Hormones
and receptors comprise of a
highly sophisticated communication
system that interconnects all
the cells and tissues of the
body. The types of fat in the
cell membrane determines how
well the cell communicates using
it’s receptor systems.
Hormone-receptor communication,
as well as the transport of
nutrients in and out of the
cell are vital features to a
healthy metabolism.
HORMONES
Hormones
are informational chemicals
that dock into the receptor
which causes a physiological
response within the cell.
RECEPTORS
Receptors
are the antenna of the cell
that allow them to feel for
what’s going on in their
immediate environment. As soon
as a hormone latches onto a
receptor, the receptor changes
its shape and the message is
transferred to the cell’s
interior.
