Hormones and their appropriate categories are described as follows:

• GrRH is a hypothalamic growth releasing hormone that stimulates anterior pituitary to release growth hormone.
• Cortisol is produced by the adrenal cortex, which is a glucocorticoid, plays an important role in the metabolism of glucose and management of stress.
• Androgen is sex hormone produced by the male gonads (testes) and also by the adrenal cortex.
• PRL is Prolactin, released from anterior pituitary. It is a lactogenic hormone which stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk after childbirth.
