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,…

glands that produce specific hormones. These hormones are released into the blood stream to help regulate the metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood and other functions. When the endocrine system malfunctions it hinders the release of these hormones into the blood stream this ultimately affects the balance of hormones, leading to an endocrine disorder. Endocrine disorders are grouped into two basic categories; hormone imbalance, when the…

doping (Performance-enhancing). Anabolic steroids can be effective with helping athletes get bigger, faster, and stronger, but athletes risk their life and long-term side effects for a sport.

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…
