even cirrhosis of the liver. The second group of adrenocorticoids is referred to as the glucocorticoids. These are produced by the second layer in the adrenal cortex‚ the zona fasciculata. The functions of glucocorticoids include stimulating gluconeogenesis through the use of amino acids and breaking down of muscle proteins. In this experiment the glucocorticoids used were hydrocortisone and corticosterone. These hormones are used medically to suppress the immune system by inhibiting the inflammation

Adrenal gland In mammals‚ the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are the triangular-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible for releasing hormones in conjunction with stress through the synthesis of corticosteroids and catecholamines‚ including cortisol and adrenaline (epinephrine)‚ respectively. Anatomy and function Anatomically‚ the adrenal glands are located in the retroperitoneum situated atop the kidneys‚ one on each side. They are

A Critical Review of Peters‚ JW & Williams‚ LD 2012‚ ‘The Origin of Life: Look Up and Look Down’‚ Astrobiology‚ vol. 12‚ no. 11‚ pp. 1087-1092. The origin of life has always been one of the most attractive features in philosophy and science. Moreover‚ it can examine our knowledge of biological‚ geological and chemical principles. This review aims to provide information about consideration of the origin of life. The study reveals that the origin of life can be accomplished in both approaches

removal of glucose from the bloodstream. Introduction: The blood glucose concentration in the blood is interceded by the human body via negative feedback mechanism to maintain homeostasis of the body. Free glucose can be produced from fat‚ gluconeogenesis from proteins and glycogenolysis in liver and glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscle tissues. The human body intends to maintain a stable glucose concentration
