Like all endocrine hormones, it is transported by blood.

Melatonin, produced in the pineal gland which is outside of the blood-brain barrier, acts as an endocrine hormone since it is released into the blood.

The posterior pituitary stores and secretes the following important endocrine hormones:

For example the kidney secretes endocrine hormones such as erythropoietin and renin.

The outputs of the hypothalamus can be divided into two categories: neural projections, and endocrine hormones.

Together, the three endocrine hormones work as a system to maintain the blood glucose level between high and low boundaries.

The anterior pituitary synthesizes and secretes the following important endocrine hormones:

Prostaglandins are not endocrine hormones, but autocrine or paracrine, which are locally acting messenger molecules.

Therefore, preserving cell viability while restoring a lean state is an important strategy as adipocytes exert a protective action by releasing beneficial endocrine hormones.

In Bernhardt's et al. (1998) study, they examined physiological processes related to basking in reflected glory, specifically, changes in the production of endocrine hormones.
