Hormones: Chemical Messengers

Hormones are the silent messengers that do their work unseen. They are vitally important in all phases of our life. In fact, there is no part of our existence that is not touched, in some way by hormones.

The remarkable part is they exercise their profound control and change with minute quantities that reach their target tissues via the bloodstream.

In this eBook, we highlight hormones of the endocrine system from the master gland, the Pituitary--and other hormones that regulate a variety of physiological and behavioral activities such as: digestion, metabolism, growth, sleep, reproduction, lactation, and stress; to name a few.
