  2. Erythropoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythropoiesis

    The secretion of hepcidin is inhibited by another hormone, erythroferrone, produced by erythroblasts in response to erythropoietin, and identified in 2014. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] It appears that this links erythropoietin-driven eyrthropoiesis with the iron mobilization needed for hemoglobin synthesis.

  3. Hypophyseal portal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypophyseal_portal_system

    Proper hormone secretion is crucial for the growth of the developing fetus.In order to allow a controlled hormone secretion in the developing organs of the fetus, stimulating hormones must be exchanged in the regulating structures in the brain in early stages of the development.

  4. List of human hormones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_hormones

    The following is a list of hormones found in Homo sapiens.Spelling is not uniform for many hormones. For example, current North American and international usage uses [citation needed] estrogen and gonadotropin, while British usage retains the Greek digraph in oestrogen and favours the earlier spelling gonadotrophin.

  5. Hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis - Wikipedia

    The distinct hormone profiles characterizing each phase represent two stable states, with sharp transitions between them ensuring proper timing of ovulation and endometrial preparation. As previously stated, during the follicular phase, estrogen and LH levels rise, and entry into the luteal phase does not occur unless a surge in these hormones ...

  6. Endocrine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_gland

    Endocrine disease is characterized by irregulated hormone release (a productive pituitary adenoma), inappropriate response to signalling (hypothyroidism), lack of a gland (diabetes mellitus type 1, diminished erythropoiesis in chronic kidney failure), or structural enlargement in a critical site such as the thyroid (toxic multinodular goitre).

  7. Hypothalamic–pituitary hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    · Somatostatin: inhibits GH (and other hormone) secretion · Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH): stimulates FSH and LH secretion · Prolactin releasing hormone (PRH): stimulates PRL secretion · Prolactin inhibiting hormone (dopamine): inhibits PRL secretion These hypothalamic hormones are secreted in pulse.

  8. Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

    Deiodination is controlled by numerous hormones and nerval signals including TSH, vasopressin and catecholamines. Both peripheral thyroid hormones (iodothyronines) inhibit thyrotropin secretion from the pituitary (negative feedback). Consequently, equilibrium concentrations for all hormones are attained.

  9. Adrenal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenal_gland

    The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol. [1] [2] They are found above the kidneys. Each gland has an outer cortex which produces steroid hormones and an inner medulla.
