HORMONES
Hormones are secretions of endocrine glands. They discharge their secretions into the blood from where they are carried to specific organs and tissues called target organs. Such hormones function by exercising specific and biological action on these target organs. Certain hormones exert influence directly on various biological and metabolic functions and act as integrators of metabolic processes. visit products.herbalife.co.uk. Evidence suggest that the metabolic effects of most of the hormones are preceded by increased production of mRNA in the tissues of target glands. Hormones present in the blood are bound to plasma protein fractions and are transported along with them. Binding with proteins is important because, hormones are prevented from being diffused across the capillaries or excreted in the urine across the glomerular membrane, thereby helping to maintain the concentration of circulating hormones. Liver plays an important role in the regulation of hormone metabolism.
