- Sex Hormones (ex. Testosterone, estrogen)
Peptide Hormones
- Secretin & Gastrin

- Parathyroid Hormone

- Growth Hormone
Why does a steroid hormone need a transport protein?
1) Increase solubility

2) Decrease ability of peptidases to denature hormone before reaching target (Increases half-life)

3) Decrease release in kidney tubules (makes it big enough so that it's not flushed out)
Peptide Hormone Production
DNA --> mRNA --> Prohormone --> Hormone
Steroid Hormone Production
Cholesterol --> Cholesterol Ester --> Pregnenolone --> Hormone
Hormone Action Steps
1) Hormonal/Neuronal/Nutritional signal
