Progesterone, testosterone and estrogen are steroid hormones which interact with intracellular receptors.
(60) Answer : (3)
Hint:
Hormone synthesized from parafollicular cells of thyroid gland
Solution:
TCT is also called as thyrocalcitonin which is synthesized from parafollicular cells of thyroid gland. TCT is responsible
for regulating blood calcium levels. It is hypocalcemic hormone. T4 is thyroxine and PTH is parathormone, a
hypercalcemic hormone. GnRH is gonadotrophin releasing hormone.
