Removed "on time hormone"

edit

I removed the "on-time hormone" from the list, because the reference was from a forum, and a Google Scholar didn't give any relevant studies on this purported hormone. More evidence of existence is needed before reinsertion. Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:16, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Problem with the actions of the Somatostatin

edit

Somatostatin inhibits GH and TSH, not TRH as shown in the list since it acts over the anterior pituitary and not in the hypotalamus itself — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.214.86.227 (talk) 02:22, 11 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Amylin not included?

edit

Amylin is a peptide hormone produced in the islet cells and its not in the list, is it okay to add it?
Others: Galanin a neurohormone also secreted by enteric neurons can be added (neurohormone but other neurohormones are listed). Motilin is mentioned but only in relation to somatostatin. U1012738 (talk) 13:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I think so. My very best wishes (talk) 06:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
  Done (+ Amylin + Galanin + Motilin) Boghog (talk) 09:45, 2 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion

edit

Split peptide and steroid hormones into two separate Tables and remove 1st column. My very best wishes (talk) 06:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Great work! Unfortunately I do not have a lot of time right now. My very best wishes (talk) 01:54, 3 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thyroid Hormones???? Where are T3/T4 (and others). They are not peptide or steroid, but the introductory line says this is a list of ALL hormones in Homo Sapiens....that should be changed to "all peptide and steroid hormones" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.209.27 (talk) 22:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Done A new amino acid table has been added to which melatonin and the thyroid hormones have been added. Boghog (talk) 14:06, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

amphiregulin?

Incomplete article

edit

We should complete the charts of the human hormones, shouldn't we? Thanks.--190.173.4.197 (talk) 06:10, 16 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Where are the catecholamines?

edit

Epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.187.18.234 (talk) 16:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Also missing are thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine, vasoactive intestinal peptide, melatonin, calcitriol, cholecalciferol, and hepcidin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.187.18.234 (talk) 19:29, 9 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Melatonin and the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 have now been added. Calcitriol cholecalciferol were added a long time ago (see last two entries in the last table). The catecholamines such as epinephrine, etc. are classified as neurotransmitters, not hormones. Hepcidin and vasoactive intestinal peptide should be added. Boghog (talk) 14:04, 17 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
  Done Hepcidin and vasoactive intestinal peptide now added. Boghog (talk) 19:53, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Epinephrine is a neurotransmitter and a hormone... so it should be on the list I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.104.72 (talk) 01:50, 14 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Done Epinephrine has significant distant effects from the adrenal glands where it is synthesized and therefore it is legitimately classified an hormone. Epinephrine has now been added to the table. The rest of the catecholamines such norepinephrine appear to act primarily as neurotransmitters and therefore have not been added to the table. Boghog (talk) 09:29, 14 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

They're all gone again. This ought not be either-or. If it is at all a hormone, it should be on the list. They can be on both lists. 199.52.13.133 (talk) 17:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Amino acid section and table is misguided for an article titled List of Human Hormones

edit

I apologize if I am missing something important here. I was shocked to see a list of all 20 amino acids on this page. I am guessing that someone confused the concept "amino acid derived hormone" with "amino acids". The amino acid derived hormone include those that are synthesized by modifications to up to a few amino acids, peptides, and true proteins. This article includes true protein hormones in the peptide table. I don't have a problem with this as the differentiation between a peptide and protein is that a protein has a folded 3-dimensional structure associated with it's active form that is required for function and a peptide is functional based on it's amino acid sequence as it is not large enough to form a stable complex 3-dimensional shape. Back to amino acids - Most amino acids do NOT have a known hormone function but, rather, are the building blocks for the amino acid based hormones. I propose that the amino acid table be removed and be replaced with the correct table in prior versions of the article. I kept the amino acid table but re-titled it to better reflect the role of the amino acids in the structure of human hormones.

Name Abbreviation Tissue Cells Receptor Target Tissue Effect
Epinephrine EPI adrenal gland adrenergic receptor nearly all tissues blood pressure, glycogenolysis, lipolysis, etc.
Melatonin MT pineal gland melatonin receptor CNS and peripheral tissue circadian rhythm
Triiodothyronine T3 peripheral tissue of thyroid gland thyroid hormone receptor nearly every cell in the body increased metabolism
Thyroxine T4 thyroid gland thyroid hormone receptor similar effect as T3 but much weaker

Is vitamin D a harmone?

edit

I keep seeing statements that vitamin D is a harmone on the internet, but it is not listed as a harmone in this article. I am not a medical person, but would like to know is this a vitamin you get from food or a harmone your body produces? Here is one example of a medical article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1240026/ which is entitled: "Vitamin D: A Hormone for All Seasons - How much is enough? Understanding the New Pressures" Thanks for any light you might shed. N0w8st8s (talk) 17:16, 20 April 2019 (UTC)n0w8st8sReply

Vitamin D is most definitely a hormone as it activates the vitamin D receptor, a nuclear hormone receptor. Boghog (talk) 19:48, 11 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Needs reference to pregnenolone

edit

There is no mention of pregnenolone which many leading medical articles, refer to as a "hormone", despite it's primary function being one that creates other steroid hormones.

Whether it is added to the list vs just being referenced is debatable depending on how it is viewed, but regardless, there needs to be at the very least a link to the pregnenolone wiki page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnenolone 2605:EF80:3A:CB64:0:0:1262:2836 (talk) 06:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Activin

edit

I think activin should be added to the list, since inhibin is there too. I know both are linked, but I believe it would be better to list activin as an "independent point". 207.253.171.59 (talk) 16:42, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
