Hormones

hyperglycemic factor

Gastrin is a hormone in the stomach which is released in the presence of food and causes the release of hydrochloric acid (HCl).

Yes, gluconeogenesis is considered one of the primary metabolic effects of cortisol.

Cortisol, a glucocorticoid hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex, plays a key role in maintaining blood glucose levels, especially during fasting or stress. Its main metabolic action is to stimulate gluconeogenesis, which is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like amino acids and glycerol in the liver.

Other important metabolic effects of cortisol include:

Protein catabolism: Breakdown of muscle proteins to provide amino acids for gluconeogenesis

Lipolysis: Mobilization of fat stores for energy

Inhibition of peripheral glucose uptake: Acts as an anti-insulin hormone, reducing glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue

Promotion of glycogen synthesis in the liver despite its hyperglycemic effect

While cortisol has multiple metabolic actions, gluconeogenesis is considered its hallmark effect, particularly during periods of physiological stress or starvation.

High blood pressure. PS it is known as atrial natriuretic peptide.

It's very promising. You should be given progesterone supplements in the form of vaginal suppositories, which is suppose to be the most effective method. (Other options include oral pills or by injection.) Make sure your HCG and progesterone blood levels are monitored every two days to be certain a healthy doubling of HCG is occurring, and also to adjust the progesterone dose accordingly.

thyroxine

For men, the normal level of prolactin is between 3 to 15 mcg/L. For non-pregnant women, it is between 4-23 mcg/L. Having a 16.9 reading is said to be good.

anti diuretic hormone ADH

Definitely

yes a ligand is anything that can change the conformation of a receptor protein. hormones bind to proteins in the same way ligands do

Hormonal induction of labor

They are fight or flight hormones. Ready the body to fight or run

A hormone produced principally by the small intestine in response to the presence of fats, causing contraction of the gallbladder, release of bile, and secretion of pancreatic digestive enzymes

In my biology class this specific questions was asked. A cell secretes a hormone through facilitated diffusion.

affects the sympathetic response of the autonomic nervous system. creates fight or flight response, increase or decrease heart rates, constricting blood vessels

Alcohol (ethanol) acts on the hypothalamus to inhibit ADH secretion. This leads to diuresis and the typical repeated trips to the bathroom while at the bar drinking.

corticosteroids

Can the progesterone blood test detect pregnancy?

Visiting your doctor is the best way to get this list. Many of them will be the same as in other countries, though there may be some restrictions.

insulin

Testosterone and estradiol have different functional groups attached to the same carbon skeleton.

There are two hormones. They are thyroxine and calcitonin

Hormones that target other endocrine glands. Produced by anterior pituitary. Include: FSH, TSH, LH, ACTH.

Anterior Pituitary Makes:

1. Growth Hormone which affects bones & muscles to produce growth.

2. Prolactin which affects the breast for milk secretion.

3. Adrenocorticotropic Hormone which affect adrenal glands to

(a) make aldosterone which affects the kidney to cause it to conserve sodium.

(b) to make cortisol which affects body cells causing stress.

(c) to make androgens which affect the axilla producing hair growth.

4. Thyroid hormone which affects the thyroid to make thyoxine. This acts on body cells and increases metabolism.

5. Gonadotropic Hormones (LH, FSH) which affect the testes causing them to make testosterone. This in turn affects body cells producing male secondary sex

characteristics. This same hormone affects the ovaries to make estrogen which again affects body cells which in turn produce female secondary sex

characteristics. Both males and females make these two sex hormones.

The third effect is on the ovaries to make progesterone which acts on the uterus to maintains pregnancy.

Post Pit makes:

1. Oxyotocin which acts on the breast to cause the breasts to "let down" milk. It also causes the uterus to contract.

2. Antidiuretic hormone which acts on the kidney to conserve water

They also cause the muscles of the uterus to contract, thus helping the uterus shed the lining built up during the first part of a woman's cycle.
