Hormones may be defined as the chemical messengers of the body that can transmit information and maintains homeostasis. The hormones can directly go into the bloodstream and may release through the special ducts.
The receptors of the hormone is required for the binding of the receptors. To maintain the normal homeostasis of the body, the body shows the up regulation and down regulation. In up regulation the hormone levels increases in the body by increasing the receptor on the specific target organ.
Well it may depend on the environments and what percentage of the endangered animal is actually consuming the endangered plants... Thats just my guess.
