Hormones are required for the normal development of animals, plants and fungi. Due to the broad definition of a hormone (as a signaling molecule that exerts its effects far from its site of production), numerous kinds of molecules can be classified as hormones.
Hormones are signaling molecules secreted by endocrine organs that regulate physiological processes in target cells. They control growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, mood, and homeostasis. Unlike neurotransmitters, hormones are secreted into the bloodstream and act at distant sites.

Science Daily: Gut hormones' regulation of fat production abnormal in obesity, fatty liver disease
Gut hormones' regulation of fat production abnormal in obesity, fatty liver disease
Scientists discovered seven molecules in the blood linked to excessive daytime sleepiness, a condition that affects one in three Americans and raises the risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.
Every person has an individual chemical fingerprint. The composition of small molecules in the blood, such as fats or sugars, determines how our body reacts to external influences, which diseases we ...
