Key Points

  • The anterior pituitary gland produces the following hormones and releases them into the bloodstream:
    • Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates the adrenal glands to secrete steroid hormones, principally cortisol.
    • Growth hormone (STH), which regulates growth, metabolism, and body composition.
    • Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, also known as gonadotropins. They act on the ovaries or testes to stimulate sex hormone production, and egg and sperm maturity.
    • Prolactin, which stimulates milk production.
    • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete thyroid hormones.
    • Anti-diuretic hormone (also called vasopressin (ADH)), which controls water balance and blood pressure.
    • Oxytocin, which stimulates uterine contractions during labour and milk secretion during breastfeeding.
