Expert Solution

1) Lipid soluble Hormones :-

A lipophilic hormone is a hormone that passes through plasma membrane of a cell, binds to an intracellular receptor and changes gene expression.

For e.g. Steroid hormones :- Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone etc.

Mechanism of action :-

Lipid soluble hormones diffuse through the plasma membrane.

⬇️

Hormone binds to its receptor.

⬇️

Form hormone-receptor complex.

⬇️

In the nuclues this hormone-receptor complex binds to the receptor site on the chromatin which leads to activation of mRNA transcription.

⬇️

Expression of the gene.

⬇️

Physiological response.

2) Water soluble hormones :-

A lipophobic hormone is a hormone that cannot diffuse through plasma membrane of cell, binds to receptor on the plasma membrane of cell and exerts its action.

For e.g. Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Insulin, Luteinizing hormone (LH) etc.

Mechanism of action :-

Water soluble hormone cannot diffuse through plasma membrane so it binds to receptor protein on the plasma membrane of the cell.

⬇️

Stimulation/Activation of the receptor.

⬇️

Intracellular signalling pathway (generation of second messengers, activation of cascade)

⬇️

Terminal protein in this signalling cascade is activated (Activation protein kinases).

⬇️

Phosphorylation of proteins.

⬇️

Physiological response.

Distinguish between water-soluble (hydrophilic) and lipid-soluble (hydrophobic) hormones. List examples of each. Describe how each are secreted from cells, travel via the circulatory system, receptor location on target cells, and mechanism(s) for eliciting cellular responses. What are endocrine glands? List several examples. (Contrast these with exocrine glands. You learned about several of these when you studied digestion.) Note that many endocrine glands are also organs with other functions.

Which of the following is an accurate statement regarding the difference between lipid-soluble and water-soluble hormones? a.Lipid-soluble hormones do not directly activate genes; water-soluble hormones directly activate genes. b.Lipid-soluble hormones cannot pass through cell membranes; in general, water-soluble hormones can. c.Lipid-soluble hormones are made from amino acids whereas water-soluble hormones are not. d.Lipid-soluble hormones attach to receptors in the cytoplasm; water-soluble hormones attach to membrane-enclosed receptors.

The mechanism of action for sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone are similar, albeit in opposite sexes. What is the mechanism of action for each hormone. What are the common structures, pathways, and feedback loops in these pathways. Said another way: these mechanisms of action are not all that different, so that you can minimize what you are learning as new, what is the common pathway (structures and function) and then note the unique differences (structures and or function).
