-
T7 (just another way to write T3 & T4)
- Secreted by: Thyroid
- Target Tissue: ALL of them, ALL your life
- Action: too many to memorize, but some are as follows:
- Stimulates BIG TIME protein anabolism (synthesis); Important BIG TIME in growth; effect on Breast Tissue=won't lactate correctly without T7 & PRL; Stimulates Mitochondria for ATP (effects BMR); Stimulates gut to produce digestive juices so they can break down starches/glucose; Stimulates Pancreas to secrete more insulin to use on glucose; Increases rate of respiration to produce more O2 for ATP; Increases heart rate to increase blood flow to send O2 and stuff to organs; In Men: increased T7 decreases labido, decreased T7 causes Impotence; In Women: increased T7 causes Hypermenorrhea, decreased T7 causes Amenorrhea; Acute Stress causes decrease in T7, Ongoing Stress causes increase in T7.
- Effect on CNS: Hyperthyroid = cranky/insomnia
- Hypothyroid = "asleep at the wheel"
-
CALCITONIN (CT)
- Secreted by: Thyroid

-
GLUCAGON
- Secreted by: Alpha Cells of the Islets of Langerhans in Pancreas
- EXTRA: made of 29 Amino Acids
- Action: Stimulates liver GLYCOGENOLYSIS (glycogen==>glucose).
- After glycogenolysis, glucagon stimulates liver to secrete Glucose into the blood. (Liver is the ONLY tissue capable of this)

-
NOREPINEPHRINE (NOR or NE)
-
ALDOSTERONE
(Steroid Hormone)
- Secreted by: Adrenal Cortex (classified as a Mineralocorticoid, because it affects the metabolism of minerals)

-
CORTISOL (also HYDROCORTISONE)
-
ANDROGENS
(Steroid Hormone)
- Secreted by: Adrenal Cortex (both sexes)

- EXTRA: Similar to testosterone, but only 20% as powerful; Amount of adrenal androgens increases at puberty; Are Masculating Hormones.
- Pathology: Androgenital System(?)
- Does NOT occur in adult Males.
- Adult Females: excessive secretion may cause masculinization= clitoral enlargement, male hair patterns, voice changes, male pattern baldness.
- Female Children: excessive secretion may cause clitoral enlargement and other masculinizing characteristics.
- Female Fetus: excessive secretion during pregnancy (before week 12 gestation) causes Female Pseudohermaphroditism:a genetic female, female ovaries, male-like genitalia.
- Male Children: excessive secretion can cause precocious sexual development without development of testes.
-
TESTOSTERONE
- Secreted by: Testes
- Action: Masculinization, stimulates puberty in males- semenal tubules to produce sperm; normal labido in women.
- EXTRA: Is a STEROID
-

-
HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (hCG)
A PROTEIN
-
MELATONIN
- Secreted by: Pineal Body

- Possible actions:
- May have an effect on "biological clocks" (indogeonous rhythms).
- May control onset of puberty by inhibiting GnRF.
- Secretion is high at night, low in daylight.
- EXTRA: named because it lightens the skin of tadpoles (melanophores).
