hormones, and trillions of cell receptors. Firstly, there are several hormone-producing glands: three in your brain, and seven in the rest of your body. Each is surrounded by a network ofblood vessels, from which they extract ingredients to manufacture dozens of hormones. Those hormones are...
HormonesDNAReceptors, Cell SurfaceBase SequenceTranscription, GeneticModels, BiologicalOn the whole, the question as to how steroid hormones act to induce the transcription of specified genes is not much more understood today than it was 15 years ago, but considerable progress has been made during ...
Bioidentical hormones mimic natural hormones because they have the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by the human body. This structural similarity allows bioidentical hormones to bind to the same receptors in cells and tissues that natural hormones do, and as a result, they can ...
Thyroid hormonesplay an important role in many physiological processes including helping the liver break down fats.Thyroidhormones work by stimulating molecules known as thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) in the body. THR-alpha isoform is primarily found in brain, heart and bone, while the liver, kid...

In plants, the contents of small peptide hormones are very low, the molecular weight is small, the quantity is large, and the source and processing mechanism is complex. This gives small peptides a variety of biological functions. They can bind to receptors at very low concentrations, regulate...
Estrogensare a group of naturalendogenoushormones in women and are present in smaller quantities in men. Estrogens are the primary hormones responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. Estrogens also play an important role in male...
