Major action of somatostatin
Inhibit GH and TSH
Major action of the androgens (Testosterone)
Affect the development of male sex organs and secondary sex characteristics; aid in sperm production
Major action of progesterone
Influence menstural cycle; stmulate growth of uterine wall; maintain pregnancy
Major action of estrogen
Affect development of female sex organs and secondary sex characteristics
Major action of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D
Stimulate calcium absorption from the intestine
Major action of somatostatin
Delays intestinal absorption of glucose
Major action of glucagon
Increase blood glucose concentration by stimulating glycogenolysis and glycogenisis
Major action of insulin
lowers blood glucose by facilitating transport across cell membranes of muscle, liver and adipose tissue
Major action of parathyroid hormone
Regulate serum calcium
Major action of calcitonin
Lowers blood calcium and phosphate levels
Major action of thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4)
Increase metabolic rate; increase protien and bone turnover; increase responsiveness to catecholamines; necessary for fetal and infant growth and development
major action of epinephrine and norepinephrine
Serve as neurotransmitters for the sympathetic nervous system
Major action of adrenal androgens, mainly DHEA and androstenedione
Have minimal intrinsic adrogenic activity; they are converted to testosterone and dihytestosterone in the periphery
Major action of glucocorticoid (cortisol)
Affects metabolism of all nutrients; regulates blood glucose levels; affects growth; has antiinflammatory action; decreases the effects of stress

Female: stimulate development of corpus luteum, release of oocyte, production of estrogen and progesterone
Male: stimulate secretion of testosterone, development of interstitial tissue of testes
Major action of follicle stimulating hormone
Female: stimulates growth of ovarian follicle
Male: stimulates sperm production
Major action of thyroid stimulating hormone
stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone
