Hormone receptor regulation. Receptor regulation is an important part of endocrine function and this occurs through up or down-regulation of the number of receptors and by desensitization of the receptors.
HORMONES AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers and are part of the endocrine system. Endocrine glands make hormones, which travel through the bloodstream to tissues and organs, and control most of our body’s major systems. The endocrine system regulates our
31 gru 2015 · The endocrine system has profound regulatory effects within the human body and thus the ability to control and maintain appropriate function within many physiological systems (i.e.,...
26 wrz 2022 · The nuclear actions of T3 depend on 4 factors: availability of hormone, thyroid hormone nuclear receptors (TRs), receptor cofactors, and DNA regulatory elements. Within most tissue, T3 enters by simple diffusion.
The endocrine system is always working behind the scenes, regulating various organs by releasing hormones and using feedback loops. This chapter will discuss medications that affect three of the major endocrine glands: the adrenal glands, the pancreas, and the thyroid.
The endocrine system comprises glands and tissues that secrete hormones to regulate and coordinate vital functions in the body. Endocrine glands differ from exocrine glands by releasing their secretions directly into the bloodstream, rather than a central duct.
Hormonal regulation is achieved by the ability of hormones to have specific biologic activity at their target tissues, important for energy production and metabolism, somatic growth and development, reproduction, and ability for the body to respond to internal and external stimuli.
