Since the liver is the primary organ for metabolism, then in the setting of liver injury there will be reduced metabolism of compounds such as hormones. If these hormones are not metabolized and degraded in the liver, then these hormone levels will increase.

<em>A particular example is that the hormone estrogen is increased in the setting of liver damage, causing males with liver failure to have feminine characteristics.</em>

<span>The levels of such hormones in blood would be expected to increase. One of the roles of liver is enyzmatic degradation of hormones. Hormones are chemical messengers that carry information to the target cells through the blood stream. One of the elimination mechanism of these hormones is through enzymatic degradation in the liver. If the process of degradation is impaired it means that the hormones levels in the system will increase as the mechanism of elimination is not functional.</span>

What is RNA and what does it do?
bagirrra123 [75]
<span> RNA was thought of as little more than a messenger between DNA and proteins, carrying instructions as messenger RNA (mRNA) to build proteins. However, RNA can do far more. It can drive chemical reactions, like proteins, and carries genetic information, like DNA. And because RNA can do both these jobs, most scientists think life as we know it began in an RNA world, without DNA and proteins.</span>

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:Like many species of the coastal sage scrub, California sagebrush has adapted to summer drought by becoming dormant or semi-dormant during dry months. Winter-spring leaves are feathery and thin and support high rates of photosynthesis; consequently they also have high rates of water loss.
