What is the name of the hormone that starts puberty?
The first hormone that starts the changes in boy boys and girls is called 'gonadotrophin releasing hormone' (GnRH). It is released by the hypothalamus (a part of the brain) and triggers the pituitary gland to release two hormones: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH).

Does more estrogen balance excess testosterone in women?
Found the following at http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C621300.html under Recommendations and Treatments for high Testosterone Level: Hormone - Estrogen Replacement "Low estrogens allow the circulating androgens and testosterone to be more freely available and thus stimulate cells more. Increasing the circulating estrogen in the blood by taking estrogens will increase the proteins that bind the androgens and help decrease the effects of all androgens, whether the levels are normal or excessive." Also from http://www.drmirkin.com/women/1233.html "Just taking birth control pills markedly lower a woman's blood levels of testosterone because the estrogen in birth control pills shuts down the brain that produces FSH the hormone that causes the ovaries to produce testosterone." Not certain on the reliability of these sources, but either or both might be correct. So the higher your estrogen level, the lower your testosterone level will be? x
What happens in hot flashes?
As estrogen levels are depleted, whether due to surgical, chemical, or natural age-related changes, the area in the brain that regulates several functions including body temperature--the hypothalamus--becomes "confused."
What are the principle concerning puberty?
The brain triggers the adrenals to produce hormones. This causes the gonads to produce testosterone in boys and estrogen in girls.
What hormones bring about puberty?
The main hormones that are involved in puberty are testosterone for males and oestrogen (can also be spelt 'estrogen') and progesterone for females. These are released from a gland in the brain called the pituitary gland. Other hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH).
Which perspective is most relevant to understanding the linkages between hormone levels and sexual motivation?
The biological perspective is most relevant for understanding the linkages between hormone levels and sexual motivation. This perspective emphasizes the role of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen in influencing sexual behavior, desire, and motivation through their effects on the brain and body.
Are boys brains different than girls?
physically no. There are chemicals produced more by boys and others produced more by girls, so chemically, there can be a difference. Testosterone and Estrogen are the most commonly known of these. Boys produce more testosterone and girls produce more estrogen, so the brain will contain more of one or the other depending on gender.
Which part of the brain regulates water balance?

What occurs when the temperature regulation mechanism in the brain is disturbed oftentimes when estrogen levels fall during menopause?
It would be hot flashes.
How is testosterone associated with puberty?
The brain signals the adrenals to produce a lot of growth hormone. This causes increase in testosterone levels. This hormone drives puberty . it is the reason behing growth of pubic hair,etc.
Why do most men want estrogen?
They do not. Estrogen is the female hormone. Testosterone is the male hormone.- - - - - - - -Bullcrap. From J Clin Invest. 1969 December;48(12): 2191-2201:Continuous infusions of Δ4-androstenedione-7-3H and testosterone-7-3H have been used to demonstrate that these androgens are converted to estrone and 17β-estradiol, and contribute to the circulating blood levels of these estrogens in normal males and females.Note the appearance of the phrase "...in normal males and females" (emphasis mine).wrong men do have estrogen, its made from testosterone by the aromotise enzyme.
