Hormones can increase or decrease your metabolism rate, especially the hormones that are made in your thyroid. people with a ill working thyroid have a significant slower metabolism. The hormones you read about are not the hormones we usually speak of but the hormones everybody has the same (men and women) that make your body function.
Other things with hormones (in the sense we talk about) are the following: your metabolism works faster when you have your period (you can eat about 30% more without gaining) but the two days before your period it works slower for most woman. After pregnancy your metabolism works faster too.

It is simply so that hormones make your body function and they affect the speed your body burns energy, which is your metabolism.

But like deb said if you are feeling fine there is nothing to worry about. If there is something wrong with your hormones you would absolutely notice it.
