What Are Hormones?

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted directly into the bloodstream. They assist the body in hundreds of its necessary functions. Some of these include:

• Metabolism
• Heart rate
• Appetite
• Sleep
• Sexual function
• Mood and emotions
• Stress responses
• Body temperature
• Fertility
• Tissue growth

However, that doesn’t mean that men can’t be affected by hormones gone awry.
