Why do lipophilic hormones require carrier proteins while being transported in the blood?

Biology

valina [46]3 years ago
6 0

Lipophilic hormones, intuitive as the name suggests, tend to dissolve well in lipids/fats than they do in water. Therefore lipophilic hormone does not dissolve well in blood plasma which would affect their diffusion.  The carrier proteins are mainly the serum albumins.
