A disease or syndrome characterized by inadequate amounts of corticosteroid hormones.

The constructive phase of metabolism in which body cells repair and replace tissue

A chemical compound having a structure similar to another but differing from it in some way.

Hyperadrenocorticism; a disease or syndrome characterized by an overabundance of corticosteroid hormones.

A condition that occurs due to insulin deficiency.

The mucous membrane lining of the uterus.

The rate at which animals convert feed into tissue. It is expressed as the number of pounds or kilograms of feed needed to produce 1 lb or 1 kg of animal.

The return of some of the output product of a process as input in a way that controls the process.

A hormone that stimulates the ovaries or testes.

Hypophyseal portal system

This is the portal system of the pituitary gland in which venules from the hypothalamus connect with capillaries of the anterior pituitary.

Caused by the physician (veterinarian).

The return of a reproductive organ to normal size after delivery.

Excessive ketones made from fat as an emergency fuel source. Ketone levels increase causing a shift in the acid/base balance.

Left-sided arrangement of a molecule that may exist in a left- or a right-sided configuration. Levo and dextro isomers have the same molecular formula.

A muscle fibril composed of numerous myofilaments.

The condition of the body as it relates to protein intake and use. Positive nitrogen balance implies a net gain in body protein.

Primary hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism resulting from a pathologic condition in the thyroid.

Releasing factor (releasing hormone)

A hormone produced by the hypothalamus and transported to the anterior pituitary to stimulate the release of trophic hormones.

A hormone that results in production of a second hormone in a target gland.
