Column I Chemical nature |
Column II Hormones |
| A. Peptide, polypeptide, protein hormones | (ii) Insulin, glucagon, pituitary hormones, hypothalamic hormones. |
| B. Steroids | (i) Cortisol, testosterone, estradiol and progesterone. |
| C. Iodothyronines | (iv) Thyroid hormones. |
| D. Amino-acid derivatives | (iii) Epinephrine. |
On the basis of their chemical nature, hormones can be divided into groups :
(i) Peptide, polypeptide, protein hormones (e.g., insulin, glucagon, pituitary hormones, hypothalamic hormones, etc.).
(ii) steroids (e.g., cortisol, testosterone, estradiol and progesterone).
(iii) iodothyronines (thyroid hormones).
(iv) amino-acid derivatives (e.g., epinephrine).
