Which hormone is released during exercise?

Answer 1

The hormones that are released include:

Pituitary - antidiuretic hormone, oxytocin, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropin hormone, growth hormone, and prolactin

Thyroid - thyroxine, triiodothyronine and calcitonin

Parathyroids - parathyroid hormone

Adrenals - epinephrine, norepinephrine, mineralocorticoids, and glucocorticoids

Pancreas - insulin and glucagon

Among the hormones particularly crucial to exercise adaptations, both immediately and systemically, are:

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine (adrenal gland - more blood pumped per heartbeat, higher systolic blood pressure which, more vasodilation in active muscles, greater availability of fuel in the form of fats and carbs, and increased alertness)

Glucagon (pancreas - increases glucose levels in the blood for energy)

Cortisol (adrenal gland - makes fat available for use as fuel to preserve glucose in the cells and causes glucose to be made in the liver, serves the purpose of maintaining healthy blood glucose levels when exercising)

Growth Hormone (pituitary gland - makes fat available for use as fuel to preserve glucose in the cells and causes glucose to be made in the liver, serves the purpose of maintaining healthy blood glucose levels when exercising)

Testosterone (pituitary gland - increases with moderate to high amount of resistance training that involves short rest periods and large muscle groups)

Insulin (pancreas - reduces the amount of glucose that is used rather than stored)

Do you mean endorphines?
