Abstract

Hormoni su izvanstanični kemijski glasnici koje, kao odgovor na određeni signal, endokrine žlijezde ili difuzno razdijeljene specijalizirane stanice luče u krv kojom dolaze do drugih mjesta u tijelu gdje se nalaze ciljne stanice na koje djeluju. One imaju specifične receptore na koje se mogu vezati samo određeni hormoni. Postoje različiti tipovi hormona koji djeluju na različite aspekte tjelesnih funkcija i procesa: održavanje krvne osmolarnosti i krvnog šećera, regulacija metabolitičkih funkcija ( nadziranje brzine kemijskih reakcija, prijenosa tvari kroz membrane ili drugih značajki metabolizma poput rasta i izlučivanja), kontrola seksualne aktivnosti i reproduktivnog ciklusa i oblikovanje ponašanja. U ovom radu izložen je kratki pregled spolnih hormona i utjecaja koje oni imaju na oblikovanje ponašanja u sisavaca, s naglaskom na čovjeka. Spolni hormoni su bitni kako u razvoju i morfološkoj diferencijaciji spolnih organa i spolnoj diferencijaciji mozga, tako i u aktiviranju i regulaciji muškog i ženskog seksualnog ponašanja i ciklusa, kao i u odrednicama i izvedbi nekih čimbenika generalnog ponašanja.

Abstract (english)

Hormones are extracellular chemical messengers that, in response to a particular signal, endocrine glands or diffusely distributed specialized cells, secrete into the blood which carries them to other places in the body where are target cells they operate. They have specific receptors that can bind only certain hormones. There are many different types of hormones that act on different aspects of body functions and processes: maintaining blood osmolarity and blood sugar, regulation of metabolic function (monitoring the speed of chemical reactions, mass transport through membranes and other metabolism features like excretion or growth), control of sexual activity and reproductive cycle and shaping behavior. This work provides a short overview of sex hormones and the impact they have on shaping behavior in mammals, with emphasis on humans. Sex hormones are essential to the development and morphological differentiation of the sexual organs and sexual differentiation of the brain, and for activation and regulation of male and female sexual behavior and cycles, as well as for determinants and implementation of some factors of general behavior.
