adrenocorticotropin - (ACTH or corticotropin) anterior pituitary, peptide hormone

calcitonin - (CT) C cells of thyroid, peptide hormone (More? Thyroid Development)

corticosteroid binding globulin - (CBG) binds and transports glucocorticoids in the plasma. Globin is synthesised in the liver.

dehydroepiandrosterone - (DHEA, androstenolone) The fetal adrenal cortex produces dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) used by the placenta to produce estrogens. Postnatally an abundant circulating steroid produced in the adrenal gland. DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone can be metabolized to epiandrosterone, and etiocholanolone. PMID 15635500]

follicle stimulating hormone - (FSH) pituitary, protein hormone (More? Pituitary Development)

human chorionic gonadotropin - (hCG) pancreas glycoprotein hormone with 2 subunits (alpha and beta joined non covalently). Similar in structure to luteinizing hormone (LH), hCG exists in multiple hormonal and non-endocrine agents (regular hCG, hyperglycosylated hCG and the free beta-subunit of hyperglycosylated hCG). PMID: 19171054 (More? Placenta Development)

parathyroid hormone - (PTH) parathyroid, peptide hormone (More? Parathyroid Development)

Rathke's pouch - The transient folding surface ectoderm from roof of the oral cavity that will form the anterior pituitary (hypophysis). in later development the connection with the oral cavity is lost. Named after Martin Heinrich Rathke (1793 – 1860) a German embryologist and anatomist. (More? Pituitary Development)

thyroid hormone - (TH) thyroid,amino acid derivative (More? Thyroid Development)

thyroid stimulating hormone - (TSH) pituitary, protein hormone (More? Pituitary Development)
