Detailed Solution
Hormones which interact with membrane-bound receptors normally do not enter the target cell, but generate second messengers (e.g., cyclic AMP, IP3, Ca++ etc.) which in turn regulate cellular metabolism. Insulin is a peptide hormone that binds to membrane receptor.Cortisol, androgens and thyroxine bind to intracellular receptors and so, do not require secondary messenger.
