Hypothalamus:
  • Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH)
  • Growth Hormone-Inhibiting Hormone (GHIH or somatostatin)
  • Prolactin-Releasing Hormone (PRH)
  • Prolactin-Inhibiting Hormone (PIH or dopamine)
  • Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH)
  • Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)
  • Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
  • Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone (TRH)
  • * Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)... produced by hypothalamus; released by posterior pituitary
  • * Oxytocin... produced by hypothalamus; released by posterior pituitary
Anterior Pituitary:
  • Growth Hormone (GH)
  • Prolactin (PRL)
  • Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
  • Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)
  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
  • * Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH)... very low plasma levels in humans; hormonal activity appears insignificant
Posterior Pituitary:
  • * Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)... produced by hypothalamus; released by posterior pituitary
  • * Oxytocin... produced by hypothalamus; released by posterior pituitary
Thyroid Gland:
  • Thyroid Hormone
    • Triiodothyronine (T3)
    • Thyroxine (T4)
  • Calcitonin
Parathyroid Gland:
  • Parathyroid Hormone
Adrenal Medulla:
  • Epinephrine (Adrenaline)
  • Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline)
Adrenal Cortex:
  • Mineralocorticoids (e.g.: Aldosterone)
  • Glucocorticoids (e.g.: Cortisol (Hydrocortisone))
  • Adrenal androgens (Gonadocorticoids; e.g.: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA))
Pancreas:
  • Insulin
  • Glucagon
Thymus:
  • Thymosin
  • Thymopoietin
  • Thymic Factor (TF)
  • Thymic Humoral Factor (THF)
Pineal Gland:
  • Melatonin
Ovaries:
  • Estrogens (estradiol & estrone)
  • Progesterone
Testes:
  • Testosterone
