Cortisol is a glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex. It stimulates gluconeogenesis, lipolysis and proteolysis and inhibits cellular uptake and utilisation of amino acids. Vasopressin is synthesised by the hypothalamus and is released into blood from neurohypophysis. Calcitonin is secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland decreases blood calcium levels. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland.
