Prostaglandins are the group of hormones referred to as tissue hormones.
Leptin is a hormone released by adipose tissue.
The specific tissue acted on by each hormone is referred to as the target tissue or target organ. Hormones are chemical messengers that travel through the bloodstream to interact with specific receptors on target tissues, triggering a physiological response. The effectiveness of a hormone depends on the presence of these receptors, which can vary between different tissues in the body. This selective action allows hormones to regulate various functions, such as growth, metabolism, and reproductive processes.
A tissue becomes a target tissue when it is affected or stimulated by a specific amino acid. The target tissue has the appropriate receptors to make it susceptible to the hormone.

The main primary target tissue of the Parathyroid hormone is the bone, but the kidneys are a target as well.
