Questions and Answers

What is the main difference in the circulation of hydrophilic and lipophilic hormones?

  • Hydrophilic hormones are rapidly eliminated from circulation, while lipophilic hormones circulate mainly bound to plasma proteins. (correct)
  • Hydrophilic hormones circulate unbound in the blood, while lipophilic hormones are quickly broken down in plasma.
  • Lipophilic hormones are rapidly eliminated from circulation, while hydrophilic hormones circulate mainly bound to plasma proteins.
  • Hydrophilic hormones have a long half-life due to binding to plasma proteins, while lipophilic hormones are rapidly eliminated.

    • What is the function of negative feedback in hormone systems?

  • It promotes hormone secretion by enhancing the activity of target tissues.
  • It prevents overactivity of hormone systems by suppressing further hormone release. (correct)
  • It accelerates the clearance of hormones from plasma.
  • It prolongs the half-life of hormones in circulation.

    • What effect does binding to plasma proteins have on the half-life of lipophilic hormones?

  • It has no effect on the half-life of lipophilic hormones.
  • It prolongs the half-life by slowing down hormone clearance from plasma. (correct)
  • It reduces the effectiveness of lipophilic hormones at target tissues.
  • It shortens the half-life by accelerating hormone elimination from the blood.
