General Hormone Functions Flashcards
PTH
Increases serum Ca
Decreases serum Pi
Calcitriol
Increases serum Ca
Increases serum Pi
[increases intestinal Ca absorption, increases bone mineralization]
Calcitonin
Decreases serum Ca
Decreases serum Pi
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone
Stimulates secretion of TSH and prolactin
Corticotropin releasing hormone
Stimulates secretion of ACTH
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
Stimulates secretion of LH and FSH
Growth hormone releasing hormone
Stimulates release of growth hormone
Somatostatin
Inhibits secretion of growth hormone
[aka somatotropin release inhibiting hormone)
Dopamine
Inhibits secretion of prolactin
Thyroid stimulating hormone
Stimulates synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones
Follicle stimulating hormone
Stimulates growth of ovarian follicles and estrogen secretion
Promotes sperm maturation in testes
Luteinizing hormone
Stimulates ovulation, formation of corpus luteum, and synthesis of estrogen and progesterone in ovary
Stimulates synthesis and secretion of testosterone (testes)
Growth hormone
Stimulates protein synthesis and overall growth
Prolactin
Stimulates milk production and breast development
ACTH
Stimulates synthesis and secretion of adrenal cortical hormones
