HYPOTHALAMUS | Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) | Stimulates secretion of TSH and prolactin | Peptide |
H |Corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) | Causes release of ACTH | Peptide |
H | Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) | Causes release of growth hormone | Peptide |
H | Growth hormone inhibitory hormone (GHIH)(somatostatin) | Inhibits release of growth hormone | Peptide |
H | Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) | Causes release of LH and FSH | Amine |
H | Dopamine or prolactin-inhibiting factor (PIF) |Inhibits release of prolactin | Amine |
Anterior pituitary | Growth hormone | Stimulates protein synthesis and overall growth of most cells and tissues | Peptide |
AP | Thyroid-stimulatinghormone (TSH) | Stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) | peptide |
AP | Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) | Stimulates synthesis and secretion ofadrenocortical hormones(cortisol,androgens and aldosterone) | Peptide |
AP | Prolactin | Promotes development of the female breasts and secretion of milk | Peptide |
AP | Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)| Causes growth of follicles in the ovaries and sperm maturation in sertoli cells of testes | Peptide |
AP | Luteinizing hormone (LH) | Stimulates testosterone synthesis in leydig cells of testes,stimulates ovulation formation of corpus luteum and estrogen and progesterone synthesis in ovaries | peptide |

GLAND/TISSUE | HORMONES | MAJOR FUCTIONS | CHEMICAL STRUCTURE |
Posterior pituitary| Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) (also called vasopressin) | Increases water reabsorption by the kidneys and causes vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure | Peptide |
PP | Oxytocin | Stimulatesmilk ejection from breasts and uterine contractions | Peptide |
Thyroid | Thyroxine (T) and triiodothyronine (T) | Increases the rates of chemical reactions in most cells thus increasing body...
