Endocrine gland hormones at target cells "Permissiveness" is the situation in which a hormone cannot exert its full effects without the presence of another hormone. "Synergism" occurs when two or more hormones produce the same effects in a target cell and their results are amplified. "Antagonism" occurs when a hormone opposes or reverses the effect of another hormone. The endocrine glands belong to the body's control system. The hormones which they produce help to regulate the functions of cells and tissues throughout the body. Endocrine organs are activated to release their hormones by humoral, neural or hormonal stimuli. Negative feedback is important
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 are involved and selective resection of pathologic parathyroid glands for primary hyperparathyroidism. Familial genetic screening is recommended to identify at risk subjects who will develop the disease, permitting early management by performing prophylactic thyroidectomy, giving them the best chance of cure. Prognosis of MEN2 is mainly related to the stage-dependant prognosis of MTC indicating the necessity of a complete thyroid surgery for index cases with MTC and the early thyroidectomy for screened at risk subjects. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) (also known as "Pheochromocytoma and amyloid producing medullary thyroid carcinoma", "PTC syndrome," and "Sipple
