Hormone Manipulation

The power to **manipulate hormones of oneself and others.** Sub-power of Body Chemistry Manipulation.

## Also Called

* Hormone Control
* Hormonal Manipulation/Control

## Capabilities

The user has complete control over the hormones of oneself and others, allowing them to freely alter and manipulate them.

Hormones are chemical released by a cell, a gland, or an organ in one part of the body that affects cells in other parts of the organism. Generally, only a small amount of hormone is required to alter cell metabolism. In essence, it is a chemical messenger that transports a signal from one cell to another.

In mammals hormones have the following effects on the body: stimulation or inhibition of growth, mood swings, induction or suppression of apoptosis (programmed cell death), activation or inhibition of the immune system, regulation of metabolism, preparation of the body for mating, fighting, fleeing, and other activity, preparation of the body for a new phase of life, such as puberty, parenting, and menopause, control of the reproductive cycle, hunger cravings and sexual arousal.
