In addition, moxonidine may also promote sodium excretion, improve insulin resistance and glucose tolerance and protect against hypertensive target organ damage, such as kidney disease and cardiac hypertrophy.

The gonads ovaries are the primary target organs for LH and FSH . The gonadotropins affect multiple cell types and elicit multiple responses from the target organs.

The autonomic nervous system is unique in that it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating the target organ.

The targeting by cancer cells of specific organs is probably regulated by chemo-attractant factors and adhesion molecules produced by the target organ, along with cell-surface receptors expressed by the tumor cells.
36.
To reach target organs and glands, the axons must travel long distances in the body, and, to accomplish this, many axons relay their message to a second cell through synaptic transmission.
37.
Similarly, evidence is mounting that the target organs are the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the lower brain and the adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys and secrete stress hormones.
38.
Hormones or substances with hormone disrupting capability may interfere with pubertal development by actions at different levels hypothalamic-pituitary axis, gonads, peripheral target organs such as the breast, hair follicles and genitals.
39.
Hormones have many different functions and modes of action; one hormone may have several effects on different target organs, and, conversely, one target organ may be affected by more than one hormone.

In both humans and animals, the major target organs for copper deficiency are the blood and hematopoietic system, the cardiovascular system, connective tissue and bone, the nervous system, and the immune system.
