Non-Peptide Hormones Produced by Posterior Pituitary

The following points highlight the two categories of non-peptide hormones produced by posterior pituitary. The categories are: 1. Functions of Vasopressin 2. Functions of Oxytocin. Category # 1. Functions of Vasopressin: (1) Antidiuretic effect: In mammals, following a rise in plasma osmolarity, vaso­pressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) binds to V2 receptors on the basolateral plasma membrane of the distal tubules [...]

Peptide Hormones Produced by Anterior Pituitary| Biology

The following points highlight the three main categories of peptide hormones produced by anterior pituitary. The categories are:- 1. Pro-Opiomelanocortin Hormone Family 2. Somatomammotropins 3. Glycoprotein Hormones. Category # 1. Pro-Opiomelanocortin Hormone Family: Hormones of this family include: (a) Cor­ticotropin or adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) of the pars distalis, (b) Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) of pars inter­media, (c) Lipotropin (LPH), and [...]
