Pituitary gland

Steroids are chemicals that can be produced naturally through the adrenal and pituitary glands. Our body uses these to fight off inflammation and assist in growth.The anabolic steroids are produced in laboratories. Originally they were developed to assist with growth, slow starting puberty, or other medical uses. By abusing the natural amount produced by your body can have negative, serious, and sometimes forever lasting consequences. Steroids and their abusive impacts when abused rose first…

adolescence to adulthood. It is extremely detrimental to the person’s health, happiness, and overall wellness when damaged. The body’s stress response system is called the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hypothalamic send signals to the pituitary gland which then sends signals to the adrenal gland. Once the gland receives the signals, it releases stress hormones, adrenaline, and cortisol. For example, if you hear Vinush singing, the body then starts to respond by causing the heart to…

disorientation. Injury to the amygdala may cause increased anxiety and depression, and will affect memory and emotional sensitivity. Damage caused to the pituitary gland has many harmful effects such as, irregular growth rates in children, sex drive irregularity, body temperature irregularity, pain, fatigue, depression, and issues in blood pressure. The pituitary gland…

then it is termed as Primary Hypogonadism. This is caused by chemotherapy or infection and characterized by elevated Luteinizing Hormone. If any disorders like tumors, genital or congenital conditions distract normal functioning of hypothalamic pituitary axis then Secondary Hypogonadism occurs in men. This complication is characterized by lower than normal level of Luteinizing Hormone. Diabetes- Low testosterone level and type-2 diabetes frequently go hand in hand. Studies reveal that men…

diagnosis of either hypo or hyper thyroid can be a mixed blessing. On one hand the individual may be relieved to know what has been causing so many health issues, yet on the other hand it can mean a lifetime of a new medication regimen. The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck and shaped like a small butterfly, and is part of the endocrine system which works to regulate metabolism. Thyroid disease is said to affect 20 million Americans, and more than half of those affected remain…

towards the cell body. The soma, or cell body, makes sense of the information and works It out. It also triggers the action potential and all or nothing response. The axon is a neuron’s extension that sends messages to other neurons or to muscles or glands. It transmits the Impulse, aka the action potential. The axon terminal, or the terminal button is the end of the axon and it houses the synaptic vesicles, synaptic vesicles, and neurotransmitters which are the…

nervous system. Cortisol is a glucocorticoid. It is secreted by the adrenal gland as part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis), particularly in response to stress. Within psychiatric disorders, depression and generalized anxiety disorder are the most common stress related diseases. These illnesses have some links to dysfunctions of neurotransmitters and neurohormones, including the hypothalamo–pituitary– adrenal (HPA) axis (Laurence Lanfumey a,b, *, Raymond Mongeau a,b ,…

Due to some injuries or viral diseases, the hypothalamus or pituitary gland get damaged and might be rendered unable to produce the hormone vasopressin. In some, the kidneys might have defect or be damaged due to certain reasons resulting in inability to respond to vasopressin. This lack of vasopressin or inability to…

mostly used in bodies of water. As a result, data gaps exist concerning effects of TBT on mammals in regard to reproduction, development and mutagenicity. In mammals, high levels of TBT can affect the endocrine glands, upsetting the hormone levels in the pituitary, gonad and thyroid glands. Large doses of TBT have been shown to damage the reproductive and central nervous systems, bone structure, and the gastrointestinal tract of mammals. Chemicals from the paint spread into the surrounding…
