Hormones are important molecules which are generally transported through the body via the blood, and act as a signal from one cell type to another. The endocrine system affects every organ in the body to some degree and as a group they have a multitude of functions.

Hormones are commonly classified into the following groups:

Amines - hormones which are derived from a single amino acid:

• Epinephrine
• Dopamine
• Thyroid Hormones (from tyrosine amino acid residues)

Peptides and Proteins - hormones between 3-200 amino acid residues in size:

• Pituitary gland hormones i.e Growth Hormone and Prolactin
• Leptin
• Adiponectin
• Insulin

Steroids - hormones that have been converted from cholesterol:

• Androgens
• Estrogen
• Progesterone
