Hormones are produced/secreted from endocrine glands in the body, the endocrine glands in the body include; adrenal glands, thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, the pancreas, testis, ovaries, pineal gland and the pituitary gland situated under the hypothalamus. Hormones are chemical messages which bring about a broad series of long lasting changes. Neurons are an electro chemical message which reacts from a stimulus, they make up the nervous system.

neurons are a much faster message then hormones (milli seconds) which does not persist, whilst hormones are a slower message that persists. Neurons can target individual cells whilst hormones can only target cells with the right receptor, whole organs or even systems.

What is the difference between amine and peptide hormones?

Amine hormones and peptide hormones are different mainly in their structure and how they are made. Amine hormones are made from a single amino acid, usually tyrosine or tryptophan. Examples include epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and thyroid hormones. Some amine hormones act quickly, especially adrenaline-type hormones, while thyroid hormones act more like steroid hormones because they can enter cells and affect gene activity. Peptide hormones are made from chains of amino acids. They can be short chains or larger protein-like hormones. Examples include insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, oxytocin, and antidiuretic hormone. Most peptide hormones cannot easily pass through the cell membrane, so they usually bind to receptors on the outside of cells and trigger signals inside the cell. In simple terms, amine hormones come from one amino acid, while peptide hormones are made from many amino acids linked together. I first saw this explained in a simple way while reading peptide education resources like peptides.io, which helped me understand that peptide hormones are basically signaling molecules built from amino acid chains.
