney Bone marrow Red Blood cell /Erythrocyte production
Renin Juxtaglomerular cells or JG cells of kidney Liver Increase blood pressure
