Hormones are chemicals produced by glands in the body, and they are released to accomplish several key functions by targeting specific organs and cells. What is the meaning of endocrine system? The endocrine system is an important bodily system that controls the production and secretion of hormones...
Evolution of Vertebrate Hormones and Their Receptors: Insights from Non-Osteichthyan Genomes. Homeostatic control and reproductive functions of humans are regulated at the molecular levels largely by peptide hormones secreted from endocrine and/or neuroendocrine cells in the central nervous system and ...
It is noted that somastostatin and TRF not only act as hypothalamic hormones but also as central neurotransmitters. Also Substance P should be considered as a transmitter which can participate in the control of neuroendocrine functions. 展开 ...

Both sex and hormones interact to modulate neuroeffector mechanisms including integrated regulation of the Sry gene and direct effect of sex steroid hormones on synthesis, release and disposition of monoamine neurotransmitters, and distribution and sensitivity of their receptors in brain areas associated ...
Fig. 3: Topology of O-glycosites in peptide hormones and their predicted functions. We explored the address and message glycosites relative to characterized structural and/or functional receptor-binding motifs. Interestingly, in five different peptide hormone families a majority of the glycosites were...
