Question
Chapter 42, Problem 3ITD
Summary Introduction
To review:
Whether there is any consistent relationship between the patterns of prolactin and growth hormone in plasma in the 24-hour period.
Introduction:
Lactation is the process of secretion of the milk from mammary glands. There are different hormones that influence this secretion, namely, the human placental lactogen, estrogen, prolactin, progesterone, oxytocin, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, growth hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone. The growth hormone also regulates cell regeneration and cell reproduction.

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

b) Hormones with a short half-life regulate slow functions
c) Fat-soluble hormones usually have a relatively long half-life
d) Fat-soluble hormone is rapidly broken down by enzymes in the blood circulation
e) Water-soluble hormones usually bind to plasma proteins (transport proteins)
