The hypothalamus, a part of the brain, is responsible for many hormones. Understanding these brainy hormones will help you take control of your body and your health. The hypothalamus produces hormones that control the production of hormones in the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland is sometimes called the master gland because it controls several other hormone-releasing glands. Some of the glands the pituitary gland controls are the thyroid gland, the ovaries, the testicles (testes) and the adrenal glands.he bloodstream transports the pituitary hormones to other endocrine glands, such as the thyroid gland. The pituitary gland hormones may then stimulate their target endocrine glands to produce their own hormones. These locally produced hormones do the actual work of regulating your body.
