|
|
|
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
|
stimulates synthesis and release of thyroid hormones, growth, and function of thyroid gland
|
|
|
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
|
growth of adrenal cortex, stimulates secretion of corticosteroids
|
|
|
gonadotropic hormones
|
stimulate sex organ secretion, reproductive growth organ, reproductive processes
|
|
|
melanocyte-stimulating hormone
|
increase melanin production in melanocytes - makes skin darker
|
|
|
prolactin
|
stimulates milk production in lactating women, increase response of follicles to LH and FSH, unclear function in men
|
|
|
oxytocin
|
stimulates milk secretion, uterine contractililty

|
Triiodothyroxine (T3)
|
regulates metabolic rate of all cells and processes of cell growth/tissue differention
|
|
|
calcitonin
|
regulates calcium and phsophorous blood levels, decreases serum calcium levels
|
|
|
parathyroid hormone (PTH) or parathormone
|
regulates calcium and phosphorus blood levels, promotes bone demineralization and increases intestinal absorption of CA2+, increases serum calcium levels

mineralcorticoids
|
regulates sodium and potassium balance and thus water balance
|
|
|
insulin
|
promotes movement of glucose out of blood and into cells
|
|
|
amylin
|
decreased gastric motililty, decreased glucagon secretion, decreased endogenous glucose release from liver, increased satietyt
|
|
|
glucagon
|
stimulates glycogenolysis and glucogenesis
|
|
|
somatostatin
|
inhibits insulin and glucoagon secretion
|
|
|
pancreatic polypeptide
