˜ Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
˜ Responsible for the growth of the tissues of the
body.
˜ Acts on the metabolism of proteins, lipids &
carbohydrates.
˜ Aerobic exercise leads to gradual increase in its
level.
ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE
˜ Secreted by anterior pituitary gland.
˜ It acts on the adrenal cortex.

˜ Responsible for synthesis of glucocorticoids.

˜ It prolongs the action of glucocorticoids on the

tissues.
˜ Aerobic exercise leads to increase in its level.
PROLACTIN

˜ Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

˜ Prepares the mammary gland for the production
of milk.
˜ Aerobic exercise lowers the normal level of
prolactin.
OLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE
˜ Is responsible for the development of graffian
follicle in females.
˜ Stimulates the theca cells & causes secretion of
estrogen.
˜ Aerobic exercise lowers its level in females.
LUTEINIZING HORMONE
˜ Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
˜ Responsible for ovulation.

˜ Necessary for the formation of corpus luteum&

activates its secretory function.
˜ Aerobic exercise lowers its normal levels.
TESTOSTERONE
˜ Secreted by the testis in males.
˜ It accelerates the process of spermatogenesis in
males.
˜ Aerobic exercise leads to increase in its levels.
THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE
˜ Secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
˜ Necessary for the growth & secretory activity of
the thyroid gland.
˜ The effect of aerobic exercise on this hormone is
not known.
ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE
˜ Secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.
˜ It increases the water reabsorption in the distal
convoluted tubules thus reducing excessive loss of
water from the kidney.
˜ Aerobic exercise reduces its level.
OXYTOCIN
˜ Secreted by the post pituitary gland.
˜ Causes ejection of milk from the mammary
gland.
˜ Causes contraction of pregnant uterus &helps in
expulsion of fetus.
˜ Effect of aerobic exercise not known.
THYROID HORMONES
˜ Tetraiodothyronine(T4)& triiodothyronine(T3)
are the hormones of thyroid gland.
˜ These hormones affect the protein, fat,
carbohydrate metabolism.
˜ Affect the blood, growth & body weight.

˜ Aerobic exercise leads to increase in their level.

ALDOSTERONE
˜ Secreted by the adrenal cortex.
˜ Increases the reabsorbtion of sodium ions from
the DCT & collecting duct.
˜ Effect of aerobic exercise not known.
CORTISOL
˜ Secreted by the adrenal cortex.
˜ Withstands the stress & trauma in life.

˜ Aerobic exercise leads to increase in its levels.

ADRENAL MEDULLA HORMONES
˜ Epinephrine & nor epinephrine are the adrenal
medullary hormone.
˜ Stimulate the nervous system.

˜ Aerobic exercise lowers their levels.
