Will an obese man have huge breasts if he takes women hormones?

There is no simple answer to this question regarding cortisol. It is an excellent drug to reduce inflammation on a short term basis, although there will be side effects, such as hunger, inability to sleep, and irritability just to mention a few. These are generally benign symptoms that resolve once the patient is no longer taking the drug. Commonly known as prednisone, this is one of the best drugs we have to treat inflammatory disease. If it is needed on a long term basis, it causes problems. It is very irritating to the body. It suppresses your body's ability to produce it's own cortisol. This is why we gradually lower the dose before discontinuing the drug, thus allowing one's body to respond and resume producing it's own cortisol.(Which is normal). Cortisol is a stress hormone secreted by the adrenal glands. It helps maintain a normal physiologic balance in the body. But too much is trouble. Unfortunately, cortisol is the best thing we have going for us when it comes to treating severe inflammatory disease. Most of these inflammatory diseases are autoimmune in nature, meaning your body recognizes it's own tissue as foreign and mounts an inflammatory response to fight back. Long term issues are weight gain, elevated blood sugar(diabetes), muscle weakness/wasting, delayed wound healing, osteoporosis(bone disintegration), cataracts, and psychosis. It will prolong quality of life for a time. I hope your situation is a short term one. I hope this information will be helpful to you.
Ovaries produce which hormone inhibin or prolactin?
hormone that stimulates milk production and the secretion of progesterone in mammals; hormone which stimulates secretion from the crop gland in birds. prolactin gonadotropic hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary; in females it stimulates growth of the mammary glands and lactation after parturition [syn: lactogenic hormone, luteotropin].

Why is adrenaline called emergency hormone?
it is called an emergency hormone because during emergencies, it is secreted and therefore adrenaline rush happens which refers to an activity of the adrenal gland in a fight-or-flight response, when it is releasing adrenaline (epinephrine).
Adrenalin is often referred to as 'emergency hormones' because they are released when a person feels excited. Thus it is this hormone that often give people the strength to do otherwise-impossible deeds and prevent emergencies.

Well then maybe you need to get busy and try to make that baby. Good Luck.
What is the relation between histamine and prostaglandins?
The process of follicle rupture has been described as an inflammatory reaction in which prostaglandins (PGs) and/or histamine may be involved. With an in vitro perfused rabbit ovary preparation, experiments were carried out for determination of whether a relationship exists among PGs, histamine, and ovulation. PGF2 alpha alone was capable of inducing ovulation when added to the perfusion fluid at 1, 10, and 100 ng/ ml. Effectiveness in achieving ovulation varied directly with the dosage; however, the ovulatory efficiency of PGF2 alpha-treated ovaries was lower than that of ovaries exposed to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG, 100 IU). PGF2 alpha-induced ovulation could not be blocked by the H2 receptor antagonist, cimetidine. The PG synthesis inhibitor, indomethacin, did not prevent histamine-induced ovulation. Ovulation induced by hCG was partially blocked by the administration of indomethacin; however, the concomitant administration of cimetidine was not associated with further reduction in ovulation. In all but one experimental group, the majority of ovulated ova did not progress beyond the intact germinal vesicle stage unless the ovaries had been exposed to hCG. On the basis of these experiments, PGs and histamine do not appear to be interdependent in their effects on the ovulatory process in vitro.

Is Androstenedione legal to buy in the US?
No.
Androstenedione is a dietary supplement promoted to increase levels of the hormone testosterone. The FDA no longer allows androstenedione to be marketed as a dietary supplement in the United States due to safety issues, and it is banned from use at most amateur and professional athletic events.
At 5 weeks LMP the average hCG level is: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml. So your hCG level is completely normal at 650 mIU/ml.
Progesterone level during the first trimester is (on average) 9 - 47. A level of '6' at 5 weeks LMP maybe a little low or maybe completely normal for YOU! If you are not having any problems I would advice you to follow your doctor's suggestions or get a second opinion if you don't agree with him/her.
I you are having symptoms a retest done 72 hours after the first test should be concidered.
How does adrenaline get into the heart?
The adrenal glands secrete adrenaline which enters the blood stream, and is carried by the blood to the heart.
What will a deficiency in growth hormone cause?
In bone formation, a deficiency of growth hormone will cause DECREASED PROLIFERATION OF THE EPIPHYSEAL PLATE CARTILAGE.
What is the function of progesterone?
Progesterone inhibits lactation during pregnancy, allow for the acceptance of the pregnancy, converts the endometrium to its secretory stage to prepare the uterus for implantation, affects the vaginal epithelium and cervical mucus and also decreases contractility of the uterine muscle.
Why would a doctor prescribe erythropoietin?
