Estrogen
Mimic signs of estrous
Control urinary incontinence
Induce abortions
AR-prolonged estrous/anemia
Androgens
Male sex hormone
Growth&development of male sex organs
Promote tissue anabolism/weight gain/RBC formation
Progestins
Similar to progesterone
Suppresses estrous/tx false preg
Increase endometrium secretions
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate
Tx behaviour
AR-pyometra/depression/lethargy/increase appetite
not used in practice due to AR
Prostaglandin

Oxytocin
Hormone
Labor induction/milk letdown
must first prime w/progesterone and estrogen
TSH
Thyroid stimulating hormone (anterior pituitary)
To stimulate production of T3 & T4
T3
Cellular level-active form
Control body temp/HR/growth/metabolism/skin/infection resistance
T4-thyroxine
Can be converted to T3
Control body temp/HR/growth/metabolism/skin/infection resistance
Insulin
Produced by beta cells Decreases blood sugar levels Facilitates cellular uptake of glucose and storage Synthetic-beef/pork pancreatic tissue Fast/medium/rapid acting types
Stanozol
Anabolic steroid, hormone
Tx anorexia,debilitation,weight loss, overwork, anemia
Gonadotropins
Act similar to GnRH/LH/FSH
Release LH FSH
