Growth hormone, secreted by the pituitary gland, controls growth of the body. Estrogen and testosterone control sexual development. Some of the hormones released in the brain, known as endorphins, act as natural painkillers. When the amounts of these or other hormones are abnormal, disease can ...
hormone,secretory substance carried from one gland or organ of the body via the bloodstream to more or less specific tissues, where it exerts some influence upon the metabolism of the target tissue. Normally, various hormones are produced and secreted by the endocrine glands (seeendocrine system)...
anterior pituitary hormone any of the protein or polypeptide hormones secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, including growth hormone, thyrotropin, prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, and corticotropin. antidiuretic hormone (ADH) vasopres...
Decapod crustaceans regulate molting through steroid molting hormones, ecdysteroids, synthesized by the molting gland (Y-organ, YO). Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), a neuropeptide synthesized and secreted by the eyestalk ganglia, negatively regulates YO ecdysteroidogenesis. MIH signaling ...
Two hormones govern the embryonic development of male genitalia. Mdller- ian inhibiting substance, first described in mammals by Jost (15.16) causes regression during mid-gestation of the ~[illerianducts of male fetal develop- ment in the rat (19.20). This hormone is secreted by the testis ...
In crustaceans, secretion of ecdysteroid molting hormones by Y-organs is regulated by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), a neuropeptide produced by the X-organ... R.,Douglas,Watson,... - 《Amer Zool》 被引量: 63发表: 2001年 The effect of eyestalk extirpation on larval development of the mud...
A hormone that stimulates the growth and activity of the gonads, especially any of several pituitary hormones that stimulate the function of the ovaries and testes. [gonad+-tropin.] American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition. Copyright © 2016 by Houghton Mifflin Harc...
High doses of melatonin result in prolonged elevation of serum melatonin level and increased production of prolactin by the pituitary gland. Unlike most hormones, melatonin is readily absorbed from the digestive tract and is a component of some foods. Hence therapeutic formulations are not subject ...
Natriuretic peptides are frequently regarded as hormones that maintain homeostasis in the skeletal muscle, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, and kidneys. Pharmacological natriuretic peptide stimulation lowers blood pressure, but genetic natriuretic peptide elimination causes arterial hypertension and related...
[5]. Currently, there is no effective clinical treatment for ARDS, and management primarily involves supportive therapies such as antibiotics, hormones, and mechanical ventilation [6,7]. As a result, many patients with severe sepsis and ARDS face challenges in their recovery, with an overall in...
