A Lecture On Natural Versus Synthetic Hormones

and fallopian tubes. Estrogen also stimulates the growth of the external female genitalia and breasts. Fat distribution in the female is also controlled by estrogen. The non-reproductive functions of estrogen include reduction of LDL (bad cholesterol) and an increase in HDL (good cholesterol). Estrogen also preserves bone strength by slowing down cells involved in bone break down. Estrogen concentrations in the body decrease post menopause which is why women suffer from osteoporosis later in life (Parl, 2000). Estrogen utilizes a positive feedback loop by increasing the production of gonadotropin releasing hormone in the hypothalamus which then increases the release of FSH and lutenizing hormone. This increase in FSH and LH prepare the uterus

The chapter starts out by mentions Naperville, which is a school that uses advice from Dr. Ratey to provide help students prime their brains for learning by using exercise. (1) It also mentions new information about brain pathways and connections, and the brain’s plasticity. Since the book is advertised to everyone, Dr. Ratey breaks down how the brain/nerve cells function and the most important neurotransmitters. A nerve cell functions is by having and electrical signal travel down the axon until it reaches the synapse. Once at the synapse a neurotransmitter takes the message from the axon to of the first cells and goes to the receptor of the receiving cell. The receiving cell can either stop the message if it doesn’t receive enough of the stimuli or if it reaches its threshold will fire the message down its axon to the next cell in the nerve pathway.

Today in the athletic community, young and old, everybody is trying to trump their competitors by getting the edge over them wether its running faster, jumping higher, lifting more weight, or just simply performing better overall. However some of these athletes are after the same end goal but they are taking a different path to get there. Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) are becoming more and more common among younger athletes these days. There has been much talk with doctors, coaches and parents about the controversy and misconceptions about these drugs and how more athletes are taking these performance enhancing drugs and how they can have many side affects, positive and negative. The goal of this paper is to state that the negative side affects out weigh the potential benefits of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS).

Please describe in detail the structures and features you observed on the adrenal gland slide

The examination was done in the lab of Richard Andersen, James G. Boswell Professor of Neuroscience, T&C Chen Brain-Machine Interface Center Leadership Chair, and executive of the T&C Chen Brain-Machine Interface Center. A paper portraying the work shows up in the April 10 issue of the diary eLife.

     In this paper I will be focusing on the positive and negative aspects of hormonal replacement therapy. To understand replacement therapy we first need to look at what occurs in a women’s body during menopause. As a woman is my 40’s like so many others, I will be in need of this information in the not so distant future, and as such this topic serves a considerable purpose. Awareness and education in this area can alleviate problems and make what could be a traumatic experience more manageable thereby raising the quality of ones life. Hopefully, women today will no longer have to

These rearrangements are integral to the adaptive nature of the brain and crucial to its many functions. However, having a continuous stream of new synapse appearing and modifying the connectivity patterns of a finite space must lead to the removal of some data in order to maintain an efficient system; this means that processes that promote the remodeling of the brain also promote instability within some of the connections and in turn transience.

They speak bitterly about politics and morality and what may seem like a trivial matter can be what sends shrapnel tearing at the heart of social media. In this case, the subject at hand deals with something as inconsequential as a school’s dress code policy, but is being broken down into something as wicked as teaching a child superheroes are no better than the villain. The author, Jonah Goldberg, gives an effective argument as to why the mere fact of superheroes engaging in battle doesn’t mean they should be condemned.

In women, estrogen is produced mainly in the ovaries, and produced by fat cells and the adrenal gland; however, estrogen plays a role in the development of secondary sex characteristics such as breasts, pubic hair and armpit hair (“What is Estrogen,” para. 1). Furthermore, estrogen helps regulate the menstrual cycle, controlling the growth of the uterine lining during the first part of the cycle (“What is Estrogen,” para. 2). In addition, men produce estrogen as well, but at lower levels than women. Estrogen in males is secreted by the adrenal glands and by the testes. In men, estrogen is thought to affect sperm count (“What is Estrogen,” para. 7).

This research has the potential to help many people with behavioral and social issues. With the correlation of specific hormones to certain actions, the possibilities of hormone therapy are endless. If we could treat the hormone that excites aggression, anger could be managed more easily and violent crimes could be reduced. Hormones associated with the mother-infant bond, and post-partum depression could help overcome the struggles that new mothers face after child-birth. Furthermore, post-partum depression might be entirely prevented. This could in turn decrease the the numbers of neglected and abused children; thus resulting in the evolution of more balanced adults.

Estrogen is a steroid hormone which plays a crucial role in growth and maturation of both sexes. In the female reproductive system, estrogen targets tissues such as mammary glands, uterus, and ovaries. Bone formation has a significant positive relationship with estrogen from puberty to maturation and beyond (Clark et al., 1992). Post puberty estrogen is mainly synthesized and released from the ovaries in females. Through binding proteins or estrogen receptors (ER) found within the nucleus, estrogen is retained and affects specific target tissues throughout the body. Binding of estrogen to its receptor causes conformational change which in turn allows binding to chromatin and proceed with transcription of specific target genes (Murdoch

To the very last atom, they are matching in every way to that which our bodies naturally give us. Plus, bioidentical hormones have a much safer profile. Studies which have looked at the risks of breast cancer with synthetic HRT in comparison to the significantly reduced risks with bioidentical hormones serve as evidence.

Biologically, sex is determined by chromosomes, (XX = female and XY = male). That is primarily how one is determined male or female. However, Daniela Crocetti (2013), argues that chromosomes are not the only determining factor, that instead some people can be born with an imbalance in their hormone and testosterone system, this imbalance attributes to qualities that are more commonly seen in the opposite sex. This trait is most commonly seen through transexuals. Hormonal therapy is an option for those who experience these certain types of imbalances, it focuses on the “gendered presentation of the body and behavioral components…”. As a result, the therapy tends to make one feel “like how they're supposed to feel”. However, what if one prefers
