- To the anterior side of the right adrenal gland are the inferior vena cava and right lobe of the liver , while posteriorly lies the right crus of the diaphragm. (anatomy.app)
Organs1
Ovaries2
- It is often called the "master gland" because its hormones control the thyroid, adrenals, ovaries, and testes. (traditionalcookingschool.com)
- The ovaries produce hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, which cause secondary sex characteristics and prepare the body for childbirth. (jackwestin.com)
Prefrontal Cortex1
- By using RNA-seq data of prefrontal cortex (PFC) from 31 C57BL/6J X DBA/2J (BXD) recombinant inbred (RI) mouse strains and their parental strains under three chemical treatment groups saline control (CTL), diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP), and corticosterone combined with diisopropylfluorophosphate (CORT+DFP), we identified Ccr6 as a candidate gene underlying individual differences in susceptibility to GWI. (cdc.gov)
Hippocampus1
- 1998. Inhibition of long-term potentiation in developing rat visual cortex but not hippocampus by in utero exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls. (cdc.gov)
Suprarenal1
- Adrenal hormones are released into the circulation via the left and right suprarenal veins. (openstax.org)
Physiological5
- Hormone receptors in the endocrine system often trigger changes in gene expression to alter the activities of key biochemical or physiological pathways. (tomsk.ru)
- In both cases, the hormones released from the pituitary change key physiological parameters and/or alter system-wide behavior. (tomsk.ru)
- Neurons in central nervous system control the release of hormones from the pituitary which provides an access point for environmental stimuli to alter physiological parameters in the body. (tomsk.ru)
- For example, previously we found that several GWI-relevant organophosphate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors produce heightened neuroinflammatory responses following subchronic exposure to stress hormone as a mimic of high physiological stress. (cdc.gov)
- MAIN METHODS: Adult male C57BL/6J mice received a subchronic exposure to corticosterone (CORT) at levels mimicking high physiological stress followed by exposure to the sarin surrogate, diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP). (cdc.gov)
Antidiuretic hormone1
- Examples of peptide hormones include antidiuretic hormone (ADH), a pituitary hormone important in fluid balance, and atrial-natriuretic peptide, which is produced by the heart and helps to decrease blood pressure. (achievingthedream.org)
Glands produce1
- Like every other gland that resides in the body, the adrenal glands produce a steady stream of hormones, or chemicals that transmit specific messages to groups of cells. (naturalknowledge247.com)
Receptors4
- that is, cells with receptors for that particular hormone. (achievingthedream.org)
- Hormones reach all tissues via blood but only cells that have receptors to bind the hormone act as target cells for the hormone. (biologyonline.com)
- A low concentration of hormones is compensated for by an increase in the number of receptors - up-regulation while a high concentration of hormones leads to a decrease in the number of receptors - down-regulation. (biologyonline.com)
- These hormones are released by cells in one part of the body, enter the circulatory system to distribute throughout the body and bind specific receptors in other cells. (tomsk.ru)
Gonads1
- They do not affect sexual characteristics and may supplement sex hormones released from the gonads. (jackwestin.com)
Produces3
- The adrenal gland produces two major hormones believed to be involved in hypertension. (mnsu.edu)
- The thyroid gland produces the hormones T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). (jackwestin.com)
- Each region of the adrenal gland produces different kinds of hormones. (targetwoman.com)
Congenital2
- Although autoimmune disorders play a major role in the adrenal insufficiencies, other causes such as infectious diseases, vascular impairments, congenital disorders and also iatrogenic causes lead to adrenal insufficiencies. (targetwoman.com)
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, 3-beta-steroid dehydrogenase deficiency, or steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) deficiency. (medscape.com)
Pheochromocytoma1
- Adrenal Pheochromocytoma is a condition in which tumors are formed on the adrenal gland. (targetwoman.com)
