CHEMISTRY OF CHEMISTRY OF HORMONESHORMONES

• NonSteroidal:NonSteroidal:– AMINES (i.e. AMINES (i.e.

epinephrine)epinephrine)– PROTEINS (i.e. PROTEINS (i.e.

insulin)insulin)

• SteroidsSteroids– Made from Made from

cholesterol (i.e. cholesterol (i.e. cortisol)cortisol)

POSTERIOR PITUITARYPOSTERIOR PITUITARY

• 2 hormones:2 hormones:– Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)– OxytocinOxytocin

• Storage and release site!Storage and release site!– Hormones are produced by the Hormones are produced by the

hypothalamus & stored in the posterior hypothalamus & stored in the posterior pituitary until neededpituitary until needed

ANTERIOR PITUITARYANTERIOR PITUITARY

• 6 hormones6 hormones– Growth hormone (GH)Growth hormone (GH)– Thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH)Thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH)– Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)– ProlactinProlactin– Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)– Luteinizing hormone (LH)Luteinizing hormone (LH)

• Hormones are produced here, but Hormones are produced here, but their release is regulated by releasing their release is regulated by releasing hormones (from the hypothalamus)hormones (from the hypothalamus)

Function of Pituitary Function of Pituitary HormonesHormones

– Which then secretes thyroxine & T3Which then secretes thyroxine & T3• ACTH:ACTH:

– Which then secretesWhich then secretes cortisolcortisol..• Prolactin:Prolactin:• FSH and LH:FSH and LH: influence the secretion influence the secretion

of sex hormones and the of sex hormones and the development of egg or sperm.development of egg or sperm.
