Hormonal Problems
31 March 2005So I’m a female, so my hormones kick up a huge storm now and then but now… ALL the hormones are kicking up a big fuss.
Endocrine ICA is just around the corner (well, it’s on Friday aka tomorrow) and I’m not prepared yet. In fact, it still feels as if sem 4 just started! To make matters worse, I need to score well for this system! To prove a point to someone…
OMG, this sucks.. and it sucks real bad.

Woke up in the morning to find myself sneezing away…
Looks like stress is kicking in, my hypothalamus is having fun releasing CRH and influencing her good friend, the anterior pituitary release ACTH who shares the joy with her friend, adrenal cortex.. who goes on a cortisol releasing spree. So now I’ve got greater protein catabolism, my liver uptake of amino acids goes up and there is increased gluconeogenesis. Catabolism of triacylglycerol in adipose tissues, releasing glycerol and fatty acids has also kicked in. And glucose uptake and oxidation by body cells (not the brain ones) has been inhibited. I’ve got enhanced vascular activity. But sad sad sad to say, my *sobz* immune system *sobz* has been *sobz* suppressed *sobz and I’M FALLING SICK!!! *major sobz* (yeah, I’m being dramatic)
Teetree is beeping away ‘cos I’ve got overdue stuff on my to-do list. I looked and OMG! It’s the 3 readings that I’m supposed to do before tomorrow’s debate training. I’ve got them somewhere, but haven’t really sat down to read them. Gosh… my hypothalamus must be having a whale of a time.
