One category is called anabolic and the other category would be catabolic.

Now anabolic has everything to do with building something up, and catabolic is

breaking something down. So when you eat food, you have this catabolic effect, all these enzymes

that break down food into their basic building blocks, amino acids, fatty acids, glucose, etc. And then you have all the anabolic

hormones that kick in and take these building blocks and make body tissue out of them. And so when

the prostate enlarges, it's obvious that you have this anabolic thing going on, right? If we take a look at all the antibiotic hormones,

we have prolactin, which,
