- adrenocorticotropin - (ACTH or corticotropin) anterior pituitary, peptide hormone
- antidiuretic hormone - (ADH) hypothalamus, peptide hormone
- atrial natriuretic factor - (ANP) heart, , peptide hormone
- corticosteroid binding globulin - (CBG) binds and transports glucocorticoids in the plasma. Globin is synthesised in the liver.
- growth hormone - (GH) pituitary, peptide hormone
- 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).

- lutenizing hormone - (LH) pituitary, protein hormone
- melaocyte stimulating hormone - (MSH) pituitary, peptide hormone
- 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)
