Among the given names of hormones, how many of them show a physiological response by changing the gene expression after binding with DNA inside the target cells?
Oxytocin, Prolactin, Thyroxine, Calcitonin, Vasopressin, Estrogen, FSH, Cortisol, Testosterone, Adrenaline, Aldosterone
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Lipid-soluble hormones enter inside the target cells and binds to their specific intracellular receptors to form H-R complex. This complex finally moves and binds to DNA inside the nucleus causes change in gene expression to give a physiological response. From the given list, five (estrogen, cortisol, aldosterone, testosterone and thyroxine) are steroid or lipid-soluble hormones.
