I Review | Constants | Perio Part A Describe in general terms how a steroid hormone works. Steroid hormones travel through the bloodstream and bind to cell receptors, which are on the outside of a cell. The receptors cause production within cells of "second messengers" that activate enzymes. Steroid hormones travel through the bloodstream to target tissues. Because they are lipids, they are able to pass through the cell membrane Receptors for steroid hormones occur either in intracellular fluid or in the nucleus.
