Parent topics
- Hormone [r]: A chemical director of biological activity that travels through some portion of the body as a messenger. [e]
- Peptide [r]: Compound containing two or more amino acids linked by a peptide bond, called dipeptide, tripeptide, etc., depending on the number of amino acids present. [e]
Subtopics
- Antimullerian hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (AMH, also mullerian inhibiting factor or hormone)
- Adiponectin [r]: Add brief definition or description (also Acrp30)
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone [r]: Hormone secreted by the corticotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland in response to physical or emotional stress. [e] (ACTH, also corticotropin)
- Angiotensinogen [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Angiotensin [r]: Oligopeptides which are important in the regulation of blood pressure (vasoconstriction) and fluid homeostasis via the renin-angiotensin system. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. [e]
- Atrial-natriuretic peptide [r]: Add brief definition or description (ANP, also atriopeptin)
- Calcitonin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Cholecystokinin [r]: Peptide hormone synthesised by L-cells in the mucosal epithelium of the duodenum, and secreted in response to the presence of partially digested lipids and proteins. [e] (CCK)
- Corticotropin-releasing hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (CRH)
- Erythropoietin [r]: A protein hormone produced by the kidneys in response to hypoxia; it is essential for normal development and maturation of red blood cells (RBC). [e] (EPO)
- Follicle-stimulating hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (FSH)
- Gastrin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Ghrelin [r]: A hormone produced by P/D1 cells lining the fundus of the human stomach that stimulate appetite. [e]
- Glucagon [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (GnRH)
- Growth hormone-releasing hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (GHRH)
- Human chorionic gonadotropin [r]: Add brief definition or description (hCG)
- Growth hormone [r]: A peptide hormone that is made in and secreted from the somatotroph cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and which is essential for regulating post-natal growth in all mammals. [e] (GH or hGH)
- Inhibin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Insulin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Insulin-like growth factor [r]: Add brief definition or description (IGF, also somatomedin)
- Leptin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Luteinising hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (LH)
- Melanocyte stimulating hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (MSH or α-MSH)
- Neuropeptide Y [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Oxytocin [r]: Add brief definition or description produced in the hypothalamus secreted from the posterior pituitary
- Parathyroid hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description(PTH)
- Prolactin [r]: Add brief definition or description (PRL), anterior pituitary
- Relaxin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Secretin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Somatostatin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Thrombopoietin [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (TSH)
- Thyrotropin-releasing hormone [r]: Add brief definition or description (TRH)
- Vasopressin [r]: Add brief definition or description(arginine vasopressin, AVP; formerly known as antidiuretic hormone, ADH), produced in the hypothalamus secreted from the posterior pituitary
