Mokele Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 In the body, hormones are always in solution with the bodily fluids (which themselves are mostly water) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paralith Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 They are molecules that are either fat-soluble or water-soluble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifestream Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormones for more in depth overview. Also doesn't hormones exist in gaseous state as well ( like pheromones can affect from long distance?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the guy Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 but if you were to isolate a hormone would it be in solid, liquid or gas form. or any of these. or just two of these. if it's just two e.g solid and liquid please say which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaeroll Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 but if you were to isolate a hormone would it be in solid, liquid or gas form. or any of these. or just two of these. if it's just two e.g solid and liquid please say which. I expect they would have an oil-like consistency, but I've never handled one so I couldn't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifestream Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 well i assume different hormones are different. mostly oil-liquid like state... well oil is a liquid too Well only liquid hormone iv seen (pictures, videos) is adrenaline (like when they use syringe to insert adrenaline directly into heart when heart fails). Gaseous state is just evaporated liquid hormone - and possibly liquid at lower temperature/higher pressure. there are basically two groups: fat soluble steroids and proteins (soluble in any body liquid?). So hormones are not really liquid - more like liquid solution when mixed with something. Still when you extract you get oily liquid or mix of some other liquid in body.
