Women taking hormonal birth control have a statistically decreased risk of requiring an anterior cruciate ligament injury leading to surgery. The protective effect of hormonal birth control is evident irrespective of whether by device, oral medication, or systemic administration. Additionally, the benefits are seen with diverse products. Due to the complexity and interactions of hormones on physiology, the mechanism of this protection is unclear, yet it has been shown that hormonal fluctuations affect postural stability, cognitive performance, and brain function including risk aversion. Finally, this effect is not seen in women between 15-19 years of age, although data collection may be poor on this age group for this topic.

Maternal thyroid dysfunction can negatively influence fetal and/or neonatal thyroid hormone homeostasis. Autoantibodies associated with autoimmune thyroid disease can cross the placenta. TSH receptor antibodies (TRAbs) can either stimulate or block the TSH receptor, and both types of antibodies can be present in the same person.

Hormones are complex biosocial objects that provoke myriad cultural narratives through their association with social activities and identities, and these narratives have the power to shape people's lived realities and bodies. While hormones were historically conceptualised as 'master molecules' capable of controlling various life processes, their explanatory potential has now been overshadowed by technoscientific developments like omics- and gene-based biotechnologies that have reframed how human bodies and behaviours are understood. Considering these shifts, this paper asks what roles hormones perform and what stories they are arousing today.

Research suggests that assisted reproductive technologies may lead to adverse effects on the offspring. To date, long-term effects from fetal development through adulthood have been scarcely researched. In the present observational study, we aimed to describe growth (body weight, BW; crown-rump length, CRL; and average daily gain, ADG), and growth-related hormone levels (growth hormone, GH; insulin-like growth factor 1, IGF-1; thyroxine, T4; cortisol) of pigs derived from artificial insemination (AI) and from embryos produced in vitro under two different conditions, C-IVP, with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), and RF-IVP, with reproductive fluids and BSA, as protein source in culture, from birth to 5 years of age.

Increasing number of pregnant women are consuming probiotics to promote their own health and that of their unborn fetus. Such supplements are presumed to be safe for pregnant mothers and their unborn offspring. For pregnant mothers, such bioactive compounds might lower the risk of constipation, diarrhea, other gastrointestinal conditions, pre-term birth, and prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and depression/anxiety.
