Hormones are involved in how we deal with stress; triggering our immune systems; and steroids.
And hormones are so much more than just the two you’re likely most familiar with: testosterone and estrogen.
Hormones are any number of chemical messengers that get secreted by glands, travel through the bloodstream, and have an effect on cells with receptors for that particular hormone all around the body.
In your body’s endocrine system, a system for communicating messages across long distances within the body, the hormones operate as the long-distance messaging service.
And hormones effects are incredibly diverse as well. They can stimulate growth, metabolism, immune function, and much more. Some hormones even take on double, triple, or quadruple the number of functions around your body.
Find out more about how hormones are regulated, and the role hormones play in things like maintaining your metabolism or controlling your blood sugar in this Human.

“The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood, among other things.”
Principles of endocrinology
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NB...
“The word hormone is derived from the Greek hormao meaning ‘I excite or arouse’. Hormones communicate this effect by their unique chemical structures recognized by specific receptors on their target cells, by their patterns of secretion and their concentrations in the general or localized circulation.”
Understanding How Testosterone Affects Men
www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-r...
“The complex effects of testosterone, investigators found, depend partly on its conversion in the body to a type of estrogen. The insights will help guide the development of better ways to diagnose and treat men who don’t produce enough natural testosterone.”

Please pay more attention to sound levels. This video is way to quiet. But other than the volume issue it's great
The human series is great! Lots of interesting information in each episode. Really enjoying it.
Many lectures of biology were very effectively compressed and well explained in this short beautiful video.
Not specifically related to THIS video (which was awesome btw) but I just wanted to say thank you to the entire Seeker staff. I LOVE to learn and I look forward to these videos. Thank you so much everyone :)
Great series. Enlightening topics I’ve often wondered about. Living things certainly are amazing
Short, but very informative. I love it!
This was fascinating. Thank you.

If hormones were nonexistent, then we wouldn’t even be able to grow, we have the human growth hormone which is essential for overall development. We also have insulin, which we need to regulate the amount of glucose in our blood. There’s even adrenaline, which we need to trigger our fight or flight response, which, if it didn’t exist, would make for a boring life.

This is a very clear and useful overview of hormones and steroids.
Good job good video
As a former researcher in sex/gender and neuroscience and interested in ednocrinology, I can recommend following DR. Sari Van Anders as state-of-the-art for hormones related to sex/gender claims. The most important thing to realise with any chemical or other molecules is that they are not behaviours or the subunits of them (except in exceptionally rare cases). Bravo to Seeker for being careful, if not fully explicit about this.
I'm not usually into biology, but this was a good watch.
These complexity of our body really makes me hard to believe that we ONLY exist because of a random explosion billion years ago ..
"Find out more about how hormones are regulated, and the role hormones play in things like maintaining your metabolism or controlling your blood sugar in this Human." That...doesn't sound like it came out the way you thought it would.
This will appear in your recommendations
I only have a handful of critiques, this time. Good info. Amazing what Seeker can accomplish when the presenter knows what he's talking about. •". . . and also steroids!" Steroids _are_ hormones. •It would have been worth mentioning that both males and females produce testosterone and estrogen. •You didn't make it entirely clear to the layman that steroids are not proteins, and you assumed everyone already knows what an enzyme is. They really don't. •You should talk about arachidonic acid and prostaglandins. I was expecting that when you brought up inflammation.

Great video but the answer to your question?
This corticosteroid growth seems to superficially resemble cancer accelerated cell growth. Has that been explored with cancer research (ex: verifying rate of growth and at a trigger, switching off that growth with a negative feedback loop)?
Spoke mostly on the effects on the body, but what about the effects on the brain, sounds like the main source, if not in conjunction with abnormalities of the brain, for mental health.
The first thing? JUICE. ALL THAT SWEET, SWEET MUSCLE NECTAR.

