Women with epilepsy face unique challenges, some of which arise from the interaction between epilepsy and endocrine hormones. Epilepsy and endocrine hormones reciprocally influence one another such that hormonal changes impact epilepsy and epilepsy impacts hormonal functioning. In this article, the effect of that interaction on the lifelong health of epileptic women is examined. Fluctuations in...

  Objective(s): Previous studies have shown that thyroid hormones are necessary for normal development of many organs and because of the importance of skin as the largest and the most important organ in human body protection in spite of external environment, the study of thyroid hormones effects on skin development is considerable. In this survey we have tried to study the effects of maternal h...

Ageing is doubtless complicated, lifelong process regarding many body systems, including endocrine system. Human hormonal system changes with age. Although these changes concern secretion of many hormones, they are not unidirectional, there are hormones secretion of which is diminished, whereas secretion of the others is augmented or not changed with age. A possible role of hormones which are o...

 Seasonal changes of the thyroid gland structure and hormones secretion was examined in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) in the northwest of Persian Gulf (Musa creek). Thyroid gland composed of follicles scattered around the ventral aorta, near the gills. Follicular cells varied according to secretion of the gland during warm and cold seasons. Thyroid hormones (Triidothyronine [T3] and ...

Circulating hormones play an important role in regulating the flux through metabolic pathways. In general, hormones regulate either the activity of key enzymes of metabolism or the activity of protein transport systems such as those found in the plasma membrane and in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Little is known about the mechanism of action of hormones on transport systems, so the discuss...
