aminoacidderivedhormone are modified to form the final hormone they are produced in various endocrine glands, including the thyroid and adrenal medulla
peptidehormone are composed of amino acid they are typically synthesized in the endocrine glands as larger precursor example insulin, growth hormone and oxytocin
steroidhormone are derived from cholesterol they are synthesized in the adrenal cortex or adrenal glands and the gonads
androgens are primarily produced by the testes with testosterone being the most well known androgens
testosterone stimulates the production of sperm cells through a process called spermatogenesis in the testes
progesterone is mainly synthesized in the ovary specifically by the corpus lutem after ovulation small amounts are present in male but in lower level
progesterone is essential for the preparation of the uterus for pregnancy
