mechanisms of steroid and nonsteroid hormone action
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| nonsteroid | does NOT enter, works fast |
| doorbell | nonsteroid |
| camp- 2nd messenger- | goes in cell and activates enzymes |
| steroid | can enter cell through membrane, lasts longer |
| what does steroid do | binds to receptor(nucleus) and turns genes on/off and MAKES new protein to change cell activity |
| why is steroid slower | bc they make new protein to change dna |
| neg. feedback loop | reverses change ex. thermostat, insulin release- common |
| pos. feedback loop | makes change bigger ex. oxytocin- rare |
| oxytocin | causes contractions |
| what if pancreas doesn't release enough insulin | then diabetes is most likely diagnosed |
