When trying to explain hypothyroidism to a newly diagnosed client, the nurse stresses the fact that the thyroid hormone is transported in blood by specific:
A) Proteins
B) Target cells
C) Cholesterol molecules
D) Prohormones
Ans: A
Feedback:
Some hormones, such as steroids and thyroid hormone, are bound to protein carriers for transportation to the target cell destination. The extent of carrier binding influences the rate at which hormones leave the blood and enter the cells. Cholesterol is a precursor for steroid hormone. Prohormones have an extra amino acid and are converted to hormones in the Golgi complex.
