Bordetella pertussis is the bacterium that causes pertussis (whooping cough). It is spread from host to host only by humans and travels through the air. Nobody knows where the bacterium originated but it was first isolated by scientists in Belgium in 1906. Pertussis is highly-contagious and incidents are on the rise in North America. There is a vaccine, but it still remains the leading cause of vaccine-preventable deaths world-wide.

What kind of hormone is FSH Is it a peptide hormone a steriod hormone or a thyroxine hormone?
peptide hormone
Is melatonin a peptide hormone?
no it is an amino acid hormone
What hormone does the pancreas release in response to high concentration of blood sugar?
That would be the peptide hormone called "Glucagon". (GLOO-kuh-gone)
Which hormone is not steroid hormone?
Prolactin. There are several hormones.Growth hormone,insulin are peptide hormones
A peptide hormone that decreases gastric motility?
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone that decreases gastric motility by inhibiting the stomach muscles from contracting. It is released in response to the presence of fatty acids and amino acids in the small intestine to slow down digestion and promote the feeling of fullness.
Where is the hormone arterial natriuretic peptide produced?
in the heart
Is GnRH a steroid hormone?
No, GnRH or gonadotropin releasing hormone is not a steroid, but rather a peptide (type of protein) hormone.
What peptide hormone does testicles produce that inhibits FSH?
Inhibin
What kind of hormone is glucagon?
Glucagon is released when blood sugar levels drop too low. It stimulates the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, therefore increasing blood sugar levels. It is a hormone agonist (i.e. binds to a receptor in a cell and triggers a response).Its opposing hormone is insulin, an antagonist which is release when blood sugar levels climb too high.
Atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that is made in the atria of the heart The influence of this hormone is?
reduce blood pressure
How many amino acid are there in ACTH?
is a peptide of 39 amino acids. It is cut from a larger precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC).
What is an adrenocorticotropic hormone?
An adrenocorticotropic hormone is a peptide hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, which stimulates the secretion of other hormones - also known as corticotrophin.
