Hormone Activity

Description
Hormones that don’t circulate are local hormones (paracrines). Those that act on the same cell that secretes them are autocrines.

Hormones are either lipid-soluble (steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, nitric oxide) or water-soluble (amine hormones, peptide and protein hormones, eicosanoid hormones).
Water-soluble hormones circulate freely in the plasma.
Lipid-soluble hormones circulate bound to transport proteins.
