Peptide hormones .....answer. ... Hormones derived with a protein structure-
they are water
soluble
-They are synthesized as prohormones and stored in secretory granules
-when stimulus occurs they are released
- example Proinsulin we make
about 60 to 70 units of proinsulin daily and only use about 1⁄2 of it
Amine hormones .....answer. ....Hormones derived from the amino acid
TYROSINE -T
- thyroid hormones t3 and t4
Steroid hormones .....answer. ... they are FAT soluble
-Hormones that come from cholesterol; THESE are not STORED. They are
released as they are produced.
