If a person gets a shot of epinephrine, he or she almost immediately feels the effects (e.g., increased heart and breathing rates). If the same person gets a shot of a steroid hormone such as cortisone, there is no immediate response
What is the reason for this difference?
Epinephrine is water soluble and causes an immediate response, whereas steroid hormones cause a slower change by stimulating gene transcription.
