Menopause and Hormones
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Slight differences in structure fundamentally change the effects, which can be corticoid, androgen, progestagen or estrogen. The latter 3 are called sex steroid hormones. Each type of sex steroid hormone is composed of a group of molecules, with slightly different effects. Sex steroid hormones are secreted by the ovary and by the adrenal gland. Oestrogens are the typical female hormone which will stimulate breast development, and growth of the uterus and the endometrium causing menstrual bleedings. Progestagens modulate the effect of the estrogens, e.g. in the endometrium. Androgens are the typical male hormones.
