• Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that we eat, for energy or to store glucose for future use incase blood sugar becomes less. In this way it keeps our sugar level in check. Incase our body stops producing insulin, the blood sugar levels will shoot up and lead to a condition called diabetes.
• Estrogen is the hormone secreted in females at puberty. Estrogen plays a role in the development of so-called female secondary sex characteristics, such as breasts, wider hips, pubic hair and armpit hair.
• Thyroxine is the hormone which plays a crucial role in heart and digestive function, metabolism, brain development, bone health and muscle control. Goitre is a condition in which this hormone is deficient. It leads to buldging throat.
