Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Plays a role in menstrual cycle, prepares uterus for implantation after fertilization of the
ovum, and helps prepare the breasts for lactation during pregnancy.
Oxytocin
Stimulates uterine contractions and the release of milk from milk ducts in the breasts
during lactation.
Progesterone
It decreases uterine motility and contractility caused by estrogen and prepares the
uterus for implantation after fertilization. During pregnancy it readies the breasts for
lactation.
Estrogen
Responsible for development of the secondary sex characteristics (breasts
development, widening of the hips, deposition of fat *********** region, and mons pubis
begins to grown pubic hair). Helps regulate the menstrual cycle by stimulating
proliferation (2nd stage in the uterine-endometrial cycle) of the endometrial lining in
preparation for pregnancy.
Testosterone
Found in women in small amounts but helps with sexual libido, increases energy boosts
immune function, protects against osteoporosis (a condition in which bones become
weak and brittle).
In men, it is the primary male hormone that is produced by the testes. It is responsible
for the development of the secondary male sexual characteristics (body hair, deeper
voice, growth in long bones)
Prolactin (PRL)
Stimulates the maturation of the mammary gland during pregnancy initiates milk
production and provides some inhibition to the stimulation of FSH and LH. (the hormone
that stimulates milk production by the anterior pituitary gland).
Prostaglandins
Unsaturated fatty acids are classified as hormones. It is found in many body tissues
occurring in high concentrations in the female reproductive tract. Modulate hormonal
activity and have an effect on ovulation, fertility, and cervical mucus viscosity. Pre-
menstrustrual the of this in the uterus causes vasoconstriction and muscle contractions
that lead to tissue ischemia and dysmenorrhea (painful menses).
Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)
Regulates adrenocorticotropic stimulating hormone (ACTH), secretion by the anterior
pituitary to activate the sympathetic nervous system. It is also released by the pregnant
woman when her embryo soon after implantation.
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)
Released from the hypothalamus and stimulates release of FSH and LH when there is a
decrease in estrogen and progesterone detected.
Growth Hormone- Releasing Hormone (GHRH)
, Stimulates the production and release of growth hormone (GH) by the anterior pituitary
gland.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Also known as thyrotropin. Regulates the endocrine function if the thyroid gland.
Follicle- Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Stimulates the ovaries to begin follicular maturation and to produce estrogen and
promotes the formation of the ova. It is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
Potassium (3.5-5.0 mEq/L)
In pregnancy it helps send nerve impulses and helps muscle contract. Since the blood
increases 40-50% it helps keeps the extra fluid in balance.
Foods that are good in this are avocado, banana, potatoes, spinach, beans, citrus
juices, and fish.
Vitamin B12 (Water Soluble)
Maintaining the health of the nervous system. Prevents spina bifida and other CNS birth
defects.
Foods that are good in this are meats, liver, mushrooms, oats, and shelfish.
Vitamin C (Water Soluble)
Aids in tissue formation and integrity and enhances absorption of IRON.
Foods that are good in this are strawberries, citrus fruits (oranges, limes, lemons),
melons (watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe), peppers, broccoli.
Pyridoxine/Vitamin B6 (Water Soluble)
Plays a role in preventing pre-eclampsia. Body cannot make this so we have to to either
eat it or take it in supplement form.
Foods that are good in this are pork, poultry (chicken, turkey), fish, bread, whole grain
oats, cereals (oatmeal, wheatgerm and brown rice), eggs, vegetables, soy beans.
Folic Acid/Vitamin B/Folate (Water Soluble)
Closely related to iron. Working with vitamin B12, this help regulate red blood cells
development and facilitates the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Women of
childbearing age need to make a daily dose of 400 mcg to help prevent birth defects in
the neural tube defects (brain and spinal cord and cleft palate/lip).
Foods good in this are dark leafy green vegetables (spinach), asparagus, broccoli,
peas, lentils, avocado, okra, brussels sprouts, seeds, citrus fruits (oranges and lemons),
beans, cereals, rice, pasta (whole grain).
Taking with vitamin C will help absorption with iron and this.
Vitamin K (fat soluble)
Rare deficiency in moms.
Goods foods that have it are green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, turnip greens,
collard greens, swiss chard, mustard greens, parsley, romaine, and green leaf lettuce).
Vegetables are brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage is good but can
cause gas issues). Fish, liver, meat, eggs, and cereals.
Vitamin E (fat soluble)
Rare deficiency in moms.
Good foods that have this are vegetables oils, nuts, cereals, some leafy green
vegetables, meat, poultry (turkey and chicken), fruit, and wheat germ oil.
Vitamin D (fat soluble)
