The biochemical and physiological effects of a hormone

The effector systems result in changes in messenger systems that then cause the effects of the hormone. Not surprisingly, the effects of the hormone depend on which hormone is being considered. To illustrate this four hormones - insulin, cortisol, adrenaline and glucagon - are discussed. 

The action is the binding of insulin to its receptor, part of which is located on the external surface of the plasma membrane the other part is on the cytosolic side. This is 

Five of the major biochemical effects of the hormone illustrate the processes that are modified by insulin. 

The rates of five major pathways are stimulated by insulin are.
