Hormones are secreted by glandular cells and elicit distinct responses in target cells, which contain the appropriate hormone receptors. According to their chemical nature and their mode of signal transduction, hormones are broadly classified into lipophilic and hydrophilic hormones. Lipophilic hormones, ...
activity of the various biological systems of the human body. The inefficiency of any of these hormonal control systems may lead to the improper functioning of the body. In this tutorial, get to know the different classes of hormones, metabolism, mechanism, and control of hormone secretions. ....

Most are steroids, but some non-steroidal molecules can interact with the steroid receptors because of a similarity of shape. Some synthetic steroids are weaker, and some much stronger, than the natural steroids whose receptors they activate. Some examples of synthetic steroid hormones: ...

Beaucoup d’hormones stéroïdes de mammifères utilisent ce mécanisme de signalisation cellulaire, tout comme le gaz d’oxyde nitrique (NO). Comme pour les récepteurs membranaires, la liaison d'un ligand à un récepteur situé dans le cytoplasme ou le noyau d'une cellule entraîne un...
The inhibitory effect of female sex steroid hormones on the binding of [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate [35S]TBPS to the chloride ion channel receptor in different forebrain areas of the female rat proved to be of a differential nature. The in vivo administration of estradiol and...

Steroid hormones perform many functions in cells, one of which is to activate gene expression by binding to steroid receptors, proteins in the cytoplasm that, when activated, act as transcription factors that initiate transcription. All steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and, as a resul...
