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.
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....
What are Thyroid Stimulating Hormones?
Thyroid stimulating Harmones amino acids derivatives, these harmones control and regulate the body metabolism. 60-70% thermogenesis of the body is done by thyroid harmones.

Insulin is made in the pancreas. It helps to control the concentration of sugar in your blood. People who suffer from diabetes arent able to make enough insulin, therefore they inject it to control their blood sugar. x
Oxytocin and ADH are produced by the?
The posterior pituitary gland, a.k.a, neurohypophysis. These are the only 2 hormones that are secreted from here.
What does insulin maintain in the body?
well actually it does. equilibrium is the internal balance of the body to prevent harm that can be done by outside forces. certain foods can cause your blood (glucose) levels and you body's job, specifically the pancreas in this case, is to restore your blood back to normal.
P.S. im not an adult. i talk like one though. im only 15. :). but i know what im talking about.
What plays a role in synthesis of steroid based hormones and protein?
The Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum, catalyze reactions involved with:
synthesis of steroid based hormones like sex hormones.
