Kisspeptin has a secondary function that is not related to hormones. Without kisspeptin, this entire chain reaction would be damaged. These hormones have a role to play in the production of testosterone and oestradiol. Those neurotransmitters then signal the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. Kisspeptin enters into receptor sites in the pituitary gland, starting a reaction that causes the gland to release neurotransmitters. Also called metastin, this interesting hormone is connected to puberty and may also help stop the spread of cancer. Kisspeptin, made in the hypothalamus, is an important hormone that starts the release of several other hormones. Lack of TSH results in hypothyroidism (not enough thyroid hormone). Too much TSH is rare and will cause hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone).

Researchers are still learning about the potential functions of the pineal gland and the hormone melatonin. Pineal glands is important for the sleep cycle regulation of female reproductive hormone associated with fertility and menstrual cycle. Together, the hypothalamus and pituitary tell the other endocrine glands in your body to make the hormones that affect and protect every aspect of your health. Found deep inside the brain, the hypothalamus produces releasing and inhibiting hormones and controls the “master gland”- the pituitary. Their job is to tell other endocrine glands throughout the body to make the hormones that affect and protect every aspect of your health. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland are like orchestra conductors.

The pituitary gland and the hypothalamus-are located in or near the brain.
