What is the target of aldosterone?

It is derived from a preprohormone precursor that is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in vesicles at the posterior pituitary. Most of it is stored in the posterior pituitary to be released into the bloodstream; however, some AVP is also released directly into the brain.

AVP IS ALSO CALLED ADH....

Can progesterone make it easier to get pregnant?

I used a wild yam derivetive "natural progesterone" cream which I bought from Amazon and concieved after a few months of use after two years of unsuccessful conception. I can't prove it was the cream, but I'm convinced it made the difference.

Can progesterone cream help you avoid a miscarriage?

It helped me.

I had had six healthy babies, all around 2 years apart, and with my seventh, all of the sudden around 8 weeks i started to miscarry. Friends in the States told me to try progesterone, but i couldn't get it fast enough through our health care system (it isn't as readily available in Canada), and i lost that baby.

I was pregnant again just over a month later, and this time i went straight to my doctors and got progesterone, which i took until i was around 6 months pregnant. Every time i tried to go off, something weird would happen, and i'd go back on and be fine.

My little baby was born in March 08, and I'm so glad i had friends who had good advice for me. I would have hated to lose this little one as well...

What is the difference between receptors for steroid hormones and Peptide hormone?

What disorders are there of insulin?

Diabetes mellitus

A chronic condition associated with abnormally high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood.. Absence or insufficient production of insulin (which is produced by the pancreas and lowers blood glucose) causes diabetes. The two types of diabetes are referred to as insulin dependent (type I) and non-insulin dependent (type II).

How would the feedback mechanism function to restore homeostasis after low thyroid stimulating hormone?

High levels of TSH initially increases the level of thyroid hormone (TH). When the TH levels get high, the feedback mechanism starts to work: The excess amount of TH in the blood signals the pituitary gland to decrease secretion of TSH, which decreases the amount of TSH that is secreted by the pituitary gland, and maintains homeostatis.

What risks are associated with a plasma renin activity?

Risks for this test are minimal, but may include slight bleeding from the puncture site, fainting or feeling lightheaded after venipuncture, or hematoma (blood accumulating under the puncture site).

Hope you learned something...

How are thyroid hormones stored?

They are stored in the colloid as the protein thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin is essentially T3 and T4 linked together into a protein.

What hormone stimulates endometrium growth?

Estrogen is responsible for the growth of the endometrium, or uterine lining. The progesterone added at ovulation changes its growth pattern. This is why unopposed estrogen, as with poorly-planned estrogen replacement therapy or in the case of metabolic diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome, can lead to overgrowth ("hyperplasia") of the uterine lining.

Which one is the main primary target tissue of Parathyroid hormone the kidney or bones?

The main primary target tissue of the Parathyroid hormone is the bone, but the kidneys are a target as well.

Which cells release glucagon in response to low blood sugar?

What is the human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test?

Hormone naturally produced in women is hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin.) HGC is produced in the cells that make up the placenta during pregnancy. It is this hormone that is detected in both blood and urine pregnancy tests.
