Which hormone would be particularly active in times of food shortage?
glucagon
The function of the enzyme 5a reductase is to?
convert testosterone into the active hormone, dihydrotestosterone
How would it be possible to have the normal amount of a hormone circulating in the blood yet have symptoms that indicate a shortage of that hormone?
It could mean that the receptors for this hormone are not as active as should be or fewer in number than should be.
What is The hormone that targets the thyroid gland and triggers the release of thyroid hormone is?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH. When the thyroid is under-active the pituitary secretes more TSH to try to make the thyroid release its own hormones (T3 and T4).
What is the meaning of the term anaeroboc?
Anaerobic means:living, active, occurring, or existing in the absence of free oxygen, orrelating to, or being activity in which the body incurs an oxygen debt
When are hormones in the menstrual cycle least active?
The hormone that is least active while you are ovulating is progesterone. Progesterone is built up and reaches its high peak before your menstrual cycle.
What is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone?
TH4
What does it mean when your flow of period gets lighter and you are taking birth control pills?
Withdrawal bleeds are normally lighter than menstrual bleeds.Hormonal birth control like the combination pill works to suppress your menstrual cycles to stop ovulation, thus as you no longer ovulate you no longer menstruate either. The bleeding you experience on the pill is a withdrawal bleed that results from the hormone drop when you go from active to inactive pills. As well as stopping ovulation the pill prevents secondary uterine lining build-up, with less uterine lining it means less material is lost during the withdrawal bleed than what you'd see during menstruation when you're off the pill.
What is the difference between estrous and menstrual cycle?
The estrous cycle comprises the recurring physiologic changes that are induced by reproductive hormones in most mammalian placental females. Humans and great apes undergo a menstrual cycle instead. Estrous cycles start after puberty in sexually mature females and are interrupted by anestrous phases. Typically estrous cycles continue until death. Some animals may display bloody vaginal discharge, often mistaken for menstruation. Mammals share the same reproductive system, including the regulatory hypothalamic system that releases gonadotropin releasing hormone in pulses, the pituitary that secretes follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, and the sex hormones including estrogens and progesterone. However, species vary significantly in the detailed functioning. One difference is that animals that have estrous cycles reabsorb the endometrium if conception does not occur during that cycle. Animals that have menstrual cycles shed the endometrium through menstruation instead. Another difference is sexual activity. In species with estrous cycles, females are generally only sexually active during the estrous phase of their cycle (see below for an explanation of the different phases in an estrous cycle). This is also referred to as being "in heat." In contrast, females of species with menstrual cycles can be sexually active at any time in their cycle, even when they are not about to ovulate. Humans, unlike some other species, do not have any obvious external signs to signal receptivity at ovulation (concealed ovulation). Research has shown however, that women tend to have more sexual thoughts and are most prone to sexual activity right before ovulation. Hope this helps! Best of Luck!
Can becoming sexually active change your menstrual cycle?
Becoming sexually active does not generally change your menstrual cycle. If you are using contraception, such as the birth control pill, coil or Depo Provera injection, then your menstrual cycle can change. Your periods may stop or they could become shorter and lighter in flow.
What is over active thyroid?
Having an over active thyroid means that your thyroid is producing too much of its hormone.
Which hormone would be particularly active in times of food shortage?
glucagon
Is it safe to be sexually active during menstrual cycle?
The menstrual cycle refers to the reproductive cycle, a woman [of reproductive age, and if not using hormonal birth control] is experiencing her menstrual cycle every day. It's safe to be sexually active at any time as long as you are old enough to be sexually active, practicing safer sex, and using birth control to prevent unintended pregnancy.
What does active thunderstorm mean?

The function of the enzyme 5a reductase is to?
convert testosterone into the active hormone, dihydrotestosterone
What hormone helps in carbohydrate metabolism and is active during times of stress?
cortisol
Are you pregnant if you spot bleed before your period?
Yes you can. Stress is often a part of it, if you are on the birth control pill/patch, or, it can be simply hormones. If you haven't been sexually active and suddenly become so this too can put your periods out of whack.
