Hormones by secondary function

Adipose tissue (Leptin)

increases satiety signals to the brain

Adipose tissue (Resistin, Adiponectin)

enhance insulin action; reduce insulin resistance

Stomach (gastrin)

stimulates stomach emptying; mass movement + HCI secretion

stomach (ghrelin)

appetite enhancement

duodenum (secretin)

increases bile and pancreatic enzyme prod.

duodenum (cholecystokinin CCK)

relaxes bile/ pancreatic duct sphincters same as secretin

duodenum (GIP)

stimulates insulin release

Heart (atrial natriuretic peptide ANP)

inhibits secretion of aldosterone, decreases blood pressure

kidney (erythropoietin (EPO)

stimulates prod of red blood cells

kidney (renin)

secreted because of high blood pressure, tries to lower it

kidney (calcitrol)

aids in absorption of calcium in intestinal cells (active form of Vitamin D)

liver (insulin like growth factor 1)

stimulates body growth

liver (angiostensiongen)

raises blood pressure

liver (thrombopoietin)

stimulates the production of platelets

liver (hepcidin)

blocks the release of iron into body fluids

skeleton (osteocalcin)

increases insulin production

skin (cholecalciferol)

modified form of vitamin D (inactive form)
