In
prehormones
. It stimulate the formation of receptors of that hormone.
Examples
epinephrine at the latter's target cell, thereby increasing epinephrine's effect on that cell. Specially in cardiac cell. Without the thyroid hormone, epinephrine would have only a weak effect.[1]
Cortisol is required for the response of vascular and bronchial smooth muscle to catecholamines.[2] Cortisol is also required for the lipolytic effect of catecholamines, ACTH, and growth hormone on fat cells.[2] Cortisol is also required for the calorigenic effects of glucagon and catecholamines.[3]
The effects of a hormone in the body depend on its concentration. Permissive actions of
cytokines via post-translational modification effects.[4]
