One of the main endocrine glands in the human body is the pituitary gland. This gland produces a variety of hormones with different effects. Among these are a heterogeneous group of hormones called tropic hormones, which directly stimulate the secretion of other hormones from downstream endocrine glands. Which of the following are tropic hormones? Select all that apply.
LH
Prolactin
Oxytocin
ACTH
TSH
testosterone
The primary reason for
downregulation/desentization of hormone
receptors is:
O metabolic clearance
prolonged exposure
abnormally high hormone levels
normal physiological levels
Which of the following has the broadest range of target organs (i.e can reach many different body regions) ?
progesterone
growth hormone
follicle stimulating hormone
prolactin releasing hormone

The investigators were interested in determining if the levels of these two hormones cycle over a 24-hour period. The Figure presents the results of their experiments, with the y axis values showing the amount of each hormone expressed as a percentage of the 24-hour mean value, and each point showing the average of the six subjects levels. FIGURE Mean concentrations of prolactin and growth hormone in plasma, averaged for six subjects and expressed as a percentage of the average concentrations measured for the 24-hour period. Do the results support the hypothesis that the changes in prolactin level over a 24-hour period are associated with the sleepwake cycle? Source: From J. F. Sassin et al. 1972.
