Hormones Released by the Pituitary Gland
Hormone Site of Action Effects
Oxytocin uterus stimulates contraction during labor
breast stimulates contraction to express milk
Antidiuretic hormone kidney stimulates retention of water
(ADH)
Anterior Pituitary
Corticotrophin
(adrenocorticotrophic adrenal cortex stimulates release of cortisol
hormone, ACTH)

Thyroid-stimulating thyroid stimulates release of thyroxine

hormone (TSH)
Growth hormone (GH) bone stimulates growth

Follicle-stimulating female ovaries stimulates follicle to mature an egg, estrogen

hormone (FSH) production

male testes stimulates sperm production

Luteinizing hormone (LH) female ovaries stimulates ovulation, progesterone production

male testes stimulates testosterone production

beta-Endorphin brain reduces pain
Vitamin A. Promotes the release of thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH), which helps in
weight loss.
Vitamin D. Promotes proper sexual
functionality through the pituitary gland.
Vitamin E. Helps protect the gland from
oxidative damage.
 The 2 main thyroid hormones are T3
(triiodothyronine)and T4 (thyroxine).
 T3 and T4 regulate your body's temperature,
metabolism and heart rate.
 The amount ofthyroid hormones secreted
is controlled by anotherhormone,
called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is
released from the pituitary gland in your brain.
 Oysters. Yum, an excuse to enjoy delish, briny oysters. ...
 Brazil Nuts. Speaking of selenium, brazil nuts are loaded
with it, and aren't you bored of almonds at this point? ...
 Seaweed. ...
 Greek Yogurt. ...
 Eggs. ...
 Berries. ...
 Spinach.
Monitor how much calcium and vitamin D
you get in your diet. ...
Drink plenty of fluids. ...
Exercise regularly. ...
Don't smoke. ...
Avoid calcium-raising drugs.
 Little Jayla was born without a thymus gland, meaning her body never developed
an immune system — a condition known as DiGeorge Syndrome. ... Generally,
children born without the thymus, which develops white blood cells to help fight
infections, rarely live past their second birthdays.
The endocrine component of the pancreas
consists of islet cells (islets of Langerhans)
that create and release important hormones
directly into the bloodstream.
Two of the main pancreatic hormones
are insulin, which acts to lower blood sugar,
and glucagon, which acts to raise blood
sugar.
 Drink clear liquids and eat bland foods until you
feel better. ...
 Eat a low-fat diet until your doctor says your pancreas is
healed.
 Do not drink alcohol. ...
 Be safe with medicines. ...
 If your doctor prescribed antibiotics, take them as
directed. ...
 Get extra rest until you feel better.
 Develop a sleep ritual and aim for at least 8 hours of
sleep per night.
 Remove foods from your diet that are taxing your
adrenals, namely sugar, processed carbs and junk
food.
 Reduce your coffee consumptions and drink more
water.
 Eat clean, whole foods and lots of greens.
 Gently wash your penis every day. ...
 After cleaning, gently pat dry the tip of your penis,
under the foreskin and the rest of your penis.
 Eating for healthy ovaries.
 A healthy diet can go a long way to helping your
body produce healthy eggs.
 Choose foods that are low in fats, sugar and salt.
 Processed foods, such as those that are smoked,
salted or otherwise preserved, should be avoided,
as they tend to be high in salt content.
 The endocrine system secretes hormones
into blood and other body fluids. These
chemicals are important for metabolism,
growth, water and mineral balance, and the
response to stress. Hormones provide
feedback to the brain to affect neural
processing. Reproductive hormones affect the
development of the nervous system.
