Prostaglandins because they come from male prostate glands.
Tropic hormones stimulate the release of hormones from other endocrine glands in the body. They act as chemical messengers to regulate the function of target glands such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, and ovaries or testes.
Epithelial tissues are in the glands.
Sweat
The hormones produced by the endocrine glands are secreted directly into the bloodstream. The circulatory system then distributes these chemical messengers to target tissues throughout the body.
