Abstract
The effect of a hormone is dependent in part on the concentration of the hormone in the blood. Beyond its major role in the delivery of hormones to various organs and tissues, the cardiovascular system plays an important role in hormone inactivation by delivering hormones to inactivation sites, often the vascular endothelium. Inactivation sites enzymatically degrade, or selectively take up hormones for intracellular processing. A number of studies have modeled these inactivation processes and the fish gill emerges as ideally suited to decrease hormone titers in blood. This article summarizes the role of the cardiovascular system in hormone inactivation and describes methods used to mathematically model the inactivation process.
