There are at least 3 antidiuretic hormones. Arginine vasopressin is the antidiuretic hormone of most mammals, including man. This function is served by lysine vasopressin in the pig, and by arginine vasotocin in birds, reptiles and amphibians. All 3 hormones are closely related chemieally and act on the kidney in a similar inanner. Arginine vasotocin also exists in fish, in which the antidiuret...

A plethora of hormones regulate many of the body’s functions, including growth and development, metabolism, electrolyte balances, and reproduction. Numerous glands throughout the body produce hormones. The hypothalamus produces several releasing and inhibiting hormones that act on the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of pituitary hormones. Of the pituitary hormones, several act on other...

results the ovarian hormones level showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). furthermore, the unk cell population showed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). conclusions increased ovarian hormones due to low-dose aspirin administration resulted in decline in the unk cells number, which may be effective in successful pregnancy....

although there are many evidences regard to the relationship between serum thyroid hormones, cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoproteins in different animals, but there are limited references in dogs. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between thyroid hormones and concentrations of serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles, and also to detect relationship between the measured para...

the term congenital hypopituitarism defines deficiency of all of the pituitary hormones. hypoglycemia and microphallus (in males) are common findings, and some infants have shown evidence of the neonatal hepatitis syndrome. we report a case of congenital panhypopituitarism with deficiency of six major hormones and association with severe hypoglycemia, impaired liver function tests and congenita...

background: expansion of bone marrow cavity and decreased cortical and trabecular bone tissues and osteoporosis are resulted from beta-thalassemia. the aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density (bmd) in patients with β thalassemia major and intermedia, and to determine their biochemical and hormonal profiles that may affect bmd. materials and methods: in a cross sectional study from ...

the overtraining syndrome (ots) is a physically debilitating medical condition that results in athletes being totally compromised in their capacity to perform and compete. many physiological systems are affected by the process of overtraining and the development of the ots which results from it; but one system in particular, the immune, is highly susceptible to degradation resulting in a reduct...

background: since the introduction of the first radioimmunoassay, several improvements have been made in the design of immunoassays such as method of antibody production, labeling, automation and detection technology. we performed an analytical evaluation of the new electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (eclia) for serum tsh, ft4 and t3 in the elecsys 2010 immunoassay system and compared the resu...
