Hormones effect body metabolism and growth. Hormones like cortisone maintain balance mineral, salt and water. Hormones like glucose, glycogen and somatostatin maintains blood sugar level. Adrenaline is a fight/flight hormone and prepares body for action. Thyroxine and calcitonin maintains basal metabolism, growth and mental development. Tropic hormones secretion from anterior pituitary effects the secretion of other endocrine gland. ADH regulates the amount of water in urine. Characteristics........ Hormones are chemically active in our body even in the ratio of 1:300000. Hormones are steroids like testosterone, amino acids like adrenaline and peptides like insulin. Excess or deficiency of hormones may lead to certain diseases. They are never retained in our body and are excreted. Hormones travel through blood streams and act on target organs.
