Gonadotropin-releasing hormone

Endocrine disruptors is the given name for a group of chemicals that, at certain doses, can interfere with the hormone system within mammals as well as fish and amphibians. They can be naturally occurring chemicals e.g. Arsenic, or manmade chemicals e.g. hormonally active substances excreted by humans using certain pharmaceutical products, as well as a number of chemicals derived from everyday cosmetics, plastics and personal care products. These disruptors can lead to a variety of debilating…

not the benefits that using certain compounds affords us is worth the damage they can potentially cause is the basis for the ongoing controversy. Endocrine disruptors have the ability to act like hormones already present in the body and can therefore result in overstimulation. They can also block hormones from properly binding and effect how they are produced and maintained. Many problems exist but not many solutions. It is difficult to ban chemicals that are also relied upon for massive…

The Endocrine System is considered to be an integrative system because the hormones which are produced by this system act at the distance, many of those substances act in the different organs. The endocrine system and nervous system work together to coordinate functions of all systems in human body, they are responsible for maintaining the internal environment, nearly all physiological processes are affected by the hormones. They regulate almost all body function starting from metabolism, grow…

physical activity. She stated that women in Bolivia and other cultures are exposed to a higher physical activity from childhood, and therefore, are not affected by this. From gathering this data, she wants to further her research and understand why hormone levels are significantly lower in Bolivian women compared to women in the United States. In the last ten years, Bolivian women and women in other cultures have started to use more contraceptives. The issue is that they are showing an…

In the article, Hormones: Their Effect on the Oral Cavity, it first talks about the cause of periodontal disease. It says that plaque is the primary factor in the development of periodontal disease along with systemic and local factor. In this article, the author explains how different hormones work in our body and how they can cause periodontal disease. For example, the ovaries produce sex hormones that play a role in the female reproductive system. These sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone…

Special glands secrete chemicals which travel throughout our body and bind to complimentary receptors (Barnes, 2014). These chemicals, or hormones, are responsible for regulating growth, behavior and many more aspects of our bodies and behavior. In recent times scientists have recognized toxic chemical substances, which mimic the behavior of our natural hormones. These substances have been recognized as endocrine disruptors. They disrupt and obstruct the normal operation of the endocrine system…

cortisol is used to decrease the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone. ACTH is used by the pituitary gland which stimulates the adrenal gland. However, people with CAH have a genetic limitation where they are unable to produce correct amounts of cortisol. Without cortisol to exert a negative feedback on ACTH, it continues to be secreted causing the adrenal gland to secrete larger amounts of hormones. When there is an over secretion of hormones it over develops the adrenal glands and produces…

and release hormones. The neoplastic cells secrete the hormone normally produces by the cells of the gland, but they are not responding to negative feedback which controls mechanisms so hormones re secreted in an inappropriate and excessive manner. Because an endocrine tumor develops from cells that produce hormones, the tumor itself can produce hormones and cause serious illness. 2.) Hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla are, epinephrine or also known as adrenaline. This hormone responds…

I Blame the Hormones By: Taylor Aubin Organs and tissues that make up the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, thymus, suprarenal glands, pineal gland, parathyroid glands, heart, kidneys, adipose tissue, digestive tract, pancreas, and gonads. The effects of the endocrine system are vast and impact almost every organ and cell of the body. This system produces hormones that help maintain homeostasis through the regulation of metabolism, growth, tissue function,…

that theory. The emotional systems of men are timed with biological reproduction abilities and driven by hormones or the lack of them hormones such as Testosterone, Vasopressin and Estrogen. Gender behavior patterns that are instilled in men such as not showing emotion such as through crying and through doing boy orientated activities challenge doing gender in the face of overriding hormones. Testosterone plays a major role in the wellbeing of men throughout their lifetime and biological…
