Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is one of the trophic hormones released by the anterior pituitary. It stimulates the adrenal cortex to synthesize and secrete glucocorticoids such as cortisol, which help the body to respond to stressful situations.
MSH is melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which stimulates melanocytes to produce the skin pigment melanin.
Triiodothyronine (T3) is a thyroid hormone, which regulates the body metabolism.
