Is it true some hormones regulate other hormones?
Yes. For example, thyroid releasing hormone stimulates the release of thyroid stimulating hormone, which in turn stimulates the release of thyroxine (T4). On the other hand the hormone somatotropin, also known as human growth hormone, inhibits thyroid stimulating hormone. Another hormone, cortisol, if excessive can block thyroid stimulating hormone from increasing thyroxine and increase another hormone rT3, which interferes with the body's utilization of T3.
I heard thyroid regulates other hormones?
Somewhat. If the body is working properly the hormones are regulated in a check an balance matter. For example, if the thyroxine levels go too high this will shut down the production of thyroid stimulating hormone. If thyroxine levels are subnormal the level of thyroid stimulating hormone is increased in an attempt to stimulate more thyroxine synthesis.
Another thyroid hormone, calcitonin, is the antagonist for the hormone parathyroid hormone.
What other body systems regulate hormones?
There are a lot of hormones produced by the body that are produced and regulated in different ways. Some by breakdown of excess levels by the liver. Some by the action of other hormones. Or some require specific nutrients to be secreted and utilized. For example, insulin is secreted in part due to levels of the nutrient glucose, but the insulin cannot work properly without sufficient chromium and magnesium needed to keep insulin receptors open. Some hormones can also be regulated by oxidation or their metabolites broken down by the flora to keep them from being reabsorbed and adding to the hormone load.
