(a) Thyroxine: Regulates metabolism (including fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism) and overall growth.
(b) Insulin: Facilitates the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, lowering blood sugar levels.
(c) Adrenaline: Initiates the “fight-or-flight” response, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy levels.
(d) Growth hormone: Promotes growth and development of bones, muscles, and tissues throughout the body.
(e) Testosterone: Primarily responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics and reproductive functions.
