The main class of lipid-derived hormone is the steroids which are derived from cholesterol and the eicosanoids. Steroid hormones include testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.

Proglucagon-derived peptides (PGDPs), including glucagon, GLP-1, and GLP-2, are known to be the key hormones that regulate lipid metabolism in the liver.

A group at MedUni Vienna has identified a regulatory loop controlled by leptin, by which this adipocyte-derived hormone regulates hepatic lipid metabolism via the autonomic nervous system. The ...

Proglucagon-derived peptides (PGDPs), including glucagon, GLP-1, and GLP-2, are known to be the key hormones that regulate lipid metabolism in the liver. Derived from the same precursor—proglucagon, ...

Types of hormone Different types of hormones have varying chemical structures. While some are peptides or proteins composed of amino acids, others are steroid hormones derived from lipids.

BRG1 mutations confer resistance to hormones in lung cancer A study led by the research group on Genes and Cancer of IDIBELL has shown that loss of BRG1 gene implies a lack of response of cells to ...

A study led by the research group on Genes and Cancer of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute has shown that the loss of BRG1 gene implies a lack of response of cells to these hormones, and ...
