16
Q

T4

A

attach to mitochondria and turn it on; attach to genes to make enzymes for glycolysis

17
Q

CT

A

causes kidneys to dump Ca+ back into the blood–>stimulates osteoblasts–>bones get thicker

18
Q

PTH

A

stimulate osteoclasts–>reduce bone size; conserve/bring Ca+ back into blood

19
Q

E(epinephrine)

A

break down glucose for ATP production; break down fatty acids; bigger and more heart contractions

20
Q

NE(3)

A

break down glucose for ATP production; break down fatty acids; bigger and more heart contractions

21
Q

EPO

A

makes bone marrow produce more RBCs

22
Q

CORT(2)

A

glucose sparing effect(conserve glucose); dump fatty acids into blood

23
Q

ALDO

A

absorbs Na+ from urine back into blood–>H2O follows–>Na+ is pulled out and K+ is brought back in; sensitive taste buds/tongue=desire salt

24
Q

AR

A

females: sex drive; no effects for men

25
Q

MEL

A

helps with circadian rhythm and sleep

26
Q

INS

A

targets a gene for membrane protecting glucose gates

27
Q

GCG

A

break up glycogen chains and dump them into the blood

28
Q

D3

A

tells small intestine cells to absorb more Ca+ from food into the blood

29
Q

REN

A

targets ADH, ALDO, and ANG II; activates angiotension II–>increases BP–>antagonist effect on the heart

30
Q

ANG II

A

makes the kidney absorb more water from urine; increases BP

31
Q

ANP

A

makes the kidney not absorb as much water from urine; lowers BP; works against ADH, ALDO, and ANG II

32
Q

A II

A

stimulates the development of T cells

33
Q

T

A

promote sperm production and maturation

34
Q

INHBH

A

inhibits GnRH

35
Q

E(estrogen)

A

builds uterine lining

36
Q

P

A

adds glands to uterine lining

37
Q

LEP

A

supresses hunger

38
Q

IGF

A

causes the release of GH and is stimulated from the hypothalamus
