FSH
Follicle Stimulating Hormone |
in AP
ovaries - stimulates development of eggs and follicles testes - stimulates production of sperm |
None
|
|
|
LH
Lutienizing Hormone |
in AP
females - stimulates ovulation and corpus luteum to secrete progesterone and estrogen males - stimulates interstitial cells of testes to secrete testosterone |
None
|
|
|
ACTH or corticotropin
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone |
secreted from AP in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus
corticotropin-releasing hormone is secreted in response to many types of stress stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete of corticosteroids that regulate glucose, fat & protein metabolism |
None
|
|
|
TSH
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone |
in AP
stimulates growth of gland and secretion of thyroid hormone (TH) |
None
|
|
|
PRL
Prolactin |
in AP
female - milk synthesis after delivery male - LH sensitivity, thus testosterone secretion |
None
|
|
|
GH or somatotropin
Growth Hormone |
in AP
promotes tissue growth Protein metabolism - stimulates protein anabolism increased amino acid uptake, increased protein synthesis decreased oxidation of proteins Fat metabolism - enhances the utilization of fat by stimulating triglyceride breakdown and oxidation in adipocytes Carbohydrate metabolism - one of a battery of hormones that serves to maintain blood glucose within a normal range often said to have anti-insulin activity, because it supresses the abilities of insulin to stimulate uptake of glucose in peripheral tissues and enhance glucose synthesis in the liver. Somewhat paradoxically, administration of growth hormone stimulates insulin secretion, leading to hyperinsulinemia. |
