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,…

supporting the ignorance of the everyday things that are the root cause of the slow killing of mass numbers of people. I strongly agree with this as a person has been given the opportunity to be exposed to the knowledge of how destructive GMOs and growth hormones actually are when consumed. The government of course knows these affects, but nothing is done due to the fact that it is a multibillion dollar industry. The government does not provide access to this crucial information to people in…

thyroid organ do? The thyroid gland utilizes iodine from your diet and produces 3 hormones in charge of controlling metabolic rate and advancing healthy development and the improvement of our well-being Thyroxine (T4), a prohormone, which changes over to T3 inside the body Triiodothyronine (T3) which is needed by all the cells and tissues of the body Calcitonin which functions with parathyroid (PTH) hormone to keep up blood calcium levelsthyroid system What is an underactive…

concentrations of active thyroid hormones circulating in the bloodstream. The two thyroid homes that are being overproduced are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) which are used to help control the overall metabolism of the body. When a cat has an overactive thyroid gland the hormones will be released regardless of the anterior pituitary’s release of TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone which is due to an error in the negative feedback system. These thyroid hormones are formed…

Iodine is essential on the new plant and this is why. Iodine is a key component of the hormones made in the thyroid gland. These hormones are absolutely critical to human health, helping to control energy production and utilization in nearly every cell of the body. David Brownstein explains in his books “Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can’t Live Without It”, how iodine is crucial in a person’s life by saying “My experience has shown that iodine in doses ranging from 6-50mg/day is adequate…

Cretinism can also cause mental deterioration, swelling of the…

produces several important hormones that control body functions such as growth, development, reproduction, and metabolism. One of these hormones is growth Hormone (GH). In childhood, GH is important for proper development and growth. In adults GH maintains healthy bone and muscle function. If there is not enough growth hormone, a child will not grow to his potential stature. If there is too much growth hormone a child will grow excessively tall. If there is an excess of growth hormone in an…

It is also anti-inflammatory. Your chances of developing insulin resistance…
