What's your favourite hormone?

    I think mine has to be adrenaline, I love the feeling of butterflies, whether good or bad! I guess my least hormone would be the one that makes me cry and sulk for no reason (posibly estrogen?).

    Testosterone is probably my favourite, because without it I'd be a chick! And I don't want people thinking I'm a girl, now do I? (grr fonpokno :mad:)

    Least favourite? Whichever ones are responsible for acne.

    I definitely share your hatred on that one! :mad:

    Hey girls have testosterone too! Just tiny amounts, don't wanna be turning into giant hairy man-beasts though!

    That'd be testostrone ;)

    Well partially :p

    Is that why guys seem to have more acne than girls?


    Yeah I don't like testosterone, it's responsible for so many bad things!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    Adrenaline ftw.

    No, it's because we don't have make-up to cover it up :p

    Nah, that'd be makeup :p

    But seriously, yeah, excessive androgens present in the adolescent body are a big factor in acne. That's why the pill is prescribed to girls with acne.


    My doctor once consoled me for my acne by saying, "well it's a sign you have a lot of testosterone anyway" *wink.

    Unfortunately, he's a middle aged man, and not a young, hot female doctor.

    EDIT: Heh, challengemaster got there before me with the makeup quip. It's quite true though. Look at videos from the 70s/80s when wearing makeup was less prevalent among young girls. They seem to have a lot more acne than girls nowadays.

    Personally I'm a big fan of estrogen.

    How do you make a hormone?
    Kick her in the gee



    Have fun kids, stay safe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Estradiol. Funbags would be a whole lot less fun without it.

    I tend to take my hormones for granted-mostly because I've never met any of them.

    But, I hear good things about Growth Hormone. It's been good to me;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭donmeister


    Plenty of seratonin,you gotta' love that!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Actually yeah I love seratonin.

    Hugs for Squigloo! *hugs*

    Serotonin wins always. Chocolate gives me serotonin. Exercise would also give me that but meh!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭tribulus


    Test, because without it I'd be all weak and small.

    Good for some sports related aggression too!

    I hate Insulin. "No no no, Overheal, we're saving all that fat for a rainy day." Ass.

    It's been cruel to me ...it apparently decided to fcuk after I hit 12. So, I've been the same height since then. I've actually met first year secondary school students who are taller than me. Oh, the pain of it all!:pac:

    I do love adrenaline, though. Or the one that's released when you eat chocolate, listen to music, or are in love! (Aw!) :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    the thyroid hormones can be pretty awesome. had problems with mine, meant i had tonnes of energy, didnt need hardly any sleep and could eat as much junk as i wanted and lose weight!

    alas, my thyroid gland has since been 'fixed' (removed), and all is working normally. :(

    twas fun while it lasted though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,281 ✭✭✭Ricky91t

    i could have sworn that it was either serotonin or melatonin thats was released in those circumstances, im possibly wrong though. im no expert

    Edit: my fav would have to be, growth hormone, reaching 6ft at the age of 16 and still a bit of growth left in me. man beasts FTW!

    Seratonin actually is better than adrenaline on second thoughts, I prefer the calm happy buzz to the figety, twitchy buzz.
