One example is the thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH produced by the anterior pituitary and stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones. It is the thyroid hormones that actually causes metabolic changes in the human body, in this case to increase metabolic rate and body temperature.
The release of tropic hormones is controlled by a class of hypothalamic hormones called releasing hormones, produced in the hypothalamus. For example, Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone LHRH from the hypothalamus stimulates the release of LH from the anterior pituitary.
Thus, while the anterior pituitary controls hormone release in most somatic endocrine glands, the pituitary itself is controlled by the hypothalamus. Category : Anterior pituitary hormones.

Oestrogen also acts to strengthen bones and has a protective effect on the heart. Progesterone Ovaries Progesterone promotes the changes in the uterus that occur in preparation for the implantation of a fertilised ovum and prepares the breasts for milk production.
Testosterone Testes Testosterone is responsible for the characteristics of the masculine body, including hair growth on the face and body and muscle development. Testosterone is essential for the production of sperm and also acts to strengthen bones.

Stimulates the adrenal gland to produce a hormone called cortisol. Stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete its own hormone, which is called thyroxine.
Controls reproductive functioning and sexual characteristics. Stimulates the breasts to produce milk. Stimulates growth and repair. Controls the blood fluid and mineral levels in the body by affecting water retention by the kidneys. Cortisol has a number of functions. Thyroxine controls many body functions, including heart rate, temperature and metabolism. Oestrogen facilitates growth of the tissues of the sex organs and other tissues related to reproduction.
Progesterone promotes the changes in the uterus that occur in preparation for the implantation of a fertilised ovum and prepares the breasts for milk production.
