Hormone As Hungry Goat....
a: Defective receptor ~
b: a gate with a broken lock
What: "Let's pretend that the defective receptor is like a gate with a broken lock and the hormone is a goat. Without the gate to keep the hormone where it's supposed to be, it wanders around to neighbors' yards and eats all their grass. So certain people have "damaged lawns," all because of a faulty gate."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
