Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonsteroid hormones typically work through second messenger systems, such as cyclic AMP (cAMP), rather than directly causing protein synthesis or having their receptors in the nucleus. They bind to receptors on the cell surface, which then triggers a cascade of intracellular events leading to the desired cellular response.
