insects from the prothoracic glands was identified in 1954 and synthesized in 1966. This hormone, ecdysone, also regulates molting. Retardation of metamorphosis is caused by juvenile hormone, which is released by nearby glands. In amphibians, metamorphosis is regulated by hormones of the thyroid ...
The adrenal glands are small, triangular-shaped glands that sit on top of both kidneys. Although they are small, adrenal glands are powerful hormone factories that regulate many functions of the body such as your metabolism, immune system, blood pressure
To strengthen your pancreas is one of the best things you can do for a healthy, enduring endocrine system. Theendocrine systemis a messenger system comprising feedback loops of the hormones released by internal glands of an organism directly into the circulatory system. ...
The corpora allata (CA) , like other endocrine glands, go through phases of activity and inactivity which correspond to well defined physiological changes occurring during post-embryonic development. This cyclic activity is not intrinsically programmed but is instead regulated by factors external to the...
The endocrine system is an intricate network of glands and organs that produce hormones that carry out the majority of our bodily functions. The hormones act as messengers to our brains and the rest of our organs and evoke corresponding responses. The hypothalamus gland, for example, controls wat...
GPRC6A in salivary glands and small intestines responds to amino acids and results in increased secretion of GLP-1. GPRC6A is expressed in the brain, where it regulates LH secretion and myelin content. GPRC6A also is expressed in macrophages and modulates innate immune responses and cytokine ...
The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder). In this system, the process of digestion has many stages, the first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the break...
