Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You have a higher risk of kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease damages the nephrons slowly over several years. Other kidney problems include. Cancer.
Follicle-stimulating hormone. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland, and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) work together in the reproductive system.
Other examples of peptide hormones that stimulate nonpolar hormone release are the gonadotropins (FSH and LH) that control gonadal steroid secretion, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that controls thyroid hormone secretion.Recall that endocrine secretion is whatever occurs to increase the amount of hormone in the circulation). An example is the hormone adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) that stimulates secretion of the steroid hormone cortisol by cells of the zona fasciculata in the adrenal cortex.
