Hormonal cyclicity
|
|
Hormonal cyclicity Regularly recurrent changes in the level of one or more hormones secreted into the bloodstream, for example, the changes in pituitary and ovarian hormones in synchrony with the menstrual cycle in women.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Hormones
Biological compounds that communicate information at a distance. Hormones require specific receptors to begin their biological action and use second messengers to initiate the cellular process that uses that information.
Pituitary
The gland from which a number of hormones are released into the bloodstream. These hormones include growth hormone, ACTH, B-lipocortin (the precursor to B-endorphorin), FSH, LH, and TSH.
Menstrual
An endocrine cycle of 28 days in women which includes fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, the events of enodmetrial development, follicular maturation, ovulation, changes in cervical mucus secretion, breast vascularization changes, and if pregnancy does not occur, menstruation.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Hormonalize
To change or shape by means of a hormone the outcome of development, for example as masculine or feminine, as manifested somatically or behaviorally.
Hormone
A chemical substance formed in the body that is carried in the bloodstream to affect another part of the body; an example is thyroid hormone, produced by the thyroid gland in the neck, which affects growth, temperature regulation, metabolic rate, and other body functions.
Hormone Releasing Factors
Hormones released from the hypothalamus that directly affect the pituitary and initiate the release of other hormones into the bloodstream. Many hormone releasing factors use cyclic AMP as their secondary messengers.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Use of the female hormones estrogen and progestin (a synthetic form of progesterone) to replace those the body no longer produces after menopause.
Hormone therapy
The use of hormones, medications, or surgery to suppress (block) or mimic hormones and alter the growth of hormone sensitive cancer.
Hormones
Biological compounds that communicate information at a distance. Hormones require specific receptors to begin their biological action and use second messengers to initiate the cellular process that uses that information.
Hormonodynamics
Hormonal changes that take place in synchrony with changes in other processes manifested within or by a living organism, and that are presumed to have a governing or determining effect.
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Homophylophilia
Homosexuality; homophylophile: noun, a homosexual.
Homosexology
Sexological science as applied to homosexuality and its relationship to heterosexuality and bisexuality.
Homosexual
Characterized by same-sex contact, either as a genital act or as a long-term sexuoerotic status [from Greek, homos, same + sex]. It is analogous to left-handedness in being not pathological in itself, though not conforming to the statistical nor the ideological norm, and not being exempt from other pathology. A homosexual person is able to fall in love with, and become the pairbonded sexuoerotic partner of only a person of the same morphologic sex (homophilic homosexual). Homosexuality is not a paraphilia but a gender transposition, variable in extent and degree. Paraphilias may occur in association with either homosexual or heterosexual pairing.
Homosexualism
Synonym, homosexuality.
Homosexuality
Erotosexual pairing with a partner of the same genital morphology. Its full manifestation includes falling in love (homophilic limerence). Homosexual sexuoerotic behaviors may occur in same sex concentrations (as in prisons) from sexual frustration, or the expression of position in the heirarchy of dominance and power, for example (heterophlic homosexuality).
Hormonal cyclicity

Humiliation
One of the variable components of sadomasochism.
Huntington's chorea
A chronic and progressive disease of the central nervous system characterized by irregular body movements, disturbance of speech, and gradually increasing mental deterioration. It is hereditary in origin and is transmitted as a genetic dominant.
Hustler
A person who works with energy and persistence, especially in marketing. As applied to sex, it is a vernacular term especially for males who earn money by servicing women or other men of a more effeminate disposition than their own.
