They are known as posterior pituitary hormones and include oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone. Nonetheless, these hormones are synthesized by the hypothalamus. The anterior pituitary receives signaling molecules from the hypothalamus, and in response, synthesizes and secretes hormones such as the thyroid-stimulating hormone and growth hormone.
