Possible symptoms … Hypoglycemia (Diabetes Treatment)
The hormone belonging to the parathyroid gland is the parathyroid hormone, a hormone composed of protein (peptide hormone), which is produced in the main cells of the parathyroid glands. The formation and secretion of the parathyroid hormone is regulated by the concentration of calcium in the blood. A low level promotes the supply of parathyroid … Hormones of the parathyroid gland
The pancreas, which measures only 15x5x3cm, is the only organ in the body that performs a dual function. It produces the hormones insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood glucose levels. If this function of the pancreas is disturbed, this can lead to diabetes mellitus. Independently of this, the pancreas produces enzymes without which we cannot … Pancreas: Organ with Dual Function

Formation of ADH: ADH, which is also called antidiuretic hormone, adiuretin or vasopressin, is a peptide hormone. This hormone is produced together with the carrier protein neurophysin II in special nuclei of the hypothalamus (nucleus supraopticus, nucleus paraventricularis). The hormone is then stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, where it is released … ADH
Formation of progesterone: The hormone progesterone (corpus luteum hormone) is formed from cholesterol via pregnenolone in the corpus luteum of the ovaries, in the follicles (follicles in the ovary), in the placenta and in the adrenal cortex. Hormone production in the adrenal gland also takes place in men. The progesterone synthesis in the corpus luteum … Progesterone
