Physiological Effects:
HORMONES | PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS |
Insulin |
Insulin helps the glucose entry into muscles, tissues and cells Insulin stimulates the liver to store glucose |
Glucagon |
Glucagon facilitates the conversion of glycogen to glucose in liver and skeletal muscles. It facilitates the gluconeogenesis |
Norepinephrine | It increases blood pressure and facilitates the increase in heart rate. It inhibits the GIT motility |
Androgens |
It increases the growth of muscle and bone. It facilitates the enlargement of larynx and deepening of voice. It facilitates the growth of hair on face, axillae, chest, abdomen and pubis. |
Estrogens | It regulates the ovulation cycle. |
Growth hormone | Growth hormone stimulates the increase of amino acid uptake, and facilitates the increase in protein synthesis. |
