Notes

Hormones are your body's chemical messengers. They're any member of a class of signaling molecules that regulates physiology and behavior.
They're substances that travel in your bloodstream to tissues or organs.
A tiny amount of hormones is capable of causing significant changes in cells or even your whole body.
Endocrine glands make hormones. The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, and gonads.
They work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including:
- growth and development;
- metabolism;
- sexual function;
- reproduction;
- mood swings;
- activation of inhibition of the immune system;
- wake-sleep cycle and other circadian rhythms.

I hope I receive many feedbacks because it can improve the issues I investigate, and on top of that, I can meet amazing people.'
