|<font color=Purple>Leptin</font>
|<font color=Purple>Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)</font>
|Leptin is produced when the body has had adequate to eat.
|[[Endocrine System - Pituitary Growth Hormone - Anatomy & Physiology|Growth Hormone]] released from the pituitary gland binds to receptors on liver cells which causes them to synthesise and secrete IGF-1.
|IGF-1 has insulin-like effects as it can bind to the Insulin Receptor, and is also the stimulus for growth in the body. Almost all cell types respond to IGF-1.

|Angiotensinogen is the precursor to angiotensin 1, and is part of the [[Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) - Anatomy & Physiology|Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system]].
|Participates in the [[General Pathology - Basic Aspects of the Immune Response|immune response.]] It may have some role in obesity and Type II Diabetes mellitus.
|Is converted to Angiotensin by [[Endocrine System - Kidney - Anatomy & Physiology|renin]] which in turn is converted to other substrates which act to raise blood pressure during hypotension.

|Causes bone marrow precursor cells to develop into [[Thrombopoiesis - Anatomy & Physiology#Megakaryocyte|Megakaryocyte]], platelet precursors.
