  • TRH (Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone): Stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH and prolactin.
  • CRH (Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone): Triggers the release of ACTH, which stimulates the adrenal glands.
  • GHRH (Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone): Promotes the release of growth hormone (GH).
  • Dopamine: Regulates mood, movement, and inhibits prolactin secretion.
  • Somatostatin: Inhibits the release of GH and TSH.
  • Vasopressin (ADH): Regulates water balance by controlling kidney function.
  • Melatonin: Regulates sleep wake cycles.
  • GH (Growth Hormone): Stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and regeneration.
  • TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Stimulates the thyroid to produce T3 and T4.
  • ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone): Stimulates adrenal glands to produce cortisol.
  • FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): Regulates reproductive processes, including egg and sperm production.
  • MSH (Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone): Influences skin pigmentation.
  • LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Triggers ovulation and stimulates testosterone production.
  • Prolactin: Promotes milk production in females.
  • Oxytocin: Stimulates uterine contractions and milk ejection during breastfeeding.
  • Vasopressin (ADH): Helps regulate blood pressure and water retention.
  • T3 (Triiodothyronine) & T4 (Thyroxine): Regulate metabolism, growth, and energy levels.
  • Calcitonin: Lowers blood calcium levels by promoting bone absorption.
  • PTH (Parathyroid Hormone): Increases blood calcium levels by releasing calcium from bones.
  • Thymopoietin: Aids in T-cell development and immune function.
  • IGF (Insulin-like Growth Factor): Supports growth and development, particularly in response to GH.
  • THPO (Thrombopoietin): Regulates platelet production.
  • Gastrin: Stimulates acid secretion in the stomach for digestion.
  • Ghrelin: Signals hunger and stimulates appetite.
  • Histamine: Regulates stomach acid secretion and immune response.
  • Somatostatin: Inhibits the release of gastric and pancreatic hormones.
  • Neuropeptide Y: Increases appetite and food intake.
  • Insulin: Lowers blood sugar by promoting glucose uptake.
  • Glucagon: Raises blood sugar by stimulating glycogen breakdown.
  • Somatostatin: Inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion.
  • Androgens: Contribute to male characteristics and reproductive functions.
  • Glucocorticoids (e.g., Cortisol): Help manage stress, regulate metabolism, and suppress inflammation.
  • Adrenaline (Epinephrine): Increases heart rate and energy in response to stress.
  • Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine): Works with adrenaline to increase alertness and blood pressure.
  • Calcitriol (Active Vitamin D): Helps regulate calcium and phosphate levels for bone health.
  • Renin: Controls blood pressure by regulating fluid balance.
  • Erythropoietin: Stimulates red blood cell production.
  • Estrogens: Regulate female reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics.
  • Progesterone: Supports pregnancy and regulates menstrual cycles.
  • Androgens (e.g., Testosterone): Regulate male reproductive functions and secondary sexual characteristics.
