Description: Lipid-soluble hormones bind to receptors within target cells.

Responses to the same hormone may vary depending on the hormone itself and the target cell.

The response may be:

Synthesis of new molecules
Changing permeability of the cell membrane
Stimulating transport of a substance into or out of the cell
Altering the rate of metabolic actions
Causing contraction of smooth or cardiac muscle
