OOOOOOO....

*turns on some Barry White and continues to read*


oooooooooooooooooooooooo yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.



Thanks Lake

 

[yeahright]

Interesting read. Thanks very much.

 

[bpmartyr]

Mucho gracias senor

 

[motiv8erJR]

Got anymore good post college boy

Thanks amigo!

 

[PVSkyHigh]

Nice, I have all of that in my anatomy and physiology book though. Good info, that is why I kept my books.

Bump for the newbies .

now i knw what to go for when i pull a silence of the lambs! lol..

Reminds me of all the anatomy and physiology classes I used to take! Fun times... (Insert sarcasm here)

This is good as a general list, but some of them are only partially correct in the sense that some of the hormones listed can be produced elsewhere in the body in addition to the "glands" listed.

Also there is a basal level of progesterone production by the adrenal cortex in both men and women - men and women not in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle have similar levels of progesterone. There is some direct production of estrogens by the testes. You forgot DHEA in the adrenal cortex. SHBg is produced in the liver. NPY is also produced in significant quantities in certain areas of the brain.

Lets just say it takes a bit long to get into the intricacies lol.

I could go on for days and days. Adrenals are also the major supplier of androgens in women.
