a thick, brown-green fluid secreted by the liver which is alkaline in its reactions, containing bile salts, bile pigments, CHOLESTEROL and inorganic salts. Bile is transferred from the liver to the DUODENUM via the bile duct which in many mammals contains a reservoir called the gall bladder.
Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.asopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
Growth Hormone Affects Carb, Fat, and Protein Metabolism Many bodybuilders, power athletes and older adults take growth hormone (GH) supplements to build muscle and cut fat. Researchers from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, in a review of literature, concluded that growth hormone has significant effects on the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. GH promotes protein synthesis mainly by increasing the production of the powerful growth factor IGF-1 in the liver and other tissues.
