What does Thyroid-stimulating hormone do?

stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the two thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)

What does Adrenocorticotropic hormone do?

Stimulates secretion of glucocorticoids (mainly cortisol) by suprarenal cortex

What does Cortisol do?

Protein breakdown,

Glucose formation,

Lipolysis,

Resistance to stress,

Anti-inflammatory effects,

Depression of immune responses

What does Testosterone do?

Stimulates descent of testes before birth

regulates sperm production

promotes development and maintenance of male secondary sex characteristics

In men, they stimulate the testes to produce sperm and to secrete testosterone.

In women, they stimulate the ovaries to mature oocytes (eggs) and to secrete estrogens and progesterone.
