Mechanisms of Action of Steroid Hormones
Abstract
A Search for the Primary Site of Hormone ActionALTHOUGH steroid hormones regulate growth, differentiation and metabolism in target tissues via mechanisms that are largely undetermined, increasing evidence has suggested that their effects occur through the regulation of protein synthesis. This is not an unreasonable hypothesis since the majority of the cell mass and the basic cell structure are protein in nature. Similarly, the enzymic catalysts regulating all aspects of metabolism are proteins. Thus, a chemical effector such as a hormone might specifically and efficiently regulate cell growth or function by stimulating the synthesis of one or more protein molecules. . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
