Progesterone hormone is important in fertilization because it does what?
Progestrone is a important drug it helps in the ovulation and helps for the pregnancy.
What happens with less vasopressin production?
Too little vasopressin (or antidiuretic hormone) will lead to a condition called diabetes insipidus. This will mean that a person will be thirsty, and will urinate dilute urine (some times 3 to 4 liters per day). Vasopressin is the hormone that causes water to be reabsorbed in the kidneys. If you don't have enough vasopressin, then the kidneys will not reabsorb enough water, and excessive water will be excreted in the urine. This will cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the body. Synthetic antidiuretic hormone is available (vasopressin and DDAVP).
What are nursing interventions when a patient is given oxytocin?
Check vitals every 15minutes and contractions carefully. Check the protocol/policy of the health care agency and follow then. A doctor must remain on site. The worse S.E. is rupture of the uterus. A patient was being given this drug and the doctor told me he was leaving. I told him that I was stopping the drug because he needed to remain on site. He did not leave.
Can CNS stimulants affect prolactin levels?
Prolactin is a hormone and any drug which acts on the CNS can affect hormone levels - either by intent, or as an unintended side effect. CNS stimulants often increase dopanine levels .. and dopamine inhibits the secretion of prolactin (which controls lactation).
Did twista put out a CD before adrenaline rush?

Which hormone plays a big part in arousal in the sports athlete?
It depends on what you mean, If you mean "What hormone increases the performance of an athlete" then the answer is testosterone. This hormone is naturally secreted in much bigger quantities in men than in women, but both men and women secret testosterone.
When an athlete demonstrates overwhelming joy (from winning/scoring a point/game/match) it is usually the testosterone kicking in, that is why the athlete usually fists the air and/or shouts enthusiastically.
What is better regular hormones or bio identical hormones?
Bio-Identical Hormones are much safer. They are derived from all natural ingredients and are not considered to be a cancer risk.
Does erythropoietin help produce white blood cells?
No,it does not.It stimulates production of red blood cells.
What are examples of synergisteric hormones?
When two or more hormones work together to produce a particular result, their effects are said to be synergistic. These effects may be additive or complementary. The action of epinephrine and norepinephrine on the heart is a good example of an additive effect. Each of these hormones separately produces an increase in cardiac rate; acting together in the same concentrations, they stimulate an even greater increase in cardiac rate.
The synergistic action of FSH and testosterone is an example of a complementary effect; each hormone separately stimulates a different stage of spermatogenesis during puberty, so that both hormones together are needed at that time to complete sperm development.
Likewise, the ability of mammary glands to produce and secrete milk requires the synergistic action of many hormones-estrogen, cortisol, prolactin, oxytocin, and others.
What does thrombopoietin stimulate?
Thrombyopoietin stimulates formation and maturation of megakaryocytes and thereby boosts PTL levels.
What causes high insulin levels What are the side effects of high insulin levels?
High insulin levels are usually caused by eating too much high glycemic carbohydrates, those carbohydrates that raise blood sugar rapidly. The body produces insulin to clear the blood of glucose. Also can be caused by high copper levels and high cortisol levels - can be from stress of the mind or body.
What hormone enhances protein synthesis decreases glucose use and promotes the destruction of fats?
enhances protein synthesis, decreases glucose use, and promotes the destruction of fats
ADH and aldosterone secretion are part of the body's long-term compensation for?
Long-term hormonal responses like the release of ADH, angiotensisn II, adosterone, and EPO result from the disturbance of homeostasis by extensive bleeding, reduced blood pressure, and blood volume. Ex. Serious hemorrage.
It's varied roles suggest that it is an ancient hormone with functions that have diversified during the evolution of vertebrate groups.
The Most common cause of excess blood cortisol?
cushing syndrome is the most common cause. other causes include adrenal tumor and ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone producing tumor
