hormones effects matching

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH)

make/release human Growth Hormone (hGH)

Growth Hormone Inhibiting Hormone (GHIH)

do NOT make/release BOTH human Growth Hormone (hGH)

AND Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

human Growth Hormone (hGH)

“Rest and

Repair” effects engendered do to unique second messenger molecules = Insulin-like Growth

Factors (IGF’s)

Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH)

make/release Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

signal Thyroid

gland to make and release the Thyroid Hormones (T3 and T4)

T3=Triiodothyronine and T4=Tetraiodothyronine

Set and maintain metabolic set point

controls metabolism

growth, control of many organ functions and many aspects of

reproduction.

Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH)

make/release BOTH Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) AND

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

in females formation of the follicle and in males increase sperm count

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

in females LH is the ovulation

“signal” or causes ovulation and forms the corpus luteum that makes estrogen as women age,

in men this causes more testosterone to be made

Prolactin Inhibiting Hormone (PIH)

Do not release = inhibit ,do NOT make Prolactin, in females this is produced when NOT

pregnant, men produce this their entire life (usually), do NOT make/release Melanocyte

Stimulating Hormone (MSH

Prolactin Releasing Hormone (PRH)

release and make more Prolactin

Prolactin

Begin or start lactation

Corticotroph Releasing Hormone (CRH)

make/release Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH) AND Melanocyte Stimulating
Hormone (MSH)

Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH)

Make cortisol

Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH)

Unknown

Oxytocin

uterine contractions increase as amount of oxytocin increases continues lactation once child is born postpartum= positive feedback loop

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)

conserve water; signals kidneys to retain not excrete water, stops sweating to stop losing water
and also raises blood pressure as a side effect of this water conservation

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

Raises blood calcium ,speeds up
osteoclast activity = more resorption, causes more osteoclasts to be formed, signals kidney to
preferentially retain Calcium and signals the Intestine to absorb more Calcium

Calcitonin (CT)

Lower blood calcium, slows down osteoclast
activity = more calcification, signals Kidney to allow Calcium in the urine as well as signaling the
Kidney to form vitamin D and signals the Intestine DO NOT absorb more Calcium

Melatonin

sets/maintain sleep/wake cycles also known as circadian
rhythms
