TSH Stimulates growth of thyroid gland and secretion of its hormones Prolactin Stimulates production and secretion of milk Adrenocorticotropic hormone Stimulates secretion of hormones by adrenal cortex MSH Darkens skin pigmentation ADH Decreases water loss in urine returning water to the blood Oxytocin Stimulates uterine contractions and milk ejections during suckling Calcitonin Decreases blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclasts Parathyroid hormone Increases blood calcium level by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone matrix Aldosterone Decreases water and sodium loss in urine by returning sodium and water to the blood Cortisol Increases resistance to stress, increases blood glucose levels, and decreases inflammation
