I've been trying to find a complete list of all the hormones and all of the enzymes that could possibly be on the MCAT. I couldn't find the link for it, and was wondering if anyone knew where to look? Or if they actually knew or had the list themselves? Thank You!

These are all the hormones that must be memorized for the MCAT. Learn the 5 steroid and know the rest are protein, know where there are secreted from (in the case of oxytocin and vasopressin (or antidiuretic hormone) know they are made in the hypothalamus and secreted to the posterior pituitary where they are stored and later secreted.

Steroid:
Testosterone (Androgen): Testes
Progesterone: Ovary specifically corpus luteum
Estrogen: ovary specifically follicle
Aldosterone: adrenal cortex
Cortisol: adrenal cortex

Protein:
Follicle stimulating hormone: anterior pituitary
Leutinizing hormone
ACTH
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Prolactin
Growth hormone

Oxytocin: posterior pituitary
Vasopressin

Insulin: pancreas
Glucagon

Parathyroid hormone: parathyroid

Calcitonin: thyroid
Thyroxine

Epinephrine: Adrenal Medulla
Norepinephrine
 
I would add triiodothyronine to the thyroid list (T3), and then its complete.
 
Cortisol and aldosterone are secreted by adrenal cortex not medulla.

correct. And norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is secreted by the adrenal medulla


Edit- Nevermind. I can see that is what you meant.
