According to these studies, a protein intake around 30% of calories may be optimal for weight loss. This amounts to 150 grams per day for someone on a 2000 calorie diet. You can calculate it by multiplying your calorie intake by 0.075.
When we look at hormones that have other endocrine glands as their target we call them tropic hormones. The four tropic hormones of the anterior pituitary gland are: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Hormonal Regulation of Hormone Release. Hormonal regulation of hormone release involves a hormone binding to its receptor on an endocrine cell to regulate hormonal secretion. A hormone that stimulates hormone secretion is called a tropic hormone. Tropic hormones may also stimulate proliferation of endocrine cells.or polar hormones, tropic hormones stimulate endocrine secretion by stimulating cell secretion; that is, exocytosis. An example is the regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion by the tropic hormone growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) . GHRH is a hypophysiotropic hormone.
