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.

Which hormone is responsible for inhibiting the rel ase of g stric juice?
The hormone responsible for inhibiting the release of gastric juice is known as gastric inhibitory polypeptide.
What organ produces a secretion that contains fructose prostaglandins and fibrinogen?
seminal gland (seminal vesicle)
They are synthesized from fatty acids, specifically from Arachidonic acid.
To prepare the body for a sudden fright or shock. It is commonly known as the "fight or flight horomone."
Hormones are a kind of biochemical messengers. Most hormones are chemical substances produced by specialized tissue formations called endocrine glands. The substances are secreted directly into the bloodstream, other body fluids, or into adjacent tissues. The purpose of hormones is to regulate metabolic activity of some other organs or tissues of the body.
Three different ways hormones act:
1. Alter the rate of synthesis of your cellular protein.
2. Change the rate of enzyme activity.
3. Change the rate of transport of nutrients through the cell wall.
yes it will probably effect is sexual abilities.
How do leukotriene modifiers treat asthma?
Leukotriene modifiers are among a newer type of drug that can be used in place of steroids, for older children or adults who have a mild degree of persistent asthma.
What hormone is not released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland?
Estrogen is a hormone that is not released by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. There are several hormones that are released by this lobe including lutropin.
Where is the hormone inhibin produced?
Inhibin is produced in the Sertoli cells in the testis and in the granulosa cells in the ovary.
Adrenaline and Cortisole are stress hormones.They are secreted by adrenal glands.
What hormones is only used by males?
Testosterone is vital to a man’s health. Men have estrogen too, it’s just in much smaller quantities than women, so it plays less of a role. Estrogen levels rise in men around middle age as more testosterone is converted to estrogen, so that they experience more of the estrogen-like effects such as being more emotional (‘softer’ emotionally and physically).
What will happen if you take too much of ethinyl estradiol when you are 2 week pregnant?
Nothing. Birth control pills can not make you abort. They can work as morning after pills to prevent pregnancy but once you are pregnant that is too late. if you seek abortion you need to see a doctor.
What hormone increases blood calcium hormones?
If you are looking for the one hormone that does this, then the answer is parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced in the parathyroid glands.
A more technical description is given below:
Three hormones act in the body to increase blood calcium levels to normal. These hormones are 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin that originate respectively from the liver and kidneys, parathyroid glands, and thyroid glands. The first, 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (active vitamin D3), serves to increase calcium absorption from the intestine. The second, PTH, dissolves bone into the blood. The third, calcitonin, prevents the bone-derived calcium from being resorbed ("reabsorbed") into the bone from which it came via PTH. To summarize, these three hormones act in concert to raise calcium levels via external and internal routes.

When do you give Epinephrine after 1st dose of vasopressin in treating cardiac arrest?
after Amiodarone, pressor,antiarrhythmic,pressor,antiarrhythmic
What is the difference between noradrenaline and adrenaline?
Both norad and adrenaline increases BP, but by different mechanism...
> Adreanaline increases BP by constricting blood vessles
>Noradrenaline Increases BP by increasing HR > Increase Impulse conduction > increase contraction > Increaseing volume expelled> thus increasing BP
> Noradrenaline causes: (i) constriction of the cutaneous vessels; (ii) constriction
of the vessels in skeletal muscle (adrenaline causes transient vasodilatation);
(iii) bradyeardia (adrenaline causes tachycardia); (iv) rise in both
systolic and diastolic pressures (adrenaline causes a rise in systolic pressure and
either does not effect or causes a slight fall in diastolic pressure).
Libin George (Apollo Victor Hospitals)Cortisol is the stress hormone and helps you cope with danger by increasing energy. If the stress hormones are elevated too much, people can suffer from symptoms such as premature aging, fatigue, mood swings and gastrointestinal problems. One way to reduce the level of cortisol in the body is to limit caffeine intake. Caffeine promotes cortisol production and can increase levels by 30 percent in only an hour. Other ways to lower cortisol include sleeping longer, exercising regularly, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, or taking supplements to reduce stress.
In which organ system is insulin produced?
I believe it's the endocrine system....insulin is produced by the pancreas...
What is the function of hormones?
Hormones are a chemical control system within an organism (plants and animals). Their function is to control the physiological activities within the body, maintaining its proper operation.
In humans, glands (such as the endocrine glands) secrete hormones to regulate cellular activities, and control the health and operation of various organs in the body.
Hormones are like messengers in your body that give orders to your cells to do particular things. They are chemicals that are manufactured by glands and released into the bloodstream, sort of holding a sign up with a type of cell's name on it (like a limo driver at the airport waiting to pick up a client.) Most cells ignore the hormone, but when it comes across the right one its chemical "message" is read and the cell starts to do what it has been told. This message could be a lot of different things, but generally it is meant to keep the body functioning and in balance.
Here are some things that hormones do for the body. Remember, though, they are only the "messengers" that start the cells into action. They go out into the body when told to by a higher power (the gland) and it's the cell that actually does the work.
- make people grow or stop growing,
- make people feel happy or sad,
- speed up or slow down the metabolism,
- starting puberty,
- regulating your fighting, mating, and fleeing instincts.
In general, hormones are chemical messengers in the body and is how different parts of the body communicate with each other. To get more specific than that, it really depends on what hormones you're talking about. Some help with other hormones, some give you sensations (make you tired, hungry, etc.), and some help with puberty. You have to be more specific; there are LOTS of things that hormones do. Control: they control cellular activities. Control: they control cellular activities.
There are literally dozens of hormones released by the endocrine system. Their functions are too diverse to enumerate here, but in general they all play a large part in the regulation of body functions. These include growth and development, immune system function, responses to stress and other emotions, basal metabolic rate, pair bonding, and sexual reproduction, to name a few.

What effect does insulin have on sugar?
Insulin allows glucose(sugar) to enter the body's cells. Insulin also stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and store it for later use. The end effect is blood sugar is decreased.
