Hormone contains atoms of iodine
thyroid hormone
this hormone regulates metabolism rate, processes of cell growth, and tissue differentiation
thyroid hormone
this hormone regulates metabolism rate, processes of cell growth, and tissue differentiation and contains atoms of iodine
thyroid hormone
This calcium-regulating hormone is made in the thyroid gland
Calcitonin
hormone decreases the concentration of calcium in the blood
Calcitonin
this hormone is a chief glucocorticoid released by the adrenal gland
Cortisol
Disease: hypersecretion of ACTH (glucocorticoid hormone)
Cushing's syndrome
This hormone is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas
Glucagon
This hormone is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas and increases blood glucose concentration
Glucagon
Disease: hypersecretion of thyroid hormone
Graves' disease
Hormone is produced by beta cells of the pancreas
Insulin
Disease: hypersecrection of growth hormone GH (adults)
acromegaly
Stimulates the release of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
this hormone regulates how electrolytes are processed in the body
aldosterone
causes water retention
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
this calcium-regulating hormone is made in the thyroid gland and decreases the concentration of calcium in the blood
calcitonin
Disease: associated with insulin production
diabetes mellitus
stimulates development of ovarian follicle
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Disease: lack of iodine absorption
goiter
This hormone is made by a fetal tissue component of the placenta
human chorionic gonadotropin
this hormone lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood
insulin
stimulates testosterone production in males
luteinizing hormone (LH)
causes muscle contraction of the uterus
oxytocin (OT)
this hormone causes an increase in blood calcium levels
parathyroid hormone
Disease: Hyposecrection of adrenal cortex
Addison's disease
This is the only important mineralocorticoid hormone in humans
Aldosterone
This is the only important mineralocorticoid hormone in humans and regulates how electrolytes are processed in the body
Aldosterone
