49
Q

What are the steps in the Mechanism of Action for a Lipid-Soluble Hormone?

A

1) Diffuses from blood to interstitial fluid to lipid bilayer (most cases)
2) Binds and activates receptors in cytosol or nucleus, altering gene expression
3) Transcription leads to new mRNA which leaves the nucleus and enters the cytosol
4) New mRNA directs synthesis of new proteins (often an enzyme)
5) New protein alters Cell’s Activity (Response to hormone)

50
Q

What is significant about Water-Soluble Hormones interaction with the plasma membrane of a cell?

A
  • Cannot diffuse across the membrane.

- Bind to transmembrane receptors on cell surface

51
Q

When a hormone binds to a cell-surface receptor and initiates intracellular activity, the hormone is a?

A

First Messenger

52
Q

The signal received from the cells surface via a first messenger triggers an action that produces cellular response via what?

A

Second Messenger

53
Q

The Second Messengers are considered to be what, since they mediate a hormone’s action?

A

Intracellular Mediators

54
Q

What makes a hormone’s action adequate even when plasma concentrations are low?

A

Effect of a single hormone molecule is amplified via a cascade effect inside the cell in which each step amplifies the initial effect

55
Q

What is the difference between Synergistic Effect and permissive Effect?

A

Synergistic: Two or more hormones produce same effects in a target cell and their effect are amplified when combined.
Permissive: Hormone cannot exert its full effects without the presence of another hormone.
