and released from hypothalamic neurons are the growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH), Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), Prolactin-releasing hormone (PRH) and prolactiaen-inhibiting hormone (PIH). These hormones are stimulated and secretion from the anterior pituitary gland.…
produced in three different areas of the brain. The areas of the brain that are affected by Dopamine are the hypothalamus, substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area. Dopamine is linked to movement, memory, attention, inhibition of prolactin production, learning, sleep, mood, pleasurable reward, behavior, pain processing and cognition in the body. Symptoms of dopamine deficiencies are lack of motivation, fatigue, procrastination, inability to feel pleasure, low libido, sleep…
controls may of its functions. Some key hormones the pituitary gland is responsible for are: growth hormones, thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH), luteinizing hormones (LH), follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH), prolactin, antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin), and oxytocin (Kemp, 2018).…
Medical Marijuana’s Benefits Medical marijuana (cannabis oil) is today’s hidden jewel for the treatment of side effects caused by chemotherapy, which is commonly used as a main treatment for cancer patients. Research has shown its effectiveness in combating the side effects of chemotherapies used to treat various cancers. A common side effect experienced while being subjected to chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting. In a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, “Anecdotal accounts…
7. What hormone does an “ovulation” test probably detect? Why? An “ovulation” test probably detects the ovulating hormone, which is LH. This is because LH triggers ovulation, in which the egg is released from the ovary. LH is also important in the development of the corpus luteum. 8. What are the functions of the uterine tubes? The uterine tubes, or fallopian tubes, receive the ovulated oocyte, allow for the transport of sperm towards the egg, and then they provide a place for…
Have you ever found yourself crying to the saddest song you have on your playlist, or maybe dancing around with your friends to the most upbeat song you know of? Whether you realize it or not, music affects our mood on daily bases. Music is a part of us. Most of us encounter some kind of music, just in the first few hours of the day! Think about it. A lot of us wake up to blaring alarms of our loud music in the morning, dance in the steamy shower, play our favorite songs while getting ready,…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Weston, Florida) MedlinePlus.gov reports that hormone production changes during the aging process. Certain hormones increase their production, blood levels of other hormones decrease and some remain stable. Furthermore, the body tends to metabolize these hormones more slowly. For example, cells in the body become less sensitive to insulin as a person ages, with the average rating level rising every ten years after a person reaches the age of 50. As a result, many…
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…
stimulating hormone (FSH) is elevated in almost one hundred percent of the cases. Elevated levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and low to normal total testosterone levels may also be present. Other diagnostic tests that can be ordered are estradiol, prolactin, (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), fasting blood sugar, and total cholesterol. A complete blood count and bone scan may be ordered to check for anemia and osteoporosis that are also findings of KS (Nieschlag, 2013). Ultrasound is…
such as, memory, concentration, and learning efficiency. Lastly, the biochemical effects benefit us by decreasing blood glucose, sodium, total cholesterol and LDL while increasing HDL, Catecholamines decrease, hemoglobin increases, oxytocin and prolactin increase as well as oxygen levels in the brain increase (Lamb,2004). This is just a handful of the benefits the list goes…
