Crossover Effects are Sometimes Seen Among

Question

Crossover effects are sometimes seen among
A) most hormones.
B) all hormones.
C) peptide/protein hormones.
D) steroid hormones.

Accepted Answer

Crossover effects, also known as non-specific effects, are more commonly seen among steroid hormones. This is because steroid hormones can bind to receptors in many different tissues and organs, leading to a wide range of physiological effects beyond their primary function. Peptide/protein hormones, on the other hand, typically have more targeted effects and thus are less likely to exhibit crossover effects. While crossover effects can occur with some other types of hormones, such as thyroid hormones, they are not seen among all hormones.
