Are endocrine cell associated with lipid soluble hormones?

Yes, endocrine cells are associated with lipid-soluble hormones, which include steroid hormones and thyroid hormones. These hormones easily pass through cell membranes due to their lipophilic nature and typically bind to intracellular receptors, leading to changes in gene expression. This mechanism allows for long-lasting effects on target cells. Examples of lipid-soluble hormones include cortisol and estrogen.
