Two Hormones That Have Additive Effects are Called

Question

Two hormones that have additive effects are called
A) antagonists.
B) agonists.
C) resistors.
D) synergists.
E) adjuvants.

Accepted Answer

Two hormones that have additive effects are referred to as synergists. Synergy occurs when the combined effects of two hormones are greater than the sum of their individual effects. This can occur when two hormones have different mechanisms of action but exert similar physiological responses or when they have similar mechanisms of action and enhance each other's effects.
