Types of hormones

  1. Anti-Müllerian hormone (developed the reproductive traks in male)

2. Anti-Müllerian hormone is a protein hormone which is important in the development of the reproductive tract in a male fetus and is also produced (before birth) by the testes and ovaries.

3. Angiotensin ( help in blood preshure )

4. Angiotensin is a protein hormone that causes blood vessels to become narrower. It helps to maintain blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.

5. Adrenaline (improve the immunity )

6. Adrenaline is a hormone released from the adrenal glands and its major action, together with noradrenaline, is to prepare the body for 'fight or flight'.

7. Adrenocorticotropic hormone ( balnce the glands)

8. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is made in the pituitary gland. It is needed for your adrenal glands to work properly and help your body react to stress. ACTH stimulates the release of another hormone called cortisol from the cortex (outer part) of the adrenal gland.

9. Aldosterone

10. Aldosterone is a steroid hormone. Its main role is to regulate salt and water in the body, thus having an effect on blood pressure.

11. Androstenedione

12. Androstenedione is a steroid hormone that has weak, androgenic actions on the body itself. However, it mainly acts as a stepping stone in the manufacture of testosterone and oestrogen within the body.

13. Angiotensin

14. Angiotensin is a protein hormone that causes blood vessels to become narrower. It helps to maintain blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.

15. Anti-diuretic hormone

16. Anti-diuretic hormone acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney

17. Anti-Müllerian hormone 

18. Anti-Müllerian hormone is a protein hormone which is important in the development of the reproductive tract in a male fetus and is also produced (before birth) by the testes and ovaries.

19. Calcitonin ( use for calcium balance)

20. Calcitonin is a hormone that is produced and released by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. Its biological function in humans is to have a relatively minor role in calcium balance.

21. Cholecystokinin ( hleps in digestions)

22. Cholecystokinin is a gut hormone released after a meal, which helps digestion and reduces appetite.

23. Corticotrophin-releasing hormone ( stress hormone)

24. Corticotrophin-releasing hormone is the main element that drives the body's response to stress. It is also present in diseases that cause inflammation. Too much or too little corticotrophin-releasing hormone can have a range of negative effects.

25. Cortisol (helps to metabolism and immunity)

26. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that regulates a wide range of processes throughout the body, including metabolism and the immune response. It also has a very important role in helping the body respond to stress.

27. Dehydroepiandrosterone 

28. Dehydroepiandrosterone is an important precursor hormone, and is the most abundant circulating steroid present in the human body. It has little biological effect on its own but has powerful effects when converted into other hormones such as sex steroids.

29. Dihydrotestosterone

30. Dihydrotestosterone, a hormone with powerful androgenic actions, causes the body to mature during puberty and is responsible for many of the physical characteristics associated with adult males.

31. Erythropoietin ( help in red blood cells production)

32. Erythropoietin is a hormone, produced mainly in the kidneys, which stimulates the production and maintenance of red blood cells.

33. Follicle stimulating hormone( ovaries fuction regGastrin 

34. Follicle stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. It regulates the functions of both the ovaries and testes. Lack or insufficiency of it can cause infertility or subfertility both in men and women.

35. Gastrin (gastric acid)

36. Gastrin is a hormone produced by the stomach, which stimulates the release of gastric acid.

37. Ghrelin

38. Ghrelin is produced by the stomach. Among its numerous functions, ghrelin increases appetite and stimulates the release of growth hormone.

39. Glucagon 

40. Glucagon is produced to maintain glucose levels in the bloodstream when fasting and to raise very low glucose levels.

41. Glucagon-like peptide 1

42. Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a hormone produced in the gut and released in response to food. It causes reduced appetite and the release of insulin.

43. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide

44. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide is a hormone produced by the small intestine in response to eating food. Its main action is to encourage the release of insulin into the bloodstream to control blood sugar levels.

45. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone

46. Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone is released from nerve cells in the brain. It controls the production of luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland.

47. Growth hormone

48. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. It has many functions including maintaining normal body structure and metabolism.

49. Growth hormone-releasing hormone

50. Growth hormone-releasing hormone stimulates the secretion of growth hormone, an important regulator of growth, metabolism and body structure.

51. Human chorionic gonadotrophin( pregnancy hormon

52. Human chorionic gonadotrophin is a reproductive hormone that is essential for establishing and maintaining early pregnancy

53. Insulin

54. Insulin is an essential hormone produced by the pancreas. Its main role is to control glucose levels in our bodies.

55. Kisspeptin

56. Kisspeptins are a family of proteins that are essential for fertility. The first gene member of the family was discovered in 1996 by a group working in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It is named after the city's chocolate 'Kisses', which are made in Hershey

57. Leptin ( body weight maintance)

58. Leptin is a hormone secreted from fat cells that helps to regulate body weight. The name leptin is derived from the Greek word 'leptos' meaning thin. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Fat Controller'.

59. Luteinising hormone reproduction controling hormon)

60. Luteinising hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and is one of the main hormones that control the reproductive system.

61. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone ( skin protection horomone)

62. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone describes a group of hormones produced by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and skin cells. It is important for protecting the skin from UV rays, development of pigmentation and control of appetite.

63. Melatonin

64. Melatonin is mainly produced by the pineal gland and, although it appears not to be essential for human physiology, it is known to have a range of different effects when taken as a medication.

65. Oestradiol

66. Oestradiol is a powerful reproductive hormone that has a wide range of actions in both men and women.

67. Oestriol

68. Oestriol is a hormone made during pregnancy that can be used to measure fetal health and predict when birth may happen.

69. Oestrone

70. Oestrone is a hormone produced by the ovaries. It is one of the major oestrogens in postmenopausal women.

71. Oxytocin

72. Oxytocin is a hormone that acts on organs in the body (including the breast and uterus) and as a chemical messenger in the brain, controlling key aspects of the reproductive system, including childbirth and lactation, and aspects of human behaviour.

73. Parathyroid hormone

74. Parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands and is the most important regulator of blood calcium levels.

75. Peptide YY

76. Peptide YY is a hormone made in the small intestine. It helps to reduce appetite and limit food intake.

77. Progesterone

78. Progesterone is a hormone released by the corpus luteum in the ovary. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. It may also be involved in the growth of certain cancers.

79. Prolactin

80. Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland, named because of its role in lactation. It also has other wide ranging functions in the body, from acting on the reproductive system to influencing behaviour and regulating the immune system.

81. Prostaglandins

82. The prostaglandins are a group of lipids made at sites of tissue damage or infection that are involved in dealing with injury and illness. They control processes such as inflammation, blood flow, the formation of blood clots and the induction of labour.

83. Relaxin

84. Relaxin is a hormone produced by the ovary and the placenta with important effects in the female reproductive system and during pregnancy. In preparation for childbirth, it relaxes the ligaments in the pelvis and softens and widens the cervix.

85. Somatostatin
