⚫️#Melatonin – Think of melatonin as your biological
clock. This hormone is responsible for the way you feel throughout the
day as far as alertness is concerned. All those drowsy feelings? Blame
the melatonin.
🔴#Serotonin – This is the one you
can blame for PMS and your moody teenager. Serotonin controls your mood,

⚫️#Epinephrine – This is
one that you have most likely heard of; it’s also called adrenaline.
Among a whole list of other things, epinephrine is responsible for what
is known as the, "fight or flight" response. This is the hormone that
tells you when to fight and when it’s best to run. Some of the bodily
responses demonstrated when this hormone kicks in are dilated pupils,
increased heart rate, and tensing of the muscles.
Norepinephrine
– Also called noradrenaline, this hormone controls the heart and blood
pressure.
🎀#Norepinephrine also contributes to the control of sleep,
arousal, and emotions. Obvious effects take place when there is too much
or too little of this hormone. Too much gives you an anxious feeling
while too little can leave you feeling depressed or sedated.
🔴#Dopamine – This controls the heart rate and also assists in perception; deciphering what is real and what is not.
⚫️#Antimullerian Hormone – An inhibitor for the release of prolactin, the protein responsible mainly for lactation.
🔴#Adiponectin – This is a protein hormone, it regulates metabolic processes such as the regulation of glucose.
⚫️#Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
– This assists in synthesizing corticosteroids, which are responsible
for stress response, blood electrolyte levels, and other physiologic
systems.
🔴#Angiotensinogen – Responsible for the narrowing of blood vessels; a process known as vasoconstriction.
⚫️#Antidiuretic Hormone – This hormone is also known by other names, but it is mainly responsible for retaining water within the kidneys.
🔴#Atrial Natriuretic Peptide
– A peptide hormone secreted by the cells of the heart and other
muscles, it’s mostly involved with the control of water, sodium,
potassium, and fat within the body.
⚫️#Calcitonin – Aids in constructing bone and reducing blood calcium.
Cholecystokinin – Aids in the release of digestive enzymes for the pancreas and acts as an appetite suppressant.
⚫️#Corticotrophin-Releasing Hormone – Releases cortisol in response to stress.
🔴#Erythropoietin – Stimulates the production of erythrocytes, which are blood cells responsible for delivering oxygen.
⚫️#Follicle-Stimulating Hormone – Stimulates the follicles within the sex organs of both males and females.
Gastrin – Secretes gastric acid.
🔴#Ghrelin – Hunger stimulant as well as aiding in the secretion of the growth hormone.
⚫️#Glucagon – Helps to increase the blood glucose level.
🔴#Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone – As its name clearly implies, this hormone releases the growth hormone.
⚫️#Human Chorionic Gonadotropin – Keeps the immune system from attacking a forming embryo during pregnancy.
🔴#Growth Hormone – Helps to stimulate growth and the reproduction of cells.
🔴#Insulin – Responsible for several anabolic effects, primarily glucose intake.
⚫️#Insulin-Like Growth Factor – Has the same effects as insulin while also regulating the growth and development of cells.
🔴#Leptin – Slows down the appetite while simultaneously speeding up metabolism.
Luteinizing Hormone – Aids ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.
⚫️#Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone – Produce melanocytes, which are responsible for the pigment in skin and hair.
🔴#Orexin – Increases the appetite while also increasing your alertness and energy levels.
⚫️#Oxytocin – A hormone that plays a major role in reproduction, it aids in orgasm and is also responsible for the release of breast milk.
⚫️#Parathyroid Hormone – Among other functions, this hormone is mainly responsible for the activation of Vitamin D.
🔴#Prolactin – A major contributor in sexual satisfaction and the production of breast milk.
⚫️#Secretin – Inhibits gastric acid production.
🔴#Aldosterone – Mainly responsible for absorbing sodium in the kidneys to increase the volume of blood within the body.
⚫️#Testosterone –
The major male hormone, testosterone is responsible for sex drive,
development of the sex organs, and the changes that take place during
puberty.
🔴#Androstenedione – Essentially estrogen.
⚫️#Estradiol
– In males, this hormone is responsible for preventing what is
basically known as cell death of the germ cells. In females, this
hormone is in overdrive. Among other things, estradiol accelerates
height and metabolism, maintains the blood vessels and skin, aids in
water retention, and even aids in hormone-sensitive cancers.
🔴#Progesterone – A major contributor to the body’s support of pregnancy.
🔴#Lipotropin – Stimulates the production of pigment by aiding in melanin production.
⚫️#Brain natriuretic peptide – Aids in reducing blood pressure.
🔴#Histamine – A hormone based in the stomach, histamine aids in the secreting of gastric acid.
⚫️#Endothelin – Controls muscle contractions within the stomach.
🔴#Enkephalin – Simply a pain regulator.
These
are only examples of some of the hormones within the body; there are
more complex hormones whose functions are not easily understood. Our
bodies (when in proper working order) function like well-oiled machines,
and the hormones are a major part of nearly every process. Clearly,
hormones are responsible for much more than angry teens, squeaky voices,
and weepy pregnant women.