Estrogen and testosterone. Yes

To be honest with you,the word "hormones" brings sex into my mind every time i hear it
The only hormones I need are Big Brain hormones 😤 🧠
This video needs work: Your definition is for *Messenger Molecules* , not *Hormones* ( _& could even include _*_Antibodies_* ), and your examples could use more detail. Maybe get the help of an actual *Endocrinologist* next time ( _preferrably one who's learned the science in the last few years - this is a damn fast growing field!_ ). Please avoid *Dumbing Down the Data!* *Messenger Molecules* may do very different, even opposing functions, depending where ( _& when_ ) they are received in the body ( _usually the unique cells of a specific organ_ ). As well, the _exact same molecules_ can have opposing effects, depending on what phase of the cycle that they're received in. ( *_Activating_*_ vs _*_Suppressing_*_ Immune Functions , for example. There are several _*_Interleukins_*_ which do this:_ *IL-1* , *IL -17a* , _etc._ ). Some *Messenger Molecules* trigger major effects in the miniscule *Parts Per Million* range ( _Steroids_ ), but others are a thousand times more potent, working in the *Parts Per Billion* range ( _Tumor Necrosing Factor alpha , _*_TNF-a_* ). The total volume, of a specific molecule, within the Bloodstream, at any one time, is also very important. You noted in the video that the *Steroids:* ( _easily identified by their _*_6_*_ , _*_6_*_ , _*_6_*_ , _*_5_*_ molecular structure_ ) *Testosterone* & *Estradiol* are virtually identical. This is important in *Hormone Replacement Therapy* , as if there's too much Testosterone in the bloodstream at any given time, the unusable portion gets converted into *Estradiol* ( _causing obvious _*_Side-Effects_*_ in individuals who abuse _*_Anabolic Steroids_*_ , such as_ *"Testicular Shrinkage"* & *Gynomastica:* _Hightened sensitivity of the nipples & the excessive growth of _*_Breast Tissue_*_ in males_ ). The *Chemokine Nitrous Oxide* will suppress fluid loss in the *Kidneys* , acts as an *Anti-inflammatory* in the skeletal muscles and is a suppressing *Neurotransmitter* in the brain & nervous system ( hence the *Anaesthetic* effect on the_ *Nociceptic Pathway/s* ). The *Endocrine System* ( *_Paracrine , Exocrine , Juxtacrine , Autocrine_* ) is staggeringly complex, with trillions of examples from approximately *850 Types* of tiny messengers ( _not including _*_RNA_*_ , which seriously raises the complexity_ ) whizzing round through the bloodstream ( _& intracellular spaces_ ) at any one time. ~ ~ ~ Above all the major secretory *Glands* ( _Not including various accumulations of_ *Adipocytes* ), such as the *Adrenals* , *Gonads* ( *Testes* or *Ovaries* , _depending on the sex of the individual._ ) , *Thyroid* , *Pineal* & *Pituitary* , is the *Hypothalamus.* A staggeringly important gland which is responsible for _Mediating_ hundreds of *_Feedback Loops_* throughout the body. The small portion of neural tissue which makes up the *Hypothalamus* is barely larger than the top joint of your thumb, but is essential for, perhaps, thousands of essential functions throughout the body, including: • *Appetite/Satiety* ( _Feeling hungry or full._ ) , • *Metabolism* ( _How food & oxygen is extracted/converted into energy, proteins, lipids, etc. Far too many processes to detail._ ), • *Blood / Sugar Balance* ( _Perpetually tweaking infinitesimally small quantities of sugars - Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, etc. - in the bloodstream, primarily using the Hormones _*_Insulin_*_ / _*_Glucagon_*_ - made in the _*_Pancreas_*_ , _*_Small Intestine_*_ & _*_Adipocytes._* ) • *Thermal Regulation* ( *_Sweating , Shivering , Dilation/Contraction of Blood Vessels , Cold Shock Response_*_ , etc._ ), • *Adaptive Immune Response* , • *Sexual Behavior* ( _Including Attraction, Arousal & _*_Orgasm_* ), • *Emotional Discipline* ( _A key aspect of _*_Emotional Maturity_* ), etc. It also has myriad profound functions within the *Brain* ( _as well as interfacing _*_Brain_*_ to / from _*_Body_*_ chemical communications_ ), having several dozen _Afferent / Efferent_ pathways to important Neurological structures & effecting changes to *Glial Cells* ( _including_ *Astrocytes* , _a key component of the _*_Cerebral Inflammatory / Immune Response_* ).
