[Functional activity of the hypophysis and gonads in women with hypertension]
Abstract:
An attempt is made to demonstrate a relationship between changes in arterial blood pressure and sex steroids, gonadotrophins and mineralocorticoids in 30- to 55-year-old females with essential hypertension, employed in textile industry in Cheboksary. Climacteric and menopausal patterns of sex steroid and gonadotrophin secretion are discussed. A definite relationship between essential hypertension, elevated estradiol and testosterone and lowered gonadotrophins is demonstrated. It is suggested that climacteric and menopausal blood pressure disorders may be related to changes in gonadal and adrenal activity.

Gonadal and Placental Hormones
In males, testosterone is the primary gonadal androgen. It plays a central role in the maturation of male reproductive organs — the penis and testes. Additionally, testosterone is instrumental in the development of secondary sexual characteristics — a deep voice as well as facial and pubic hair growth — and...

Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction while...
