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.
