HORMONES
o Term hormone was introduced by Starling and

Bayliss in 1905.o Hormones are the chemical messengers produced by
endocrine gland and transported by blood to other

tissue or organ where these stimulate a change in
some metabolic activity.

o They are produced from by one type of cell and haveregulatory effect on the activities of other type of cell
or on itself.

are called Target Tissue/ Target organ

The "information pathway". Information flows from the gene to theprimary transcript to mRNA to protein.
Hormones can affect any of the steps involved and can affect the rates
of processing, degradation or modification of the various products
