Testosterone
Promotes production of gonadal hormones
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Melatonin
Progesterone
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Hormone that is released by the anterior pituitary that stimulates the thyroid to produce hormones
(a)
The role of (a) in men is not well understood; in women, it stimulates milk production
Produced by parafollicular (C) cells of the thyroid in response to high Ca2+ levels. Antagonist to parathyroid hormone (PTH)

The hormone responsible for maturation of male reproductive organs and appearance of male secondary sexual characteristics and sex drive.
(a)
Only glucocorticoid found in significant amounts in humans. Released by the adrenal cortex in response to ACTH
Cortisol
