Which of the following are properties of steroid hormones? I) Steroid hormones are lipid soluble and easily cross the phospholip
id bilayer. II) Steroid hormones usually exert their effects on target cells through membrane receptor proteins. III) Steroid hormones act on cells close to where they were produced. IV) Steroid hormones regulate gene transcription by binding to intracellular receptor proteins.
The correct answer is option I) Steroid hormones are lipid soluble and easily cross the phospholipid bilayer.
The steroid hormones are made up of steroid molecules, the steroid molecules are hydrophobic and lipid soluble. This property makes help the steroid molecule to cross the phospholipid bilayer membrane easily. The steroid molecule has a direct influence on the genome transcription, they act by binding with the DNA as a transcriptional factor.
The changes in eating noted in the first study are due to fibers that are passing through the lateral hypothalamus. The lateral hypothalamus is a region of the brain with a key function of coordinating an array of cognitive and physical processes such as feeding
