Tisztázatlan jelentőségű hormonok az emberben (oxitocin, kalcitonin, dehidroepiandroszteron) • Hormones of Unclear Relevance in Humans (Oxytocin, Calcitonin DehydroepiandrosteronE)

Abstract

The human hormonal regulatory system is expanding by several recently identified members, however, there are still many traditional hormones with poorly known functions. Examples for conventional regulatory molecules without clarified relevance include the oxytocin of the pituitary, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) of the adrenal cortex or calcitonin produced by the C-cells of the thyroid gland.
