Question
Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the secretion of hormones by the anteriorpituitary? SELECT ALL THAT APPLYHormone Target EffectA. Beta-endorphin Adrenal gland Secretion of glucocorticoidB. Corticotropin Adrenal gland Secretion of androgensC. Prolactin Mammary glands Promotes lactationD. Growth Hormone Liver Promotes growthE. Leptin Corticotrophic cells ACTH secretion
Solution
The false statements regarding the secretion of hormones by the anterior pituitary are:
A. Beta-endorphin does not target the adrenal gland to secrete glucocorticoid. Beta-endorphin is an opioid peptide that is involved in pain perception and does not have a direct role in glucocorticoid secretion.
E. Leptin is not secreted by the anterior pituitary. It is a hormone that is produced by the body's fat cells and is involved in the regulation of body weight by inhibiting hunger. It does not target corticotrophic cells for ACTH secretion.
So, options A and E are false.
