The key to using gum colour as a way of identifying health problems in your pet is to know the normal gum colour of your pet so you can identify when that colour changes in some way.

Endocrine hormone. A chemical substance that is produced by an endocrine gland and then secreted directly into the blood stream and carried throughout the body where they bind to a target organ cell with specific receptors triggering a reaction. Hyperglycemic Hormone. Promotes a rise in the blood glucose levels.
Hormonal Regulation of Hormone Release. Hormonal regulation of hormone release involves a hormone binding to its receptor on an endocrine cell to regulate hormonal secretion. A hormone that stimulates hormone secretion is called a tropic hormone. Tropic hormones may also stimulate proliferation of endocrine cells.or polar hormones, tropic hormones stimulate endocrine secretion by stimulating cell secretion; that is, exocytosis. An example is the regulation of growth hormone (GH) secretion by the tropic hormone growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) . GHRH is a hypophysiotropic hormone.
