What hormone is most responsible for preparing the uterus for pregnancy?
Name of this hormone is estrogen.
Why does honey reduce cortisol levels?
Honey reduces cortisol levels by reacting with the reagent IgA to release glucose. With too much glucose in the blood stream, cortisol is not needed in order to stimulate further glucose release.
The body will decrease production of that substance
What is the stimulus for renin?
Renin can be upregulated in two ways:
Macula densa cells in the early distal tubule of the nephron communicates with the juxtaglomerular cells of the afferent arteriole in the kidney. When the macula densa cells detect low levels of sodium, it will communicate that to the juxtaglomerular cells and in turn that will stimulate the production of renin. This is the glomerular tubular feedback system.
The second way it can be stimulated is by the somatic nervous system directly. When the baroreceptors detect a drop in pressure they will stimulate your SNS and inhibit your PNS. This has several cardiovascular effects in addition to stimulating renal nerves that will upregulate more renin from the juxtaglomerular cells.
When were Androgens first discovered?
Also known as androgenic hormone or testoid, androgen was first discovered in 1936. Androgen is a generic term for steroid hormones such as testosterone.
What is a prostaglandin hormone made from?
They are synthesized in the cell from the essential fatty acids (EFAs).
An intermediate arachidonic acid is created from diacylglycerol via phospholipase-A2, then brought to either the cyclooxygenase pathway or the lipoxygenase pathway to form either prostaglandin and thromboxane or leukotriene respectively. The cyclooxygenase pathway produces thromboxane, prostacyclin and prostaglandin D, E and F. Alternatively, the lipoxygenase enzyme pathway is active in leukocytes and in macrophages and synthesizes leukotrienes.

I want to see what I cannot see
What hormone promotes total body growth?
Growth hormone affects the body growth. It is secreted by anterior pituitary.
What hormone activated the sympathetic nervous system?
epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
Is aldosterone released by humoral factors?
Aldosterone is regulated by negative feedback system except in cases of dehydration in which high sodium levels stimulate more production of aldosterone. Normally negative feedback regulates production.
It regulates the amount of Hormones a person is receiving.
