ECFCytoplasm Plasma
Capillaryendothelium
Messenger RNA on the ribosomes binds amino acids into a peptide chain called a preprohormone.The chain is directed into the ER lumen by a signal sequence of amino acids.

Steroid Hormones: Features
Cholesterol-derived Lipophilic and can enter target cell
Cytoplasmic or nuclear receptors (mostly)
Activate DNA for protein synthesis
Slower acting, longer half-life
Examples Cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone

Endocrine Control
Three levels Hypothalamic stimulation—from CNS
Pituitary stimulation—from hypothalamic trophic hormones
Endocrine gland stimulation—from pituitary trophic hormones
