|
Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG)
|
glycoprotein hormone produced in pregnancy that is made by the developing embryo after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta)
|
|
|
Gastrin
|
released by G cells in the stomach, duodenum, and the pancreas stimulated by peptides in the lumen of the stomach.
|
stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility
|
|
Secretin
|
produced in the S cells of the duodenum in the crypts of Lieberkühn
|
increases watery bicarbonate solution from pancreatic duct epithelium. counteracts blood glucose concentration spikes by triggering increased insulin release from pancreas, following oral glucose intake
|
|
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH), or atriopeptin
|
powerful vasodilator, and a protein (polypeptide) hormone secreted by heart muscle cells
|
homeostatic control of body water, sodium, potassium and fat (adipose tissue). It is released by muscle cells in the upper chambers (atria) of the heart (atrial myocytes), in response to high blood pressure. ANP acts to reduce the water, sodium and adipose loads on the circulatory system, thereby reducing blood pressure
|
|
Renin angiotensinogenase
|
enzyme that participates in the body's renin-angiotensin system (RAS) that mediates extracellular volume (i.e., that of the blood plasma, lymph and interstitial fluid), and arterial vasoconstriction. Thus, it regulates the body's mean arterial blood pressure.

|
|
Erythropoietin, or its alternatives erythropoetin or erithropoyetin
|
produced by the peritubular capillary endothelial cells in the kidney and liver, it is the hormone that regulates red blood cell production
|
EPO, is a glycoprotein hormone that controls erythropoiesis, or red blood cell production. It is a cytokine for erythrocyte (red blood cell) precursors in the bone marrow.
