Hormone Interactions • The effects of combined actions • • • • Antagonism Additive Synergistic Permissiveness © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. Antagonism • Effects of hormones oppose each other • Example: Glucagon versus insulin • Glucagon increases blood glucose levels • Insulin decreases blood glucose levels © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. Additive Effect • Net effect equals the sum of the individual effects © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. Synergism • Synergism: Effects of two hormones favor each other but the net effect exceeds the sum of individual effects • Example: The effects of glucagon, cortisol, and epinephrine on blood glucose © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. Permissiveness • One hormone is needed for another to exert its effects • Examples: • Thyroid hormones cause expression of β adrenergic receptors in bronchiolar smooth muscle • Estrogen causes expression of progesterone receptors in the uterus © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc.
