Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH): Secretion of glucocorticoids Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH):Secrete thyroid hormones (Controls metabolism) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Growth of reproductive system Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Sex hormone production Growth Hormone (GH): Promotes growth Prolactin: Secretes estrogen/progesterone and stimulates mammary glands to push milk into ducts

What hormones target the gonads?
There are a few hormones that act on the gonads and they are different for both the male and female reproductive systems.In females, the gonads are the ovaries. The hormones include:Estrogen - This promotes the production of secondary sex characteristics and sex drive.Progesterone - This hormone helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy.Inhibin - This hormone inhibits the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone.In males, the gonads are the testes. Their corresponding hormones include:Testosterone - This stimulates spermatogenesis, growth, and maturation of sperm as well as the production of secondary sex characteristics.Inhibin - This hormone inhibits the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone.
What gland secrete hormones that control the activity of the other endocrine glands?
There are four: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) They are in the Anterior Pituitary
Where are LH and FSH produced?
Gonadotropic hormones FSH (Follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) are produced and secreted by the gonadotrophs in anterior pituitary. These are the trophic hormones that act on the ovaries and testes. Required for ovulation, spermatogenesis, biosynthesis of estrogens and androgens. They are also used therapeutically to promote fertility. Their secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus GRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone), where GRH stimulates the release of FSH and LH and FSH and LH feedback and decreases levels of GRH release. Estrogens and androgens also feedback and inhibit the gonadotrophs in the pituitary and feedback on the hypothalamus.
Can a bladder infection give you a false negative on a pregnancy test?
No, UTI or bladder infection cannot give positive pregnancy test results. The positivity of a pregnancy test is due to a reaction involving hCG, human chorionic gonadotropic hormone that is present in the urine and an antibody with indicator coated test strip. If the woman is pregnant, then hCG will be present. If she is not pregnant, hCG will not be prestent.
What is the desirable level of the gonadotropic FSH for a 76-yr old male who has received successful radiologic and chemical treatment for prostate cancer?
