/ Estrogen can be both a beneficial and a harmful hormone. It maintains skeletal strength by preventing the loss of bone and enhancing calcium retention. However, estrogen causes the proliferation of cells in the breast and the uterus, which can increase a woman's chance of developing cancer at these sites. Selective estrogen-receptor modulators (SERMs), such as tamoxifen and raloxifene, produce estrogen action in those tissues (e.g., bone, brain, liver) where that action...

/ For centuries, herbal abortifacients have been made from infusions or oils of plants such as pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium), angelica (Angelicaspecies), and tansy (Tanacetum vulgare). Such preparations are no more likely to terminate a pregnancy than they are to induce potentially lethal reactions such as vomiting, hemorrhages, and convulsions in the women who take them. Truly effective abortifacients were not developed until the end of the 20th...

/ Testosteroneis the principal androgen in males. Secreted by cells in the testes in response to luteinizing hormone released from the pituitary gland, testosterone can directly bind to androgen receptors and is converted in some tissues to dihydrotestosterone, which also binds to androgen receptors. Activation of androgen receptors results in differentiation of the external genitalia, increased hair growth during puberty, and stimulation of the prostate...

This hormone stimulates the synthesis and secretion of the two pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), by the anterior pituitary gland. The effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone on the secretion of luteinizing hormone...

Dr. Lindy Lee resigned as the director of the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. Lee said that she could not keep up with the increasing demand for opiate detox and addiction services. Lee became frustrated and disillusioned with the lack of support from health officials. She was swamped with requests to assess more opiate addicts who...

Businesses want to make a profit, but are skittish about relying on one customer for all of their revenue. Nonprofit groups should be nervous as well, based on the experience of Craig Lambdin. Lambdin took over MFI Recovery Center, a drug treatment center in California, in 1985. "They (MFI) existed solely on one government contract," Lambdin said. "That contract only covered 80 percent of the costs. Pancake breakfasts and car washes didn't quite make up for the...
