How did those hypo-
thalamus cells learn the
formulae for this hor-
mone, which performs
very important functions—
as you shall soon see?
The formula for this hor-
mone is encoded in the DNA.
This, of course, is just one of the
proofs of Almighty God's mirac-
ulous creation. You should also
remember that there are codes
belonging to the hormone vaso-
pressin in the DNA in the nuclei of every
cell in your human body. However, neither your liver cells, nor your stom-
ach cells nor your muscle cells ever use this code—only those in the hypo-
thalamus, which produce the vasopressin. How has this division of labor
been established? What prevents other cells from using this code?
The marvels concerning vasopressin are by no means limited to these.
Once the vasopressin has been manufactured, it is transferred to the pitu-
itary gland by being packaged inside another protein, and stored there
until the time comes for it to be used. Tiny structures within the cell, too
small to be visible without a microscope, work like different units in a fac-
tory, organized along the most finely detailed lines. (Figures 5 through-7.)
After the message arrives, vasopressin is released into the blood-
stream from the pituitary gland and immediately reaches the kidney
