Gene expression chiphunzitso. Mahomoni a Steroid ali ndi kulemera pang'ono kwa maselo ndipo ndi lipid-sungunuka. Amatha kulowa mu cell chandamale ndi kufalikira kapena zonyamulira. Pambuyo polowa m'maselo, mahomoni a steroid amamangiriza ku zolandilira mu cytosol kuti apange ma hormone-receptor complexes, omwe amatha kupititsa ku allosteric translocation kupyolera mu nembanemba ya nyukiliya pansi pa kutentha koyenera ndi kutenga nawo mbali kwa Ca2 +.
Pambuyo polowa mkati, hormone imamangiriza ku cholandirira mu nucleus kupanga zovuta. Zovutazi zimamangiriza ku malo enaake a chromatin omwe si histones, amayambitsa kapena amaletsa ndondomeko yolembera DNA pamalo ano, ndiyeno amalimbikitsa kapena kuletsa mapangidwe a mRNA. Zotsatira zake, zimathandizira kapena zimachepetsa kaphatikizidwe ka mapuloteni ena (makamaka ma enzyme) kuti akwaniritse zotsatira zake. Molekyu imodzi ya timadzi tating'onoting'ono imatha kupanga masauzande a mamolekyu a protein, motero amakwaniritsa ntchito yokulirapo ya mahomoni.
Kuyankha kwa Hormone Panthawi yochita masewera olimbitsa thupi, kuchuluka kwa mahomoni osiyanasiyana, makamaka omwe amalimbikitsa mphamvu zamagetsi, amasintha mosiyanasiyana ndipo amakhudza kagayidwe kachakudya m'thupi komanso magwiridwe antchito a ziwalo zosiyanasiyana. Kuyeza milingo ya mahomoni ena panthawi yochita masewera olimbitsa thupi komanso pambuyo pake ndikufananiza ndi zinthu zabata kumatchedwa kuyankha kwa mahomoni pochita masewera olimbitsa thupi.
MAHORMONE oyankha mwachangu, monga EPINEPHRINE, NOrepINEPHRINE, CORTISOL, ndi ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN, AKUKWEKERA KWAMBIRI MU plasma NTHAWI YOPHUNZITSA ZOPHUNZITSA ndipo amafika pachimake pakapita nthawi yochepa.
Mahomoni apakatikati, monga aldosterone, thyroxine, ndi pressor, amakwera pang'onopang'ono m'madzi a m'magazi atangoyamba kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, kufika pachimake mkati mwa mphindi zochepa.
Mahomoni oyankha pang'onopang'ono, monga kukula kwa hormone, glucagon, calcitonin ndi insulini, samasintha mwamsanga atangoyamba kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, koma amawonjezeka pang'onopang'ono pambuyo pa 30 mpaka 40min yochita masewera olimbitsa thupi ndikufika pachimake pambuyo pake.
