Expert Solution
Step 1

Hormones are referred to as the chemical messengers of the body which are secreted by the endocrine glands and carry out several functions in the body to sustain survival. Hormones are made up of proteins. These hormones can also be synthesized in the labs synthetically in the form of drugs so if any person suffering from deficiency or hormonal imbalance these drugs can be used to treat that condition.
