Hormone

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the endocrine system. They are the signals which adjust the body's internal working, together with the nervous system.

Vitamin D is actually a hormone, and can greatly affect your sleep quality and many other bodily functions.

Men and women have the exact same hormones -- the differences lie in the hormone levels and patterns.

Cuddling with pets causes the release of the feel-good hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, and releases the same hormones in the pets.

Both humans and domestic dogs elicit a dramatic increase of oxytocin, the bonding hormone, from the other when staring into each other's eyes. Similar to a human mother and her infant.

The hormone that makes you grow is only produced when you sleep.

The word "Adrenalin" - which would become genericized as "adrenaline" - is actually a trademarked name for the hormone "epinephrine."
