Severe anxiety symptoms present themselves in a variety of ways. Before finding out the ways that this disease manifests itself, it is important for you to have a background on the causes of severe anxiety. In general, the main sources of severe anxiety are either an unresolved emotional trauma, which leads to what is commonly known as post-traumatic stress disorder. It can also be caused by emotional underdevelopment, which leads to the incapacity to deal with stress, or it could also be rooted in physiological causes such as hormonal imbalances.

L'anxiété sévère survient lorsque le corps réagit fréquemment et exagérément par de l'agitation face à des situations qui ne sont pas dangereuses en soi. L'anxiété peut devenir un gros handicap lorsque la personne qui en souffre cherche à éviter de nombreuses situations qui provoquent chez elle de l'anxiété. Les symptômes sont très désagréables et peuvent engendrer une grande détresse.

What is pyometra?... Pyometra is a secondary infection due to hormonal changes in a female's reproductive tract. Following estrus(heat), progesterone levels remain elevated for several weeks, stimulating the uterine lining to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur for several estrus cycles, the lining increases in thickness until cysts form in the uterus. This condition is called cystic endometrial hyperplasia. The thickened cystic lining secretes fluids, creating an ideal environment where bacteria can grow.

OBS

High progesterone levels, as well as blood cells inhibited from entering the uterus during estrus, are a combination of factors which can often lead to life-threatening infection.

Pituitary gland is the main source of the major hormones responsible for reproduction in catfish and other farmed species.

Pituitary gland secretes the gonadotropins such as follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) and luteinising hormone(LH). FSH causes growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in females and spermatogenesis in the testes of males. LH cause luteinisation in females and promote the production of testosterone in males...

The mechanism of action of oral hormonal contraceptives is through pituitary depression with failure of production of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, thereby suppressing ovulation. The associated production of a hostile cervical mucus or acceleration of endometrial changes may also be antifertility factors.

DEF

A peptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary [which] promotes the growth of the thyroid gland and stimulates the synthesis of thyroid hormones and the release of thyroxine by the thyroid gland.

CONT

The hypothalamus generates thyroid-releasing hormone(TRH) to energize pituitary thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH). TSH, in turn, stimulates thyroid hormonal output, which feeds back on both hypothalamus and pituitary to complete the regulatory circle.

  • Endocrine System and Metabolism
CONT

In most patient with growth hormone(GH) secreting pituitary adenomas and clinically nonfunctioning pituitary tumors(NFPT) the intravenous injection of thyrotropin releasing hormone(TRH) augments the secretion of GH and subunits of gonatropin hormones respectively. Similar hormone responses to TRH have been detected in rat pituitary cell lines and primary human pituitary tumor cultures in vitro. Nevertheless the TRH effect on tumor hormonal secretion has not been well characterized. In the present study we examined TRH-induced hormone secretion in GH secreting tumors and in NFPT in vitro. Cultured cells secreted betaFSH secretion at 60 to 90 min, with no further increase at 34 h. TRH-stimulated GH secretion peaked at 90-120 min, and decreased after 3 h, but a secondary rise occurred after 24 h of incubation. Chronic daily exposure to TRH followed by an acute TRH challenge resulted in a further increase of GH secretion after one hour.

OBS

TRH is a tonic secretagogue in growth hormone secreting but not in nonfunctioning pituitary tumors.

Subject field(s)
  • Embryology
DEF

The process by which an embryo acquires the morphologic characteristics of its sex. At the start of development in vertebrates each embryo possesses a double assortment of genital ducts, the müllerian ducts with female potentialities and the wolffian ducts with male potentialities. Depending on the genetic sex of the embryo, one of these assortments will disappear and the genital organs will differentiate in a male or in a female direction. This differentiation is dependent on special fetal hormonal influences possibly secreted by the sex glands of the embryo.
