Hormones regulate internal functions from metabolism and growth to sexual development and the induction of birth.
The endocrine system consists of cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones as a primary or secondary function. The endocrine gland is the major player in this system. The primary function of these ductless glands is to secrete their hormones directly into the surrounding fluid. The intersti...
An overview of the nervous and endocrine systems‚ their functions and how together they regulate homeostasis The endocrine system is the internal system of the body that deals with chemical communication by means of hormones‚ the ductless glands that secrete the hormones‚ and those target cel...
I think they have their place, but you will never get really good physiological function if you are just throwing hormones in, and you don’t correct some of those underlying diet and lifestyle pieces that will keep driving that adrenal function. Believe me, I was the first to go, “I’...
International encyclopedia of pharmacology and therapeutics. Section 41. Vol. I. Pharmacology of the endocrine system and related drugs: the neurohypophysis. This book deals comprehensively with neurohypo-physial hormones and their synthetic analogues. Chapters included are: Remarks on the history of ...
The combined effect of endogenous hormones and EDCs on the receptor of estrogen (ER), androgen (AR), aryl hydrocarbon (AhR), and thyroid hormone-like activity were also determined and expressed as receptor ligand equivalents. We assessed the associations of AF levels of chemicals, sex hormones,...
Fun fact: epinephrine and norepinephrine function both as hormones in the endocrine system and as neurotransmitters in the nervous system! In fact, norepinephrine is the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. The acute stress response: playing hormone telephone ...

1. A longitudinal record of weight and height (along with Mid parental height (MPH) and Target range) and BMI should be maintained on a growth chart at six monthly interval to facilitate early detection of growth faltering. MPH is calculated by adding 6.5 cm to the average of the mothe...
Whilst there is a large body of evidence describing the functional roles of gut hormones, comparatively little is known about the factors that control EEC differentiation and assign subset identity. EECs were originally classified by immunostaining according to their dominant hormone product. Glucagon-...
