Hormones
Hormones are biochemicals produced by the glands in a body. Hormones help to regulate the body's functions. They control hunger, mood, sleep, growth, and a number of other functions.

What part of human blood carries hormones and nutrients?
The plasma, or liquid part of the blood, is primary responsible for transporting nutrients, hormones, and wastes. Oxygen, in contrast, is carried by the red blood cells.
Insulin's primary duty is to regulate blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells to be used for energy or stored for later use. It also helps with the storage of excess glucose in the liver and muscles as glycogen. Additionally, insulin plays a role in promoting protein synthesis and inhibiting the breakdown of stored fats.

oxytocin: a pituitary octapeptide hormone C43H66N12O12S2 that stimulates especially the contraction of uterine muscle and the secretion of milk.
Oxytocin ( /ˌɒksɨˈtoʊsɪn/) is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. Oxytocin has the distinction of being the very first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced and synthesized biochemically, by Vincent du Vigneaud et al. in 1953.[1]
Oxytocin is best known for its roles in female reproduction. It is released in large amounts 1) after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, and 2) after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors.[2] For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone".[3]
The word oxytocin is a corruption of the Greek ὼκυτοκίνη, ÅkytokÃnÄ“, "quick labor".
What do you do if your dog ate Calcitriol Topical ointment?
Call your vet immediately. Do not wait for symptoms to arise. This medication can cause kidney failure when dogs ingest it. I know this because 2 days ago my dog ingested 3 sample sized tubes of it and is now in the veterinary hospital with renal failure. The vitamin D in the cream apparently causes the dogs calcium levels to rise dramatically and can cause damage to the kidneys and heart. Don't wait! The sooner the vet can treat your dog the better it's chances of averting danger. BTW My vet did not think this medication would have done much damage until he read the case file from poison control.
Is Sobe Adrenaline Rush Energy Drink discontinued?
There are many reports that this drink was discontinued at one time, and that may be fact, but currently (November 2011) they are being produced in limited supply. The following quote was taken directly from a SoBe representative on their Facebook page:
SoBe Unfortunately, Adrenaline Rush is made in very, very limited supply now. You can check out our Store Locator to see if it's sold near you: http://www.pepsicobeveragefacts.com/storelocator/index600.html (Here's the shortcut for how to find it: Home > Energy Drinks > SoBe Adrenaline Rush > Adrenaline Rush Regular)
I am able to find it in both North and South Carolina. Many people have complained, so hopefully they will listen. Please comment on their Facebook page and sign this petition if you'd like it mass produced again:

There is kosher insulin that is derived from a plant. However, as insulin is injected and not consumed and because it is required to maintain the health and life of diabetics, porcine derived insulin is allowed. There is no religious requirement for "kosher" insulin as it is not a food and is not consumed.
What is adrenaline mode in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas?
its when the grand theft auto characters walk and drive cars real slow, also there voice deepens.
Why do some birth control pills contain progesterone?
All birth control pills contain progesterone to prevent pregnancy. There is no birth control pill that doesn't contain progestin.
What is the follicle stimulating hormone?
It is secreted by pitutory.Stimulated by GnRH secreted by Hypothalamus.
No it is not a lipid. Insulin is made up of proteins. It cannot be injected orally.
What hormones does a man need to grow female?
Man needs the female hormone which is called the estrogen.
Hormones are produced by which system?
These are both hormones of the reproductive system. They are generally associated with the female body.
How does adrenaline effect muscles?
Well adrenaline is basically a natural drug that gets produced in your body, Now if you are doing a sport and adrenaline kicks in, I would think it not only would you get extremely into the sport you are playing but it would also make you perform much better and focus much better.
Is thickening the endometrium the main function of progesterone during menstrual cycle?
Yes, thickening of the uterine lining is one of the main functions of progesterone during the menstrual cycle, allowing the womb to build-up the uterine lining to support a fertilised egg. If pregnancy doesn't occur then it's the drop in progesterone that causes the uterine lining to break down.
What are 3 ways in which endocrine glands are stimulated to secrete their hormones?
Other hormones - hormones that stimulate the secretion of other hormones from endocrine glands are called tropic hormones. An example of this would be the secretion of human gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) by the hypothalamus. This hormone stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete follicle stimulating hormone (F SH) and luteurizing hormone (LH), two hormones particularly important in menstruation.
Nerve impulse conduction - when a nerve impulse reaches the end of the nerve axon, neurotransmitters are released. In many cases, these neurotransmitters can act as endocrine hormones. For example, in order to stimulate muscle contraction, a nerve impulse that reaches the axon of a nerve that directly contacts a muscle (i.e. a motor neuron), will stimulate the release of acetylcholine. The acetylcholine binds receptors on the muscle and it contracts.
Changes in concentration of extracellular ions or nutrients - many cells have molecules that can act as sensors of the extracellular environment, and changes in this environment can stimulate them to secrete hormones. A common example of this is the secretion of insulin or glucagon. If glucose concentration in the blood is high, insulin is secretes. If blood glucose is low, glucagon is secreted.
In addition, many hormones can be secreted in response to environmental stimuli like a change in heat or light. Often times this secretion is indirect and utilizes one of the previous mentioned mechanisms. However one example of a direct affect of the environment is the hormone melatonin. Melatonin helps regulate sleep/wake cycles and is produced by the pineal gland when directly stimulated by darkness (i.e. night)

What does produce eggs and release females sex hormones?
The ovary.
Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have. The ovary stores them and at intervals will stimulate and egg to develop.
What is the effect of pytalin?
It is an enzyme essential for digesting carbohydrates. It appears in our saliva and is activated when we chew. It is an enzyme essential for digesting carbohydrates. It appears in our saliva and is activated when we chew.
What is the function of the neurotransmitter orexin in the brain?
Orexin has a key function in human neurology and physiology. It is a regulator in and around the hypothalamus which affects one's hunger, fatigue and general arousal. Though its quantity in our anatomy is far less than that of of other neurotransmitters, its role is no less important.
What organ secrets the hormone on growth hormone?
Growth hormone is secreted by posterior Pitutory.Production is stimulated by Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone produced by Hypothalamus.
Why Is It Important That Adrenaline Be Broken Down Very Quickly In What if your Body?
it can overwork the muscles and so its important to let the body return to normal once the "event" has passed.

furylsm,
Are the effects of aldosterone and adh similar or antagonistic?
the effects are similar. Both hormones are Na+/H2O regulators in the kidneys, they just perform this function in different ways. ADH contros the H2O in our bodies and how much is released while aldosterone is in control of what is reabsorded.

Endocrine Glands are a type of ductless organ that produce hormones
