What does female hormones in urine look like?
OK, now I'm no doctor so bear with me. OK, so basically imagine two straws with a balloon on each end. One balloon on the not flexible ends, and one on both flexible ends. Well here you go, it may not be scientist guaranteed, but you have your answer.
What is hypersecretion of insulin?
when insulin is secreted in a high amount than normal. too much insulin= low blood sugar.
What disease can result from antidiuretic hormone deficiency?
Low levels of ADH can cause excessive urination (polyuria) followed by extreme thirst (polydipsia). A rare water metabolism disorder, called central diabetes insipidus, is sometimes the cause of ADH deficiency but low ADH doesn't not cause diabetes insipidus.
For which conditions might you need hormone replacement therapy?
For women menopause rates as a common reason for hormone replacement. Andropause (male menopause)is a leading reason men go on hormone replacement therapy. There are many medical conditions that may call for hormone replacement but menopause is the most common for males and females.
What hormones are stimulated by other hormones?
Almost every hormone effects another in some way. That is how our body maintains homeostasis. Mostly this is done through negative feedback loops, one hormone does it's function until another system releases a counteracting hormone.
There is no short answer for this, endocrinology is an entire science of these interactions, but likely the most commonly heard (and constantly in action) are the RAA system or Renin Angioensin Aldostrone system. Renin tells your body it needs to hydrate so thirst is stimulated (a whole oher system) and Aldosterone is produced to trade ions of sodium for potassium. Sodium then attracts water fom the cells and extra cellular space to increase vascular volume. Angiotensin tells the arteries to contract to increase blood pressure (also through a cascade of reactions including angiotensin I, II, and III). Angiotensin is also what some blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors) work on. When there is suffient vascular volume the negative feedback is from the arteries to begin allowing sodium to be excreted. Disease of the system is seen as SIADH (usually head injury damages Angiotensin II receptors in medulla) od Diabetis Insipidus (inability to maintain fluid electrolyte balance through constant diuresis {peeing}).
An insulin pump can be used as an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin by insulin syringe.
This method is known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy.
What is being controlled in oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland. It is used to start labor or to strengthen it. It can help reduce blood loss after delivery.
Other uses are to keep men faithful, (often referred to as the trust hormone)
As pain relief and as an anti-inflamatory
An aid for dieters
As an antidepressant and stress reliever
is it epinephrine?
How long does it take for adrenaline to take effect?
It only takes about 20 to 30 seconds to start working, and will take a bit longer, anywhere from five minutes to a half hour to get rid of the reaction. Sometimes a second shot of epinephrine may be required.
What does a brain natriuretic peptide do?
When the walls of the atria are stretched by increased blood volume or blood pressure, the cells of the atria produce ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide). ANP's main function is to decrease the reabsorption of sodium ions (by the kidneys) in order to increase the elimination of water (in urine), and decrease blood volume and blood pressure. I'm not sure how much you've studied as far as the endocrine system goes, but it's basically the antagonist to the hormone Aldosterone.
What does the hormone progesterone do?
Progesterone is a steroid hormone that prepares a woman's uterus for pregnancy and maintains the pregnancy if one occurs. If conception does not occur, progesterone levels drop which then signals the body to begin another menstrual cycle. It also performs other minor functions such as increasing thyroid function and libido.
What foods and excises help you produce growth hormones to make you grow big and tall?
Alinine and Glutamine and other amino acids supposedly stimulate Human Growth Hormone (HGH) secretion for about 20 minutes. Some (presumably Zone diet proponents) also say that glucagon stimulates HGH secretion. If this is the case then increasing amino acid or protein intake could just be as good as decreasing the intake of sugar compared with protein and fat. There may be studies that effectively discriminate between these two likely causes.
Aside from food, exercising when you wake up and before dinner will boost it greatly. I saw one study that suggests high intensity workouts (lactic acid system) that last 10 minutes or longer.
Deep sleep triggers the release of HGH.

I seriously hope so .This is absolutely no help at all is what you are thinking . I just want you to know your not the only one .
How long after the progesterone injection does it become effective?
Within half an hour if you are taking progestrone injection.
