hormones
- Dopamine: Dopamine acts on areas of the brain to give you feelings of pleasure, satisfaction and motivation. Dopamine also has a role to play in controlling memory, mood, sleep, learning, concentration, movement and other body functions.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Triggers your thyroid to release its hormones, which mainly impact your body's metabolism.
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH): Stimulate your adrenal glands to release cortisol.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): Helps with ovulation — when an egg is released each month by the ovaries.
- Luteinizing hormone (LH): In both sexes, LH contributes to the maturation of primordial germ cells. In men, LH causes the Leydig cells of the testes to produce testosterone. In women, LH triggers the creation of steroid hormones from the ovaries.
- Serotonin: Mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire.
- Melatonin: Your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep. Being exposed to light at night can block melatonin production.
- N,N- dimethyltryptamine: Is a potent psychoplastogen, a compound capable of promoting rapid and sustained neuroplasticity that may have wide-ranging therapeutic benefit.
- Thyroxine (T4): Metabolism, heart and muscle function, brain development, and maintenance of bones.
- Triiodothyronine (T3): Helps maintain muscle control, brain function and development, heart and digestive functions.
- Parathyroid Hormone (PTH): Raises your blood calcium levels.
- Thymosin: Stimulate the production of T cells, which are an important part of the immune system.
- Thymopoietin: Affecting neuromuscular transmission, induction of early T cell differentiation and immune regulation.
- Thymulin: Stimulates the development of T cells within the thymus. The production of cytokines by mononuclear cells is also reduced by zinc deficiency.
- Insulin: Lowers the level of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood.
- Glucagon: Help regulate your blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low.
- Cortisol: Your body responds to stress or danger. increase your body's metabolism of glucose. control your blood pressure.
- Aldosterone: Helps control the balance of water and salts in the kidney by keeping sodium in and releasing potassium from the body.
- Adrenaline: Helps you react quickly if you are faced with an exciting, stressful or dangerous situation. This is known as the 'fight-or-flight response.
- Estrogen: Regulates the growth, development, and physiology of the human reproductive system.
- Progesterone: To prepare the endometrium (lining of your uterus) for a fertilized egg to implant and grow.
- Testosterone: Regulate sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength, and the production of red blood cells and sperm.
