Age related changes
Some hormone levels decline with aging, but
certain hormones stay at levels characteristic
of those of younger people, and others rise
further. Even though levels of hormones do
not decrease, endocrine activity usually
declines with age, as receptors of hormones
are less receptive. Some hormones that
decrease include are Estrogen in women,
Testosterone in men, Growth hormone and
Melatonin (Vitale, Cesari & Mari, 2016).
Gender related changes

are called androgen and estrogen. The testes in
males is responsible for producing androgen an
d ovaries in female is responsible for producing
estrogen. Generally speaking, females and
males have similar kind of hormones
like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone,

and associations with various bodies, processes,
and apparatuses vary. Declining hormone levels
in women contribute to menopause.
