MECHANISM OF HORMONE ACTION
NEET

Epinephrine

2

Insulin

3

Cortisol

4

ADH

Solution:

Hormones that interact with membrane-bound receptors are typically peptide hormones, protein hormones, and catecholamines. These hormones are generally hydrophilic and cannot easily cross the cell membrane. Examples include Insulin, ADH, and Epinephrine. Steroid hormones (like Cortisol) and thyroid hormones are lipophilic and can easily pass through the cell membrane to bind with intracellular receptors (either in the cytoplasm or nucleus). Therefore, Cortisol is the hormone among the given options that does not interact with membrane-bound receptors.
