Study Notes

Classification of Hormones

Three main classes of hormones: Steroid, Protein, and Biogenic Amines.
Eicosanoids represent a fourth type of hormone.

Steroid Hormones

Derived from cholesterol, making them lipid soluble.
Ability to diffuse through cell membranes easily.
Examples include: aldosterone, progesterone, cortisone, corticosterone, and cortisol produced in the adrenal cortex.

Protein Hormones

Comprised of water-soluble chains of amino acids.
Categorized into three groups: Oligopeptides, Polypeptides, and Glycoproteins.
Examples include: oxytocin, ACTH, insulin, growth hormone, FSH, and LH.

Biogenic Amines

Water-soluble hormones synthesized from the amino acid tyrosine.
Notable examples are epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, T3, and T4.

Eicosanoids

Formed from fatty acids that originate from plasma membrane phospholipids.
Examples include: prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
