New poll for hyperaldosteronism

[Guest guest]

Is there a way to automatically forward all to bloodpressureline or the sender could also do that. I think there is good reason to have the separate site but with a link to ours-we can also put a link to your site if you want.

May your pressure be low!

> I have always wondered why the pituitary is not suspect first

since it is considered the master gland of the endo system.

especially if the statement made in a previous post about " floating

embryonic tissue is true " I just wonder how much research has been

done -

Functions of the pituitary gland:

Each lobe of the pituitary gland produces certain hormones.

anterior lobe:

growth hormone

prolactin - to stimulate milk production after giving birth

ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) - to stimulate the adrenal glands

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) - to stimulate the thyroid gland

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) - to stimulate the ovaries and

testes

LH (luteinizing hormone) - to stimulate the ovaries or testes

intermediate lobe:

melanocyte-stimulating hormone - to control skin pigmentation

posterior lobe:

ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - to increase absorption of water into

the blood

by the kidneys

oxytocin - to contract the uterus during childbirth and stimulate

milk production

I suggest we do some thinking about these surveys before they go out. We can get better information if more thought is put into the questions and answers. I would be glad to look at them first and can put together a list of over 100 questions that I would like to use.

Nothing worse than the new person, I was just a little over zealous.
