Too many hormones.Until now, there are about 50 plus hormones discovered in human body(that is what my lecture told me-she's a Dr. actually).
Hormones can be divided into 2 broad classes: lipid-soluble hormones and water-soluble hormones.

1.Lipid-soluble hormones
Lipid-soluble hormones include steroid hormones,thyroid hormones and nitric hormones.
Steroid hormones are derieved from cholesterol.
Thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine or T3 and thyroxine or T4) are synthezed by the thyroid hormones
Nitric Oxide(NO) is both a hormone and a neurotransmitter.

2.Water-soluble hormones
This include the amine hormones,peptide and protein hormones and eicosanoid hormones.

A)Amine hormones retained an amino group on them.Examples are the epinephrine and norepinephrine.
B)Peptide and protein hormones are amino acid polymers.Examples are the antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin.
C)Eicosanoid hormones are derived from arachidonic acid.Examples are the prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
