Effects MGH grants temporary powers to whoever takes it, described as a temporary genetic shift . Usually, when the source is unspecified, the effect is increased strength and aggression. If someone who already has superhuman powers takes MGH, those powers are enhanced. History The first appearance of MGH is in Amazing Adventures vol. 2 11 created by Dr. Hank McCoy, also known as the X Men X Man Beast comics Beast . McCoy discovered what would later become MGH while working for the Roxxon Energy Corporation Brand Corporation . He consumed it in an effort to protect his fledgling discovery from a rival scientist. The not yet addictive drug caused Beast to grow gray fur which later turned blue all over his body and acquire sharp ears, elongated canine teeth, claws, enhanced senses and an accelerated healing factor. When he could not reverse the mutation, McCoy came to accept his fate, though his actions continue to haunt him to this day. In one supposed appearance of the drug, it was passed around to a party crowd which gave them all very familiar powers and caused them to run amok. ref Iron Man vol. 3, 33 34 ref The drug was not named, but it could easily have been MGH.

distinguish Release factor A releasing hormone or releasing factor is a hormone whose main purpose is to control the release of another hormone. The main releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus are Thyrotropin releasing hormone TRH , Corticotropin releasing hormone CRH , Gonadotropin releasing hormone GnRH , Growthhormone releasing hormone GHRH , Two other factors are also classed as releasing hormones, although they in fact inhibit pituitary hormone release Somatostatin , Dopamine . For example, TRH is released from the hypothalamus in response to low levels of secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone TSH from the pituitary gland . The TSH in turn is under feedback control by the thyroid hormones Thyroxine T4 and Triiodothyronine T3 . When the levels of TSH are too high, they feed back on the brain to shut down the secretion of TRH. Synthetic TRH is also used by physicians as a test of TSH reserve in the pituitary gland as it should stimulate the release of TSH and prolactin from this gland. Releasing hormones are sometimes known as liberins. For example, TRH may be known as thyroliberin. Inhibiting hormones may be known as statins. For example, dopamine which inhibits prolactin release may be called prolactostatin. Mechanism Releasing hormones increase or, in case of inhibitory factors, decrease the intracellular concentration of calcium Ca sup 2 sup , resulting in vesicle fusion of the respective primary hormone. For GnRH, TRH and GHRH the increase in Ca sup 2 sup is achieved by the releasing hormone coupling and activating G protein coupled receptors coupled to the Gq alpha subunit G sub q sub alpha subunit , activating the IP3 DAG pathway to increase Ca sup 2 ... and Medicine in 1977 for their contributions to understanding the peptide hormone production ... 11 Fulltext .

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Unreferenced date August 2010 Expert subject date August 2010 Stress hormones such as cortisol , growth hormone GH and norepinephrine are released at periods of high stress. The hormone regulating system is known as the endocrine system . Cortisol is believed to affect the metabolism metabolic system and norepinephrine is believed to play a role in ADHD as well as Depression mood depression and hypertension . Stress hormones rise in the body during any neuroendocrine reaction such as surgery and they remain high to as long as 72 hours after which all these hormones return back to their normal level, the last being cortisol. Currently there are medications available which block the release of stress hormones. Stress hormones act by, Mobilizing energy from storage to muscles, Increasing heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate and Shutting down metabolic processes such as digestion, reproduction, growth and immunity. Constant stress causes continual release of stress hormone which causes A depletion of energy storage High blood pressure Stress induced hypertension Affects on metabolic processes Ulcers digestion Hampers growth Decrease in testosterone levels in males and irregular menstrual cycles in females.

No footnotes date February 2011 The gastrointestinal hormones or gut hormones constitute a group of hormone s secreted by enteroendocrine cell s in the stomach , pancreas , and small intestine that control various functions of the digestive organs. Later studies showed that most of the gut peptides, such as secretin , cholecystokinin or substance P , were found to play a role of neurotransmitter s and neuromodulator s in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Enteroendocrine cells do not form endocrine glands but are spread throughout the digestive tract. They exert their autocrine and paracrine actions that integrate all of gastrointestinal function. Types of Gastrointestinal hormones The gastrointestinal hormones can be divided into three main groups based upon their chemical structure . Gastrin family Gastrin cholecystokinin family gastrin and cholecystokinin Secretin family secretin , glucagon , vasoactive intestinal peptide and gastric inhibitory peptide Somatostatin family Motilin family Substance P . Ghrelin is a peptide hormone released from the stomach and is often referred to as the hunger hormone since high levels of it are found in individuals that are fasting. Ghrelin antagonistic treatments can be used to treat illnesses such as anorexia and loss of appetites in cancer patients. Ghrelin treatments for obesity are still under intense scrutiny and no conclusive evidence has been reached. This hormone stimulates growthhormone release. Cholecystokinin is responsible for gall bladder secretions, gastrointestinal motility as well as pancreatic exocrine secretions. Peptide YY is involved mostly in satiation modulation. Pancreatic polypeptide function is most apparent in control of gastrointestinal motility and satiation Amylin controls glucose homeostasis and gastric ... as well as satiation Glucagon like peptide 2 is responsible for gastrointestinal motility and growth Oxyntomodulin plays a role in controlling acid secretion and satiation See also hormone , endocrine ... more details