How do you know if your body is producing to much adrenaline?
Yes- but its fun. It causes shakes, jitters, nausea, vomitting, numbness and tingling sensations. It can also cause heart attack, stroke as well as numerous other conditions.
What does the medical term adrenaline mean?
Adrenaline: A stress hormone produced within the adrenal gland that quickens the heart beat, strengthens the force of the heart's contraction, and opens up the bronchioles in the lungs, among other effects. The secretion of adrenaline is part of the human 'fight or flight' response to fear, panic, or perceived threat. Also known as epinephrine.
What does high TSH thyroid stimulating hormone levels indicate?
What does the test result mean?
NOTE: A standard reference range is not available for this test. Because reference values are dependent on many factors, including patient age, gender, sample population, and test method, numeric test results have different meanings in different labs. Your lab report should include the specific reference range for your test. Lab Tests Online strongly recommends that you discuss your test results with your doctor. For more information on reference ranges, please read Reference Ranges and What They Mean.
A high TSH result often means an underactive thyroid gland that is not responding adequately to the stimulation of TSH due to some type of acute or chronic thyroid dysfunction. Rarely, a high TSH result can indicate a problem with the pituitary gland, such as a tumor producing unregulated levels of TSH. A high TSH value can also occur when patients with a known thyroid disorder (or those who have had their thyroid gland removed) are receiving too little thyroid hormone medication. A low TSH result can indicate an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) or excessive amounts of thyroid hormone medication in those who are being treated for an underactive (or removed) thyroid gland. Rarely, a low TSH result may indicate damage to the pituitary gland that prevents it from producing adequate amounts of TSH. Whether high or low, an abnormal TSH indicates an excess or deficiency in the amount of thyroid hormone available to the body, but it does not indicate the reason why. An abnormal TSH test result is usually followed by additional testing to investigate the cause of the increase or decrease. The following table summarizes test results and their potential meaning. TSH T4 T3 Interpretation High Normal Normal Mild (subclinical) hypothyroidism High Low Low or normal Hypothyroidism Low Normal Normal Mild (subclinical) hyperthyroidism Low High or normal High or normal Hyperthyroidism Low Low or normal Low or normal Nonthyroidal illness; Rare pituitary (secondary) hypothyroidism
Is there anything else you should know?
Many medications - including aspirin and thyroid-hormone replacement therapy - may affect thyroid gland function test results, so tell your doctor about any drugs you are taking. When your doctor adjusts your dose of thyroid hormone, it is important to wait at least one to two months before checking your TSH again so that your new dose can have its full effect. Extreme stress and acute illness may also affect TSH test results, and results may be low during the first trimester of pregnancy. What does the test result mean?

Are tropic hormones steroid or non steroid hormones?
they control the activities of the endocrine glands. they are not steroid related.
Can you get a headache after an adrenaline rush?
this is not valid this is only guessing but your body produces adrenaline at the right amount at the necessary time but there are ways of artafitially putting it into your system like adrenaline needles which can probably harm or kill you if abused but again i am not one hundred percent sure
What hormone works with the parathyroid hormoneto decrease calcium leveles in the blood and tissues?
Calcitocin works with parathormone to regulate the calcium level of body. Parathormone rises the calcium level and calcitonin reduces it.
Which gland that secretes oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. It is best known for its roles in sexual reproduction, in particular during and after childbirth. It is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, facilitating birth, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating breastfeeding.
What hormone helps lower the blood glucose level when it is high?
Insuline and Glucagon control blood glucose.
Insuline: brings down high levels of glucose.
Glucagon: brings glucose levels back to normal, (brings glucose levels up).
Is adderall bad to take while taking progesterone pills?
No, it's not bad. In fact it may make the adderall more effective. It activates the neuroreceptor sites that are stimulated by amphetamine. So while it's not necessarily bad, your dosage may need adjusting. And furthermore your symptoms requiring the adderall may be better managed with balancing of your hormone levels.
What are the disadvantages of synthetic plant hormones?
A hormone synthesized (unnaturally made) by something other than a plant, but made for the plant. And the "artificially" hormone made to act as the natural plant hormone.
