Abstract. "Raging hormones" used to be blamed for much adolescent behavior. Recent research discoveries, however, have uncovered remarkable developmental transformations in the adolescent brain—knowledge that is revolutionizing our understanding of why adolescents behave the way they do.

Hormones are vital, and that they can become a little imbalanced is something we have to live with. But when does an imbalance become so large that it is defined as an illness? Medical doctor and PhD candidate Kiarash Tazmini and endocrinologist Anders Palmstrøm Jørgensen have made it a little easier for healthcare professionals in Norway to figure...
But what exactly is a hormone? – We can think of hormones as the body’s postal system, says Jørgensen. He explains further: –It all starts in the pituitary gland, which is part of the brain. The pituitary gland releases signals into the bloodstream, which are picked up by hormone-producing organs. The organ produces a hormone, and the hormone perfo...
It is not necessarily true that every imbalance in the endocrine system is the result of illness. Our hormones are also affected by lifestyle. – Lately, for example, it has become commonplace to blame testosterone deficiency when men reach 40 and begin to experience middle-age spread and lack of energy. But it is completely normal for people who le...
Sex hormones, which are what people often mean when they refer to “hormones” in everyday speech, are produced in the genitals. Oestrogen and progesterone are made in the ovaries, whereas testosterone comes from the testicles. In addition to playing an important role in preparing a woman’s body for fertilization, oestrogen and progesterone act on ma...
There are many other hormones that make things happen in the body. Most of us have heard of insulin, but not everyone realises that it’s a hormone. Whenever we consume carbohydrates, cells in the pancreas detect this and start to produce insulin. Insulin ensures that the sugar in the bloodstream enters the cells where it is either metabolized or st...
The hormone cortisol is often discussed in the media in connection with lifestyle issues. It is called the stress hormone because it enables us to cope with the various stresses and strains we experience in everyday life. Cortisol helps the body to mobilize when faced with danger or adversity. Another important stress hormone is adrenaline, which i...
When we are stressed, our bodies produce too much cortisol. The solution to restoring balance in this case is to relax. But stress is not the only reason why the body might produce too much cortisol. In some cases a benign tumour in the pituitary gland produces too much of a substance that tells the adrenal glands to make cortisol. The endocrinolog...
There is a broad spectrum of diseases affecting the endocrine system, and many are relatively rare. It is not necessarily easy for GPs to keep track of them all. The newly published guide will make an important contribution to ensuring that patients with these rare diseases are seen more quickly by specialists and receive the correct diagnosis and ...

2. Feb. 2021 · Hormones help our bodies become taller, change shape, and even grow hair. Although hormones act on different parts of the body (like bones, muscles, or skin), several crucial hormones for puberty are actually made in the brain. Scientists are learning more about the ways hormones affect how the brain grows and changes, and in turn ...
