Hormones: Select one or MORE: a. can be secreted by the cells in the brain b. have two possible types of effects: inducer/organizational and activational c. specifically, steroid sex hormones are produced by the gonads, adrenal glands, and in some cases, fat cells.

Sex hormones require the presence of receptors on tissues to perform their function. d. Sex hormones require enzymes for the conversion of one hormone to another in steroidogenesis. e. Hormones at higher levels than normal can cause problems (i.e. decreased sperm count and possible cardiovascular problems in people who take anabolic steroids to enhance athletic activity). f.
