hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone
(LH)

produce IGF-1 (insulin-
like growth factor-1);
IGF-1 promotes bone
and muscle growth
Stimulates development
of mammary glands;
milk production
Stimulates growth
and maturation of
ovarian follicles
(females); stimulates
spermatogenesis
(males)
Induces ovulation and
stimulates estrogen
production (females);
stimulates testosterone
production (males)
Stimulates growth,
development, and
secretion of steroid
hormones from adrenal
cortex
Stimulates thyroid
hormone secretion from
the thyroid gland
Hormone Action
Increases water
retention by the kidneys
(maintains blood volume
and pressure)
Stimulates uterine
contractions; stimulates
milk ejection from
mammary glands
