  19. growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
    inhibits growth hormone
  20. dopamine
    inhibits prolactin and melanocyte stimulating hormone
  21. melatonin
    • alters reproductive activities
    • seasonal affective disorder and jet lag
    • production inhibited by exposure to sunlight
  22. human growth hormone (hGH)
    • aka somatotropin
    • increases blood glucose by inhibiting glucose catabolism and stimulating fat catabolism
    • stimulates protein synthesis and inhibits protein catabolism
    • stimulates growth of muscles, bones, tissues
  23. thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
    releases thyroid hormones
  24. adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
    releases adrenal cortex hormones
  25. follicle stimulating hormones (FSH)
    • stimulates sperm production
    • stimulates follicular development and estrogen production in ovaries
  26. luteinizing hormone (LH)
    • stimulates secretion of testosterone
    • stimulates estrogen production and ovulation
    • stimulates secretion of progesterone by corpus luteum
  27. prolactin
    stimulates milk production by the mammary glands
  28. melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)
    • stimulates melanin production
    • inhibited by dopamine
  29. oxytocin
    stimulation uterine contraction and milk ejection
  30. antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
    • causes reabsorption of water from renal tubules (increases BP, decreases urine output)
    • constricts arterioles (increases BP)
  31. triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
    increase metabolic rate, cardiac output, growth
  32. calcitonin
    • decreases calcium ion levels in the blood
    • accelerates calcium reabsorption in bones (inhibits osteoclasts)
  33. parathyroid hormone (PTH)
    • produced by principal cells
    • increases blood calcium levels (increases osteoclast activity)
    • increases calcium reabsorption in the kidneys
    • decreases blood phosphate levels
  34. glucagon
    • secreted by alpha cells
    • increases blood glucose levels
  35. insulin
    • secreted by beta cells
    • decreases blood glucose levels
  36. growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH)
    • secreted by delta cells
    • inhibits insulin, glucagon, hGH
  37. pancreatic polypeptide
    • secreted by F cells
    • regulates release of pancreatic enzymes
    • allows absorption in small intesting
  38. thymosin
    thymic humoral factor
    thymic factor
    thymopoietin
    control T cell maturation and selection
  39. mineralcorticoids
    control water and electrolyte balance
  40. aldosterone
    • mineralcorticoid
    • increases Na+ and water reabsorption in kidnye
    • increases K+ in kidney
  41. glucocorticoids
    regulate metabolism and response to stress
  42. cortisol
    • glucocorticoid
    • increases nutrient levels in blood
    • reduces stress
    • reduces inflammation
  43. gonadocorticoids
    • androgens and estrogens
    • post-menopause
  44. norepinephrine
    epinephrine
