25
melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
anterior pituitary
26
progesterone
ovaries
27
increases gene expression, breakdown of lipids, and release of fatty acids
growth
28
increases thyroid hormone secretion
TSH
29
increases secretion of glucocorticoid hormone, such as cortisol; increased skin pigmentations
ACTH
30
increases melanin production in melanocytes to make skin darker
MSH
31
promotes ovulation and progesterone production in ovary; supports synthesis for sperm cell production in testes
LH
32
promotes follicle maturation and estrogen secretion in ovary; sperm cell production in males
FSH
33
stimulates milk production
prolactin
34
conserves water; constricts blood vessels
ADH
35
increases uterine contractions; increases milk letdowns in mammary glands
oxytocin
36
increase metabolic rates
thyroxine, triiodothyronine
37
decreases rate of bone breakdown, prevents large increase in Ca levels
calcitonin
38
increases rate of bone breakdown, increases vitamin D synthesis
parathyroid
39
increases cardiac output; increases blood flor to skeletal muscles
epinephrine
40
increase rate of sodium transport into body; increase rate of potassium excretion
aldosterone
41
increase lipid and protein breakdown; increase glucose synthesis
glucocoticoids
42
increase female sexual drive; growth of pubic and axillary hair
adrenal androgens
43
increases uptake and use of glucose
insulin
44
increases breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose in circulatory system
glucagon
45
aids in sperm cell production; maintenance of repro organs and secondary characteristics
testosterone
46
aid in uterine and mammary gland development and functions; menstrual cycle
estrogen, progesterone
47
mediate inflammatory responses; increase uterine contractions and ovulation
prostaglandin
48
promotes immune system development and function
thymosin
49
inhibits secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, thereby inhibiting reproduction
melatonin
