Aldosterone, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, can play a role in both high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease.

This triggers the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that suppresses immune responses.

They work in part as an appetite suppressant by mimicking a hormone, which makes people feel fuller.

"People usually think menopause is the single most acute shift in hormone levels that a woman will ever experience, but actually the few days surrounding childbirth are."

The term “gender-affirming care” can refer to therapy, hormone blockers or surgical procedures.
