could be a pituitary tumor causing the pituitary to release 'releasing hormones' causing glands in the body to release their own hormones.
example....pituitary tumor can cause thyroid releasing hormone to increase, leading to an increase in thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland.
Answer:
Endocrinology is the study of hormones and hormone-producing glands or cells as well as their effects on the body. Therefore, it is quite impossible to quantify the level of 'endocrine' in the body as it not really something that can be measured. Though it can definitely be discussed. Hormone levels and hormone production by glands/secretory bodies is a bodily response to external or even internal change that disrupts homeostasis.
The amount of glands & secretory bodies in the body are usually the same across the same species. Pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pineal gland etc. All or similar organs are present in most mammals because of the functions they serve by the hormones they can produce.
It is the level of hormones that can change, and even drastically so to reach "too much". For instance, adrenaline, a famous hormone, is responsible for the fight-or-flight response. Its response is massive; change in heart rate, change in blood vessel diameter, change in pupil size, change in production of other hormones etc. etc. etc.

Why every body have different body metabolism?
One of the reasons is because of a difference in the release of thyroid hormone. The thyroid is an endocrine gland that regulates the body's metabolic rate. If it increases the release of thyroid hormone, it increases the body's metabolic rate and vice versa. There are disorders where the thyroid releases too much or too little thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism (too little) results in a metabolism that is too slow. Hyperthyroidism (too much) results in a metabolism that is very fast.
