Hormone department
A hormone is a chemical substance produced in the endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream. It binds to specific receptors on target cells, altering their cellular processes. Hormonal levels are regulated by intricate interactions between the endocrine system components and the nervous system.
In the human body, there are two primary types of hormones: steroid hormones (such as sex hormones) and amino acid-derived hormones. Receptors for amino acid-derived hormones are located on the surface of target cells, while receptors for steroid hormones are found within the cytoplasm or nucleus.
The endocrinology department is a crucial component of laboratories, employing advanced equipment and reliable kits to conduct highly accurate tests on a wide range of hormones and cancer markers.
A number of hormones:
The most well-known hormones in the body include insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, thyroid hormones, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, cortisol, sex hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone, renin, aldosterone, angiotensin, antidiuretic hormone, oxytocin, prolactin, and more.
