Answer: The correct answer is that steroidal hormones enter the nucleus and change gene expression in a target cell.
Steroidal hormones are hydrophobic in nature due to which they easily cross plasma membrane (lipid bilayer).
Their receptors are generally present inside the cell either in cytoplasm or on nuclear membrane.
They usually produce their effect by changing the gene expression of the cell.
Example of steroidal hormone may include estrogen, testosterone, et cetera.
I believe the correct answer is C. Enter the nucleus and change gene expression in the target cell.
Steroid hormones are released by steroid glands namely the testes, the ovaries and the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland. They are lipophylic and can pass through the cell membrane of the target cell producing a faster response.
Steroid hormones belong to a class of body chemicals called steroids that are formed during the process of steroidogenesis. Examples include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and glucocorticoids produced by the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland on top of the kidney. The adrenal gland is divided into the adrenal medulla that produced epinephrine and norepinephrine and the adrenal cortex that is further divided into 3 regions i.e. the zona reticularis is the lowest layer and produces the hormones testosterone and estrogen that are both steroid hormones, middle zona fasculata that makes mineralocorticoids and the topmost layer called the zona glomerulosa that produces pure steroid hormones such as cortisol that helps the body to respond to stress.
The steroid hormones are lipophilic (lipid loving) hence they can pass through the membrane of the cell much more easily and reach the nucleus of the cells to cause a change in gene expression. This hormone is in contrast to the other hormone type i.e. non steroid hormones that are made of chains of amino acids to be polypeptides. They are the majority of hormones and attach to cellular receptors such as g protein coupled receptors (GPCR) then cause phosphorylation in the cell via the cAMP pathway to cause the cell to undergo changes in gene expression. They are lipophobic (lipid hating) meaning they cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The hormones can be local acting and act on the same cell that produced the hormone (autocrine), acting on neighboring cells (paracrine) or acting on distant cells (endocrine). They function the same as neurons to produce a response but they are slower and have a long lasting effect compared to neurons. They also are chemical signals compared to the electrical signals of neurons.
