Among the myriad of functions mitochondria control, perhaps the most important is energy production. That is, mitochondria take the nutrients supplied by diet and convert them into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency that cells use to perform all of the functions that keep us alive....
Adrenaline: A hormone and neurotransmitter secreted primarily by the adrenal glands (near the kidneys) and some neurons in the brain, typically during stressful, exciting, or highly emotional situations. Also known as epinephrine, adrenaline increases heart rate and blood flow to the brain and muscle...
Gonadal hormones exert a profound influence on brain development and function throughout the life span. Discoveries of estrogen and progesterone action on brain functions beyond reproduction has led to a resurgence of interest in these steroids and in their receptors. Recent advances in molecular ...

There are dozens of hormones currently known and studied. Those that play a key role in psychological and behavioral functions include: Adrenaline: A hormone and neurotransmitter secreted primarily by the adrenal glands (near the kidneys) and some neurons in the brain, typically during stressful, ex...
In the aging male, there is a loss of overall efficiency and function of many body systems. These functions include changes in overall metabolism, strength, blood pressure, heart rate, appetite, body temperature, sleep/wake cycle, and sexual function. Perhaps the most essential organ system that...
Sex hormones impact a number of aspects of immunity. As a result of the aging process, dramatic changes occur in the endocrine system, particularly in the sex hormones. Thus, it is possible that the hormonal environment may play a role in the effects of
All triiodothyronine (T 3 ) receptor isoforms are expressed in the brain and their spatial and temporal patterns of expression suggest unique and complementary functions for the different isoforms. Cell biology studies suggest a role for T 3 and its receptors in oligodendroglial and neuronal ...
Books in this series will provide reviews of important and timely topics concerning how hormones influence brain functions, especially behavior. It has been known for many years that hormones have profound effects on behavior. However, it is also the case that behavioral and physical experiences of...
