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 hormone do anabolic steroids contain?

Anabolic steroids are drugs that are chemically related to the main male hormone testosterone.

What are the two hormones of endocrine system help in digestion?

the diestive system provides the energy and nutrition that the endocrine system uses and regulates. the endocrine system in turn regulates the digestive system by producing hormones such as insulin that help metabalize foods and nutrients.

How do cells in the ovary detect a hormone in the brain?

Hormones are produced and then circulate through the body systemically. The target organ (in this case the Ovary) has receptors that react to the influence of the hormone through direct interaction of the hormone and the receptor.

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) CG (chorionic gonadotrophin) and LH (Leutinizing Hormone) along with progesterone, prostiglandin and estrogen

are hormones that create feedback between the pituitary gland (brain) and the ovaries creating the reproductive cycle.

What can you substitute for root hormone?

Hi! I have been rooting things for many years. I have also asked this question. I found my answer. There are many things that I have heard of, but only a few that I use.

1. Powdered kelp and water

Gross right? Stick your cutting in DRY soil with good drainage. Make a mixture of kelp and warm water and water your cutting with that.

2. Honey

Boil 2 cups of water and add 1 tbsp honey to it. Let cool and put in airtight container. Store out of light, neither sun nor artificial. Dip cutting in mixture then pot.

3. Willow Tea

Take new growth off of a willow tree. Cut them into 1" segments and stick them in boiling water. Let cool overnight. Stick cutting in willow tea and wait till roots grow. Transplant rooted cutting to a small pot.

4. Aspirin and water

Stick one aspirin in 1 gallon of water and wait till dissolved. Either stick your cutting in it and let it sit or water cutting in dry soil with it.

5. Your Saliva

That's right. Just lick the end of your cutting and plant it, some old time gardeners say that.

6. Nothing

Just stick your cutting in soil and give it the proper care!

So that is what some people say, I'll tell you what I think. Powdered kelp and water has never worked for me. I don't know why, but it has worked for other people. Honey, works. Some people say to apply plain honey to the foot of your cutting, never worked for me. Willow tea, I've never tried. Some say it works others don't. You be the judge! Aspirin and water was recommended to me by a friend. She says it works great. Your saliva may work, not sure, I was to scared to lick the end of a rose bush cutting. :) Nothing, works great if you give it the proper care. Try all of these and figure out for yourself what works best!

Which two hormones exerts opposite effects?

Insulin and glucagon. Insulin stores simple sugars in the form of a polymer (glycogen) in the liver and glucagon breaks down glycogen in the liver forming glucose and releases it back into the bloodstream. ChaCha!

The hormone oxytocin aids the birth process by...?

Oxytocin is used in child birth to strengthen uterine contractions.

it is used during labour(first stage) when the uterine contractions are hypotonic(weak contractions).in his case its used to augment the contractions for efficient effacement and dilatation of the cervix.

After second stage ie immediately after the expulsion of the placenta, oxytocin is given intramuscular to contract the uterus back to non gravid state and to prevent further bleeding from the placental site.

It is also given after a complete spontaneous abortion to also contract the uterus and prevent further bleeding from placental site

What synthesizes oxytocin and ADH?

They are synthesized in hypothalamus.They are secreted by prosterior pitutory.

What organ produces aldosterone?

Aldosterone is produced by the adrenal cortex, specifically the outer adrenal cortex called the Glomuerulosa. The adrenal cortex is also composed of an Mid section called the fasciculate which produces cortisone and the inner portion called reticularis which produces adrogen hormones.

What does leptin release?

Leptin doesn't actually 'release' anything per se. It's actually a protein we produce that sends signals to your brain that you're full or have had enough food for the time being. You'd think that producing more leptin would be a good thing (for weight loss), but science shows chronically overweight people actually build up resistance, so their body doesn't get the 'signal' to stop eating and they enter a spiral of weight gain. Anyhow, hope that helps...if you're interested, there are studies as of May of this year that are showing there's a protein (PTPe) that helps increase sensitivity to leptin and can combat resistance. Anyhow, hope that helped!

Where vasopressin produced?

It is produced in hypothalamus.It is secreted by posterior pitutory.

What happens when renin is released from the kidneys?

Blood pressure increases due to the constiriction of the vessels under the effect of Angiotensin and also under the effect of aldosterone which increase the reabsorbtion of sodium and therefore water from renal tubules.

What glands and organs release hormones in the female reproductive system?

  1. These are the hormone glands of the endocrine system:
    • Ovary
    • Testes
    • Pancreas
    • Adrenal
    • Thymus
    • Parathyroid
    • Thyroid
    • Pituitary (Posterior and anterior)
    • Hypothalamus
    • Pineal

When do prolactin levels begin to rise during pregnancy?

I found this for you on a website Prolactin concentrations were measured in hourly integrated blood samples collected over 24 h in normally cyclic women during the follicular (N = 8) and the luteal (N = 7) phases of the menstrual cycle. Prolactin concentrations were increased during the evening in all the subjects when compared with the rest of the day-time wake-period. This rise was unrelated to sleep, and peak concentrations were seen at 20:00 h. During the luteal phase the magnitude of this evening rise of prolactin was significantly greater (P less than 0.02 at 19:00 h and P less than 0.001 at 20:00 h) when compared with the follicular phase, and was only slightly smaller than the magnitude of the sleep-induced prolactin rise. It is therefore suggested that there may be an intrinsic rhythm in prolactin secretion apart from the sleep-induced rise.
I hope this help

Why is cow insulin a good substitue for human insulin?

Insulin from pigs or cows can cause immune reactions in some people, or people may develop an allergy to the insulin over time and it will be ineffective. Human insulin is not immunogenic and so is preferred.

Is a hemoglobin a hormone?

A hemoglobin is a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood of vertebrates. Its molecule comprises four subunits, each containing an iron atom bound to a heme group.

TO answer your question. THe answer is a big, fat "NO".

What stimulates the ovaries to produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone?

LH stimulates ovaries to produce oestrogen and progesteron.LH stands for Leutanizing hormone.

Does the thyroid produce its own hormones?

No. It is produced in the kidney and the liver.

Where is the receptor for progesterone located?

Classical nuclear progesterone receptor (nPR) exists as two main protein isoforms (types of protein from a single gene) PR-A and PR-B. Progesterone is a steroid hormone allowing diffusion through the lipid membrane of mammalian cells. Therefore nPR-A and B are located in the cytoplasm. They move to the nucleus after ligand (progesterone) binding to control gene expression. Literature also exists to suggest that progesterone receptors exist at the cell surface, both alternative isoforms of nPR and structurally unrelated mPR proteins from a different gene.

How can you get hormone pills?

Estrogen and progesterone are hormones produced by a female's body. In some cases, these hormones are not produced at a sufficient rate. Doctors prescribe estrogen to relieve menopause symptoms and/or to prevent osteoporosis in women who have had hysterectomies.

Is it safe to take clonazepam and estradiol at the same time?

yes clonazepam and estradiol have no drug interactions with each other.

What gland secrets the Fight or Flight hormones?

The pineal gland releases melatonin, which regulates sleep/wake cycles. The adrenal glands release epinephrine, which is the fight or flight hormone.
