Question
Chapter 25, Problem 1SL
Summary Introduction
To propose:
A way that can be used to test the hypothesis of microwave foods in plastic containers is potential sources of endocrine disruptors.
Introduction:
Substances that can alter the signaling pathway of hormones by mimicking a natural hormone are called endocrine disruptors. These endocrine disruptors are present in water and food. Endocrine disruptors are accumulated in the fatty tissues of an individual.

Peptide hormones are hydrophobic and need a hydrophilic transport protein to help them be transported in the blood B. Peptide are are soluble in , and can be transported without modification C. Peptide hormones are hydrophobic are soluble in plasma, and can be transported with modification D. Peptide hormones are hydrophilic and need a hydrophilic transport protein to help them transported in the blood.arrow_forwardSuppose that two different organs, such as the liver and heart, are sensitive to a particular hormone (such as epinephrine). The cells in both organs have identical receptors for the hormone, and hormone-receptor binding produces the same intracellular second messenger in both organs. However, the hormone produces different effects in the two organs. Explain how this can happen.arrow_forward
