Posterior pituitary
Peptides secreted from the nerve endings of magnocellular neurosecretory cells in the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus
Anterior Pituitary
Peptide hormones synthesised in cells of the anterior pituitary gland.
- Growth hormone
- Thyroid stimulating hormone
- Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Prolactin
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Intermediate Lobe of pituitary gland
Peptide hormones synthesised in cells of the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland.
Thyroid
Parathyroid gland
Hypothalamus
Peptide releasing factors, secreted from neuroendocrine neurons into the hypothalamo-hypophysial portal vessels from the nerve endings of neurosecretory neurons.
- Somatostatin (from neurons of the periventricular nucleus)
- Growth hormone releasing horone(from neurons of the arcuate nucleus)
- Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH, also known as LH releasing hormone, LHRH)
- Corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH)(from neurons of the paraventricular nucleus)
- Thyrotrophin releasing hrmone (TRH)(from neurons of the paraventricular nucleus)
Also
- Dopamine, a prolactin inhibiting factor, secreted from neurons of the arcuate nucleus
Gonads
Steroid hormones produced by the testes or ovary
Adrenals
Steroids produced by the adrenal cortex
Catecholamines produced by chroafin cells of the adrenal medulla
- Epinephrine (also known as Adrenaline)
- Norepinephrine (also known as Noradrelaline)
Adipocytes
Gastrointestinal Tract
Liver
- Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
Heart and circulatory system
Reproductive issues
Pineal
indolamine, produced in the pineal gland
