    changes in body functions due to hormone activity

    Hormonal effects refer to the changes in the body that occur due to the action of hormones, which are chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system. These effects can influence various physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, mood, and reproductive functions. For example, fluctuations in hormones like estrogen and testosterone can impact hair growth and contribute to conditions such as alopecia.
