Table 3.2 Most important hormones in humans.
Hormone | Hormone gland | Target | Activity/function |
---|---|---|---|
Releasing hormones (P) | Hypothalamus | Adenohypophysis | Regulate release of hormones from adenohypophysis |
Inhibitory hormones (P) | Hypothalamus | Adenohypophysis | Regulate release of hormones from adenohypophysis |
Oxytocin (P) | Hypothalamus | Uterus, mammary gland | Stored and released from neurohypophysis; stimulates uterus contractions, milk secretion, love, and empathy |
Thyreotropin (GP) | Adenohypophysis | Thyroid | Stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroxin |
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (P) | Adenohypophysis | Adrenal cortex | Stimulates secretion of hormones of adrenal cortex |
Luteinizing hormone (LH) (GP) | Adenohypophysis | Gonads | Stimulates secretion of sex hormones from ovary and testes |
Follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) (GP) | Adenohypophysis | Gonads | Stimulates development of egg and sperm cells |
Somatotropin (hGH) (P) | Adenohypophysis | Bones, liver, muscles | Stimulates protein synthesis and growth |
Prolactin (P) | Adenohypophysis | Mammary | Stimulates milk production |
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) (GP) | Adenohypophysis | Melanocytes | Regulates pigmentation of skin |
Endorphins, enkephalins (P) | Adenohypophysis | Neurons of spinal cord | Analgesic properties |
Adiuretin (ADH, vasopressin) (P) | Neurohypophysis | Kidneys | Stimulates water reabsorption and increases blood pressure |
Melatonin (AA) | Epiphysis | Hypothalamus | Regulates biological rhythms (e.g. day/night rhythm) |
Thyroxin (AA) | Thyroid | Many tissues | General stimulant of metabolism |
Calcitonin (P) | Thyroid | Bones | Stimulates bone formation, lowers Ca2+ levels in blood |
Parathormone (P) | Parathyroid | Bones | Stimulates bone absorption, increases Ca2+ levels in blood |
Thymosins (P) | Thymus | Leukocytes | Activates T‐cell activity |
Glucagon (P) | Pancreas | Liver | Stimulates glycogen breakdown, increases blood sugar levels |
Somatostatin (P) | Pancreas | Pancreas | Inhibits release of glucagon, insulin, and digestive enzymes |
Insulin (P) | Pancreas | Liver, muscles | Stimulates uptake of glucose and glycogen formation |
Gastrin (P) | Stomach | Stomach | Stimulates release of digestive juices, enhances motility of stomach |
Secretin (P) | Duodenum | Pancreas, stomach, gall bladder | Regulates digestion processes, induces contraction of gall bladder |
Adrenaline/noradrenaline (AA) | Adrenal medulla | Heart, liver, blood vessels | Stimulates glycogen breakdown; stimulate heart, circulation, and blood pressure |
Cortisol (glucocorticoid) (S) | Adrenal cortex | Muscles, many tissues | Regulates stress reactions, stimulates metabolism of proteins and lipids, undergoes gluconeogenesis, inhibits inflammatory reactions |
Aldosterone (mineral corticoid) (S) | Adrenal cortex | Kidneys | Stimulates excretion of K+ and ammonium ions and Na+ reabsorption |
Estrogen (S) | Ovary | Mammary, uterus | Regulates development and function of female sexual characters and sexual behavior |
Progesterone (gestagen) (S) | Ovary (corpus luteum) | Uterus | Important for pregnancy and embryonic development |
Testosterone (S) | Testes | Diverse tissues |
Regulates formation of sperm cells, development and function of male sexual characters and sexual behavior; can enhance aggressiveness
