- HORMONE BIOCHEMISTRY -
GLAND HORMONE
• Insulin
- helps in keeping the blood sugar level from getting too high
• Thyroid Hormones
- regulate the basal metabolic rate (control weight,
determine energy level, internal body temperature.etc)
• Glucagon
- prevent blood glucose level dropping too low
• Growth Hormones
- control body growth
CONCLUSION
• These glands play a pivotal role in manipulating metabolism growth blood pressure child birth water
conservation through secreting hormones. Narrow range in the internal environment is maintained and
hormonal communication has pulled through many years.
• On the other hand, failure of producing those chemicals triggers health problems that calls for
attention, such as polyglandular disorders (the synthesis and secretion of peptide/protein hormone by
benign) which occur if hormone production is not monitored. Surgical removal or drug inducing is the
kind of treatment of such cases. As long as the glands are functioning well, so does metabolism in the
human body.
