Estrogens are small hydrophobic lipid hormones True or False

True

Explanation:

Because of their chemical properties (hydrophobic lipid) these steroid hormones can pass through the plasma membrane and bind to their intracellular estrogen receptors in order to achieve their function (modulate the expression of the genes).

Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system. It is also involved in the formation of secondary sex characteristics. Because of their roles, estrogenes are widely used as medications.
