glucocorticoid - a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal cortex of animals; affects functioning of gonads and has anti-inflammatory activity catecholamine - any of a group of chemicals including epinephrine and norepinephrine that are produced in the medulla of the adrenal gland melanocyte-...
Testosterone plays a role in brain structure and cognitive function. Testosterone receptors in your hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are involved in higher cognitive function.One animal study showed that surgical removal of either testicle decreased acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus and anterior ...
Estrogens are also produced by the adrenal cortex in both genders and by the placenta in females [94]. In males, small amounts of estrogens are also produced by Leydig cells and germ cells in the testes [95]. Estrogen exerts its effects through nuclear receptors (ERα and ERβ) or ...
These hormones are released by the adrenal medulla on any form of sympathetic stimulation. Adrenaline is known as the ‘fight and flight’ hormone for the reason that it is produced in situations of ‘fight or flight’. Adrenaline increases the heart rate, body temperature, pulse rate, causes ...
