The anterior pituitary gland produces 6 hormones, they are: Growth hormones (GH) to the bones and muscles, thyrotropic hormones (TSH) to the thyroid, prolactin (PRL) to the mammary glands, adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH) to the adrenal cortex, follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) and luteinizing hormones (LH) to the testes or ovaries.
1 The anterior pituitary produces 6 important hormones: 2  Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), as its name suggests, is a tropic hormone responsible for the stimulation of the thyroid gland. 3  Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulates the adrenal cortex, the outer part of the adrenal gland, to produce its hormones.ormone specificity explains how each hormone can have specific effects in widespread parts of the body. Many hormones produced by the endocrine system are classified as tropic hormones. A tropic hormone is a hormone that is able to trigger the release of another hormone in another gland.
