Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body. The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism , and reproduction. The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is released.

Types of female sex hormones. The two main female sex hormones are estrogen and progesterone. Although testosterone is considered a male hormone, females also produce and need a small amount of this, too.

Types and examples The four major naturally occurring estrogens in women are estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and estetrol (E4). Estradiol is the predominant estrogen during reproductive years both in terms of absolute serum levels as well as in terms of estrogenic activity.

Estrogen progesterone & testosterone. A woman's body makes different hormones throughout her life. The three major sex hormones made by the ovaries are the so-called “female” sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, and the so-called “male” sex hormone testosterone.

Through secretion of its hormones, the pituitary gland controls metabolism, growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, blood pressure and many other vital physical functions and processes.

The anterior pituitary gland produces six major hormones: (1) prolactin (PRL), (2) growth hormone (GH), (3) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), (4) luteinizing hormone (LH), (5) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and (6) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (Table 401e-1).

The anterior lobe of your pituitary gland is made up of several different types of cells that produce and release different types of hormones, including: Growth hormone. Growth hormone regulates growth and physical development. It can stimulate growth in almost all of your tissues.

Estrogen, or oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone. It is responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. There are three major endogenous estrogens in females that have estrogenic hormonal activity: estrone, estradiol, and estriol.

The three major sex hormones made by the ovaries are the so-called “female” sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, and the so-called “male” sex hormone testosterone. During reproductive years, these hormones prepare the body for pregnancy, but they also affect other aspects of the body, health and well-being.

Tropic Hormones: FSH & LH The four tropic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland are: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
