It would be more correct to say that bacteria and yeast can be genetically modified to produce a compound which is chemically identical to human insulin.

What hormone might be deficient when urine is very dilute?
When urine is very dilute, it may indicate a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin. ADH is responsible for regulating water balance in the body by promoting the reabsorption of water in the kidneys. A deficiency in this hormone can lead to conditions such as diabetes insipidus, where the kidneys excrete large volumes of dilute urine.
Hormones are chemical messengers that help regulate such things as growth, metabolism, hunger, sexual arousal and reproductive functioning. Essential hormones include insulin, testosterone, estrogen, human growth hormone, and epinephrine.

Is natural micronized progesterone the same as progesterone?
Yes it is. Natural progesterone is exactly the same molecule as the progesterone produced by the human body. The micronized bit merely refers to the size of the particles in the cream which allows the body to readily absorb it through the skin.

It could be life threatening to you.
What does prostaglandins play a role in?
prostaglandins are a group of closely related arachidonic acid derivatives. they are 20 carbon long chain unsaturated fatty acid.prostaglandins are produced by most of the body cells which are capable of eliciting a variety of of pharmacological responses in the body.
The basic structure comprises of cyclopentane ring, aliphatic side chains with an unsaturation at c-13 and a hydroxyl group at c-15 position.
the prostaglandins have short duration of action,limited availability,high cost producing undesirable effects and parenteral route of administation.
the prostagladins are abrofacient in nature(i.e, they are capable of preventing or terminating the pregnancy). the gestation period of humans is divided into 3 trimesters.PEG1 and PGF2alpha are used for abortion during the first and second trimester.
