The phrase "alteration of hormone" is not correct in standard English usage; it should be "alteration of hormones." You can use it when discussing changes or modifications in hormone levels or functions in a biological or medical context.
Example: "The alteration of hormones during puberty can lead to significant physical and emotional changes."
Alternatives: "change in hormone levels" or "modification of hormones."
XEs can also cause alteration of hormone levels via changes in hormone production, metabolism, or transport (Sonnenschein and Soto 1998).
These substances deemed "endocrine disrupting compounds," or EDCs, are agents that disrupt or enhance known regulatory functions of the endocrine system and function through multiple mechanisms, including alteration of hormone receptor function (Henley 2006; Welshons et al. 2003).
The potential mechanisms underlying alcohol's effects include the carcinogenicity of acetaldehyde (for colorectal cancer and upper aero-digestive tract cancers), which is an intermediate product of alcohol metabolism; impairment of the one-carbon nutrient metabolism (for colorectal cancer); alteration of hormone levels (for breast cancer); and oxidative stress resulting from alcohol metabolism.
Alteration of hormones which affect glucose homeostasis Ingestion of a high-protein meal has been shown to increase circulating plasma glucagon in both healthy people and people with type 1 diabetes [ 45 – 47 ].
Two mechanisms have been proposed by which dietary protein may cause delayed and sustained postprandial glycaemic excursions in people with type 1 diabetes: (1) the alteration of hormones which affects glucose homeostasis and (2) the conversion of amino acids to glucose by gluconeogenic pathways.
Thus, it is very difficult to correlate the alterations of hormone status with exposure of environmental endocrine disruptors.
This animal model goes in parallel with the clinical scenario including the alterations of hormone receptors expression and leukocytic infiltration.
Because of the complex interaction among different hormones, the alteration of endogenous hormone levels can provide further insight into the relationship of endogenous hormones to starch accumulation.
These aspects can be regulated by sleep and its disorders as a result of alterations of hormones and neurotransmitters, and their circadian rhythms.
The previously reported anticarcinogenic effect of CLA reported by other investigators may be partially due to lowered IGF-1 levels without the alteration of other hormone levels.
Moreover, we found that starch accumulation in duckweed was accompanied by alteration of endogenous hormone levels.
