what endocrine glands affect human hair growth. what syndromes result in abnormal hair growth patterns.?

---

The endocrine glands that affect human hair growth patterns are.
1.The adrenal glands-
lts different parts produce different hormones among which are
1. cortisol and 2.adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH).
Hypercortisolaemia is an abnormally high level of cortisol in the body and causes CUSHING'S SYNDROME.ln this syndrome,there is hirsuitism ,a male hair distribution pattern with increased hairiness in males,beards and/or moustaches in females and increased body hair ,in asssociation with thinning of the skin and striae formation.
When there is a decreased level of ACTH in the body,you have Addison's disease,but this affects pigmentation ( amongst other things) and not hair distribution.
2.The Thyroid gland
This produces thyroid hormones and when there is Hypothyroidism,hair pattern becomes sparse,dry and thin.Syndromes associated with this include Hashimoto's and Pendred's syndromes.
3.The Ovary
Stein-Leventhal Syndrome causes a hirsute appearance and occurs only in women with polycystic ovarian disease.Affected women are obese,hairy and 'virilised' and suffer amenorrhoea or other menstrual irregularities.  (+ info)

What kind of vitamins help the endocrine system work?

---

I have a lousy thyroid, what kind of vitamin's, etc, can I take to feel better, what helps the endocrine system?
Erm... all of them?? I can't think of a vitamin that isn't related to the endocrine system. But since I'm not a medic, that's not really an expert opinion! I know that the B-vitamins help perk you up and make you more alert, particularly B12 I think, but too much of one causes a relative imbalance in the others so in terms of supplements, a vitamin B-compelx tablet would be the best bet.  (+ info)
