Detailed explanation-1: -Once hormones have served their function on their target organs/tissues they are destroyed. They are either destroyed by the liver or the actual tissues of the target organs. They are then removed by the kidneys.
Detailed explanation-2: -The liver directly synthesizes multiple hormones, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and angiotensinogen.
Detailed explanation-3: -The liver regulates the balance of sex hormones, thyroid hormones, cortisone and other adrenal hormones. It transforms or removes any excess from the body. If the liver cannot do this properly, there is the risk of emotional imbalances.
Detailed explanation-4: -The hormone content in the blood may be normal, when the EG function is increased, if the liver removes them intensively, inactivates them and excretes in the bile. If the hormone excess exceeds the regulatory capacities of the liver, their level in the blood increases.
