Small-Molecule Hormones: Molecular Mechanisms of Action by Monika Puzianowska-Kuznicka, Eliza Pawlik-Pachucka, Magdalena Owczarz, Monika Budzińska, Jacek Polosak

“…Nuclear hormone receptors interact with coactivators, corepressors, basal transcription factors, and other transcription factors in order to modulate the activity of target genes in a manner that is dependent on tissue, age and developmental and pathophysiological states. The biological effect of this mechanism becomes apparent not earlier than 30–60 minutes after hormonal stimulus. …”
