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 tissue system synthesizes hormones?
epithelium tissue. the pancreas secretes insulin through endocrine glands of the islet of pancreatic langerhorns. There are also other forms of epithelium that secrete hormones.
What hormones are produced and released in the brain?
A hormone, wherever it is formed, that is delivered to the target tissue via the blood is called an endocrine (endo = within + crine = to secrete) hormone. They may be or protein or steroid structure.
Neurons that make hormones are located in the hypothalamus. The hormones produced are oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone which are stored in the posterior pituitary (neurohypothalamus). They are still distributed as the other endocrine hormones are.
How long do you take progesterone during pregnancy?
It depends on your levels. Typically, progesterone is taken from the very beginning of pregnancy (sometimes before) until about 12 weeks, when the placenta takes over the functions of the ovaries. Frequent blood draws will indicate when you can begin weaning off the progesterone.
What structure produces aldosterone?
The adrenal cortex, where aldosterone is produced, is part of the adrenal gland.
What endocrine organ produces vasopressin?
Vasopressin is produced in the postieror pituitary gland. This glad also produces oxytocin.
Does progesterone effect your birth control?
well it depends what your on, if your on 'the pill' then yes it will effect your progesterone levels you see the pill is simply a fake dose of oestrogen and progesterone, this lifts your bodies level of these hormones as they will do when you fall pregnant ( it pretty much fools your body into thinking its pregnant threoug fake hormones)
Why would you feel a rush of adrenaline for no apparent reason?
Anxiety can cause you to get random adrenaline rushes that seem to appear for no reason.
There is also a type of tumor called a pheochromocytoma that causes the periodic secreation of adrenaline. A physician can evaluate the condition and determine the correct diagnosis.
What is an example of a hormone that isn't a protein?
There are many, many examples. The following are completely arbitrary:
For instance, the most abundant protein in the blood is albumin, which is also the chief protein of egg whites.
Another example is titin, the largest naturally occurring protein currently known.
Hemoglobin is a major protein studied in biochemistry. It is involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a protein channel that is defective in the disease cystic fibrosis.
What is the peak time when administering regular insulin and NPH insulin?
the peak time for Regular insulin is 4 hours and the peak time for NPH is 8 hours. I take both of them.
It is a hormone produced by stomach.Itg stimulates secretion of gastric juice.
It is not peptine,it is peptide.They are hormones composed of proteins.
Is the overproduction of the parathyroid hormone?
Hyperparathyroidism or over production of parathyroid hormone causes pain in bones and pathological fractures of bones. Due to this problem, you have increased bone resorption and so that is the result of the same.
Human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by the what gland?
placenta.
Human chorionic gonadotropin is produced by the placenta. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, the kidneys excrete large amounts of the hormone in the urine. Pregnancy kits test for this hormone in the urine to confirm an early pregnancy.
What are Men hormones and women hormones?
The question seems to reflect the common thought among laypeople that there are "male hormones" and "female hormones". Traditionally these roles have been ascribed to testosterone and estrogen/progesterone, respectively. Indeed, the equivalence of testosterone as a "male hormone" is suggested even by early (circa 1930s) scientific descriptions of the chemical: it belongs to a class of hormones called androgens, which is from the Greek andros "man" and genao "to make".
Later work revealed that all sex hormones, including testosterone, the estrogens, and progesterone, are made by both sexes, albeit in different amounts. The notion of a gender-specific hormone was essentially moot.
Essentially, there is at least one example of a gender-specific hormone that's important during human (and primates in general) embryonic development. That's the testis-determining factor (TDF) encoded on the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome (SRY). Because it's encoded on the Y chromosome, only genetic males possess it. Thus TDF can be considered a gender-specific hormone.
I'm curious about the use of the term "gender" in "gender-specific" as opposed to the term "sex", as in "sex-specific". I think the latter would be more correct, as we're talking about biological sex and not gender identity.

What is a low testerone level?
Testosterone is a hormone produced in males. It's typically decreased by age 30. It's can be due to aging or a failure of the gonads, testes in men to function properly. The falls in the normal testosterone levels is known as low testosterone or low 'T'.
Cortisol or hydrocortisone is a steroid hormone that is sythesized and secreted by the adrenal cortex in the presence of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). It's a stress hormone. It increases blood pressure and blood sugar and decreases immune responses.
