adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, stimulates glucocorticoids (GCs) by adrenal gland

thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, triggers secretion thyroid hormones

growth hormone (GH)

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, stimulates tissue growth

prolactin (PRL)

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, stimulates mammary gland development and milk production

follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, is a gonadotropin, stimulates ovarian changes, egg/sperm development

luteinizing hormone LH/ interstitial cel stimulating hormone ICSH

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, gonadotropin, triggers ovulation, corpus luteum development, hormone production

melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH)

produced by adenohypophysis/anterior lobe, stimulates melanin production in stratum germinativum

oxytocin (OT)

produced by neurohypophysis/posterior lobe, stimulates smooth muscle for contractions during labor and breast feeding

antidiuretic hormone ADH

produced by neurohypophysis/posterior lobe, stimulates kidneys to reabsorb water into blood instead of urinating
