Posterior pituitary
Peptides secreted from the nerve endings of magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus
- Oxytocin [r]: A mammalian hormone that is secreted into the bloodstream from the posterior pituitary gland, and which is also released into the brain where it has effects on social behaviors. [e]
- Vasopressin [r]: A hormone also called (arginine vasopressin, (AVP); formerly known as antidiuretic hormone, ADH), produced in the hypothalamus secreted from the posterior pituitary that causes kidneys to concentrate urine to conserve water, also causes vasoconstriction. [e]
Anterior Pituitary
Peptide hormones synthesised in cells of the anterior pituitary gland.
- Prolactin [r]: Hormone secreted from lactotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland with an essential role in lactation. [e]
- Growth hormone [r]: A peptide hormone that is made in and secreted from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and which is essential for regulating post-natal growth in all mammals. [e]
- Thyroid stimulating hormone [r]: Hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which stimulates production of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. [e]
- Follicle stimulating hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (FSH)
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone [r]: Hormone secreted from the anterior pituitary that regulates glucocorticoid secretion from the adrenal gland. [e] (ACTH)
- Luteinizing hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (LH)
Intermediate Lobe of pituitary gland
Peptide hormones synthesised in cells of the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland.
- Melanocyte stimulating hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Beta endorphin [r]: Add brief definition or description
Thyroid
Parathyroid gland
Hypothalamus
Peptide releasing factors, secreted from neuroendocrine neurons into the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal vessels from the nerve endings of neurosecretory neurons.
- Somatostatin (from neurons of the periventricular nucleus)
- Growth hormone releasing horone(from neurons of the arcuate nucleus)
- Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH, also known as LH releasing hormone, LHRH)
- Corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH)(from neurons of the paraventricular nucleus)
- Thyrotrophin releasing hrmone (TRH)(from neurons of the paraventricular nucleus)
Also
- Dopamine, a prolactin inhibiting factor, secreted from neurons of the arcuate nucleus
Gonads
Steroid hormones produced by the testes or ovary
- Estrogen [r]: A type or class of sex steroid hormone with an eighteen carbon atom base structure. [e]
- Progesterone [r]: A progestan steroid hormone vital to pregnancy and a precursor for some androgen and estrogen steroids. [e]
- Testosterone [r]: A steroid hormone, principal male sex hormone, and an anabolic steroid from the androgen group. [e]
Adrenals
Steroids produced by the adrenal cortex
- Cortisol [r]: Naturally-occurring glucocorticoid hormone which reduces inflammation. [e]
- Aldosterone [r]: Major mineralocorticoid steroid hormone that controls electrolytes, blood pressure and hydration. [e]
- Corticosterone [r]: Add brief definition or description
Catecholamines produced by chroafin cells of the adrenal medulla
- Epinephrine (also known as Adrenaline)
- Norepinephrine (also known as Noradrelaline)
Adipocytes
- Leptin [r]: Hormone secreted by adipocytes that regulates appetite. [e]
- Adiponectin [r]: Add brief definition or description
Gastrointestinal Tract
- Cholecystokinin (CCK), produced in the duodenum
- Gastrin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Ghrelin, produced in the stomach
- Glucagon [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Secretin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Insulin, produced in the pancreas
Kidney
Liver
- Insulin-like growth factor [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Angiotensin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Angiotensinogen [r]: Add brief definition or description
Heart and circulatory system
- Atrial natriuretic peptide [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Endothelin [r]: Add brief definition or description
Reproductive issues
- Relaxin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Inhibin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Prostaglandin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Human chorionic gonadotropin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Human placental lactogen [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Antimullerian hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description
Pineal
indolamine, produced in the pineal gland
