Sort of.  When you have an infection, your white blood cells can release things called cytokines, which are small molecules that regulate immune function.  Some cytokines work extremely locally (like TNF-alpha, which causes local inflammation at the site of release), other cytokines act more globally (like IL-3, which stimulates precursor cells to turn into white blood cells in your bone marrow).  I guess you could technically call something like IL-3 a hormone, but most people prefer to call it a cytokine (since it is immune related).  When you talk about hormones, most people assume you're talking about the traditional endocrine hormones, like insulin, cortisol, ADH, etc.

Is produced an action verb or a linking verb?

"Produced" can function as both an action verb and a linking verb, depending on how it is used in a sentence. If it is used to show the action of creating, making, or manufacturing something, it is an action verb. If it is used to describe a state or condition, connecting the subject to a subject complement, it is a linking verb. For example, "He produced a new movie" (action verb) and "The machine is produced in Japan" (linking verb).
