What will be an ideal response?
Synergism, permissiveness, and antagonism. An example of synergism is epinephrine's ability to potentiate the effects of glucagon in elevating blood glucose levels. Reproductive hormones along with adequate thyroid hormone have a permissive effect on the reproductive system because both are required for normal development. Glucagon and insulin are antagonistic hormones because they have opposing physiological actions on blood glucose levels.
