Hormones (Acne)

Chemical substances produced by the body that, depending on the hormone, govern many body processes. Certain hormones cause physical maturation during puberty. These are the ones implicated in acne.

Hormones (Anthromorphemics)

Complex molecules produced by the endocrine glands that regulate many bodily functions and processes.

Hormones (Anthropology)

Complex molecules produced by the endocrine glands that regulate many bodily functions and processes.

Hormones (Anti-Aging)

Biological compounds that communicate information at a distance. Hormones require specific receptors to begin their biological action and use second messengers to initiate the cellular process that uses that information.

Hormones (Biology)

1. Biochemical substances produced within plant or animal cells, or glands, that exert a particular effect.

Hormones (Bodybuilding)

Fats similar to, and usually synthesized from, cholesterol, starting with Acetyl-CoA, moving through squalene, past lanosterol, into cholesterol, and, in the gonads and adrenal cortex, back to a number of steroid hormones. Because they stimulate cell growth, either by changing the internal structure or increasing the rate of proliferation, they are often called anabolic steroids.

Hormones (Breast Cancer)

Chemical substances produced in one part of the body and carried in the blood to another part of the body, where it has specific effects.

Hormones (Cancer)

Chemicals produced by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream.
Hormones control the actions of certain cells or organs.

Hormones (Clinical Trials)

Chemicals made by glands in the body. Hormones circulate in the bloodstream and control the actions of certain cells or organs. Some hormones can also be made in a laboratory.

Hormones (Contraception)

Chemical messengers that control hundreds of specific body functions. Some hormones, like estrogen in women and testosterone in men, have a role in producing the sex differences between men and women.

Hormones (Dairy Production)

The chemical messengers secreted by endocrine (ductless) glands that interact to determine many physiologic phenomena. The reproductive cycles and the initiation and daily function of lactation are under the control of several interacting hormones.

Hormones (Day Spa)

Substances that regulate growth and metabolism.

Hormones (Endocrinology)

Chemicals secreted into the bloodstream in small amounts by glands located throughout the body. Hormones "set in motion" many life processes-growth, puberty, reproduction, and metabolism.

Hormones (Erectile Dysfunction)

Chemicals that stimulate or regulate the activity of cells or organs.

Hormones (Factory Farms)

Chemicals found naturally in animals' bodies that control processes like growth and metabolism. Synthetic (man-made) hormones have been developed for a number of purposes, including treatment of hormonal disorders in people, and also for promotion of unnaturally fast growth in farm animals. One of the most well-known and controversial hormones used in farming is recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone or rBGH, which is genetically engineered and injected into dairy cattle. (See rBGH.) Scientists have linked excess hormones to cancer.

Hormones (Female Health)

Naturally occurring substances produced by endocrine glands that have effects throughout the body. They travel in the blood stream and act through receptors in multiple tissues.

Hormones (Fitness)

Regulators of various biological processes through their ability to control the action of enzymes. Made from proteins, such as insulin for blood sugar control, or cholesterol for testosterone control.

Hormones (Gynecological)

Chemical substances created by the body that control numerous body functions.

Hormones (Gynecology)

Chemical substances created by the body that control numerous body functions.

Hormones (Health)

Chemical substances created by the body that control numerous body functions.

Hormones (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

Biological compounds that communicate information at a distance. Hormones require specific receptors to begin their biological action and use second messengers to initiate the cellular process that uses that information.
Hormonal (PCa)
Hormonal therapy is based on the fact that prostate cancer cells frequently use the male hormone, testosterone, as fertilizer, and the absence of testosterone leads to the death or weakening, (apoptosis), of many, but not all, prostate cancer cells.As a result, many patients with incurable prostate cancer, (Stage D and late Stage C), can have their life extended and quality of life improved by the use of hormonal therapy.

Hormones (Liver, Biliary and Pancreatic Di)

Chemical substances created by the body that control numerous body functions.

Hormones (Lymphoma)

Chemicals produced by glands in the body. Hormones control the actions of certain cells or organs.

Hormones (Menopause)

The body's chemical messengers. Estrogen and progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone) are the main hormones involved in the reproductive process.

Hormones (Science)

A chemical regulator that is produced in glands and affects other parts of the body; a chemical messenger

Hormones (Sexual Health)

Chemicals that guide the changes in our bodies and influence how glands and organs work.

Hormones (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

Chemicals/substances/things that a body makes to help other organs do their job.

Hormones (Weight Loss)

Chemical messenger substances in the body that are released into the blood from one location and that bind to target tissues at other locations and elicit specific responses. Insulin is a hormone
