Follicle-stimulating hormone

Leptin The gene LEP is found in chromosome 7 in humans. It is a protein of 167 amino acids with a four-helix bundle motif similar to that of a cytokine. It is produced mostly in the white adipose tissue. It then circulates in the bloodstream at fluctuating levels, depending on the circumstances of its production. For example, Leptin levels are normally higher at the hours between midnight and early morning; it is assumed that this is to suppress appetite during sleep. Leptin is believed to enter…

Performance-enhancing substances Performance-enhancing substances is one of the most important concerns for athletes till this day. These substances are outlawed in every league, but athletes still find a way to cheat and continue to find ways to get an edge over their competitors. These substances are used to improve performances of athletes and gives them an advantage. When taking these drugs it affects your body in many ways as growth of muscles but doesn’t change the fact that is is still…

It plays an important role in hormone balance and metabolism and any imbalance can largely affect the rest of the body. This paper will address the four major types of autoimmune disease associated with the thyroid and the genes and environmental influences that play a role in these diseases. First off, where is exactly is the thyroid and what is its purpose? The thyroid is a small gland located in the neck just below the Adam’s apple. This gland produces hormones called Thyroxine and…

result of the thyroid gland producing an overabundance of hormones. Deception occurs within the immune system of our body, eliciting a release of false, abnormal antibodies that are trying to imitate the normal chemical thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, by latching to the thyroid hormone receptor, TSHR, on the epithelial cells of the thyroid gland (Jin, Lawless, Sehgal, & Mchenry, 2012). This latching produces a plethora of thyroid hormones, T3 and T4, a process called hyperthyroidism…

CJC-1295 (DAC): PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CJC-1295 (DAC) is tretasubtitute peptide hormone which is an improved version of GRF 1-29 with DAC (Drug affinity complex). It is a synthetic hormone that imitates the functioning of GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone or growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF)), as such, it is a growth hormone secretagogue. CJC-1295 (DAC) has a longer half-life compared to GHRH (1-29) as a result of its enhanced pharmacokinetics. These improvements are achieved as a result…

will be genetically male,” (Ginsberg, Nackerud & Larrison, 2004, p. 198). On the other hand if the chromosomes from each parent is XX the child will be female. Hormones also play a role in different sex characteristics as they are often the reason why men and women have different physical and emotional attributes. For example, the hormone testosterone in males helps create the growth of male reproductive organs, which comes from the Y chromosome. Females do not need the Y chromosome or…

skyrocketing, numerous Americans are seeking out health care practitioners who specialize in treating disorders of the endocrine system. Your endocrine system, which includes glands such as your thyroid, adrenals, pituitary gland, and others, produces hormones that influence growth, metabolism, reproduction and sexual development. Diabetes and thyroid disorders are two of the most prevalent diseases of the endocrine system. The former, diabetes, occurs when your pancreas does not produce enough…

is to produce two specific thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), and secrete calcitonin that circulates continuously from the gland through the blood to all parts of the body. In fact, thyroid hormones are essential for operating “almost all the cells in the body, regulating basal metabolic rate, lipid metabolism, body temperature, carbohydrate metabolism, and all aspects of linear growth” (Burkhart 55). The pituitary produces the hormone thyrotropin, which is commonly…

squats, bench press, deadlifts, etc.  Interval resistance training  ESTROGEN Estrogen is the primary hormone for the female body, but both men and women require this hormone to properly function. We often assume that men have no need for estrogen, but on the contrary it is very much required to keep your body in perfect hormonal balance. This essential hormone is only good for our bodies in the right amount, and when levels begin to rise we suffer negative effects similar to having…
