Hormonal synthesis

Hormonal synthesis is the process by which the body produces hormones, which are chemical messengers that regulate various functions like growth, metabolism, and mood. It occurs mainly in glands such as the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. The process involves converting specific nutrients or precursors into hormones through biochemical reactions controlled by enzymes. Once synthesized, hormones are released into the bloodstream, where they travel to target organs or tissues to trigger specific responses. This carefully regulated process ensures the body maintains balance and responds appropriately to different needs or stresses.
