Hormone Stack

QuestionAnswer
hGH Human Growth Hormone: Pituitary gland: Promotes synthesis and secretion of small protein hormones
TSH Thyroid-stimulating Hormone: Pituitary gland: Stimulates the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by thyroid gland
FSH Follicle-stimulating hormone: Pituitary gland: In females,initiates development of eggs and induces secretion of estrogens by the ovaries; in males, stimulates testes to produce sperm
LH Luteinizing hormone: Pituitary gland: In females, stimulates secretion of estrogens and progesterone, ovulation, and formation of corpus luteum; in males, stimulates testes to produce testosterone
PRL Prolactin: Pituitary gland: In females, stimulates milk production by the mammary glands
Oxytocin Pituitary gland: Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle cells of uterus during childbirth; stimulates milk ejection from mammary glands
ADH Antidiuretic hormone: Pituitary gland: Conserves body water by decreasing urine output; decreased water loss through sweating; raises blood pressure by constricting (narrowing) arterioles
T3 & T4 triiodothyronine & thyroxine: Thyroid gland: Regulate the metabolism
Glucagon Pancreas: Increases blood glucose levels when they fall below normal, which provides neurons with glucose for ATP production
Insulin Pancreas: Helps glucose move into cells which lowers blood level when it is too high
Cortisol Adrenal Cortex: Assists in protein breakdown, glucose formation, breakdown of triglycerides, anti-inflammatory effects, and depression of immune responses
Epinephrine Adrenal medulla: Produces actions similar to those that result from sympathetic stimulation, also known as adrenaline
Norepinephrine Adrenal medulla: produces actions similar to those that result from sympathetic stimulation, also know as nonadrenaline
Estrogen Ovaries: In females, govern development of eggs, maintenance of female reproductive structures, and appearance of secondary sex characteristics;
Progesterone Ovaries: In females, helps prepare the endometrium of the uterus for implantation of a fertilized ovum and then mammary glands for milk secretion
