Endocrine Drugs in Aircrew

Abstract

Hormones are molecules that are synthesized and secreted by groups of cells clustered in specific tissues, usually known as glands, and are released into the blood, exerting biochemical effects on target cells at a distance from their site of origin. Hoimones are chemical messengers, endogenous compounds that are involved in both intracellular and extracellular communication. The site of action is deteimined by the presence of specific hoimone receptors on or in target cells.
