Message definition (Endocrine system)
===Hormones===
{{Main|Hormone}}
A [[hormone]] is any of a class of [[cell signaling|signaling molecules]] produced by cells in [[gland]]s in [[multicellular organism]]s that are transported by the [[circulatory system]] to target distant organs to regulate [[physiology]] and [[behaviour]]. Hormones have diverse chemical structures, mainly of 3 classes: [[eicosanoid]]s, [[steroid]]s, and [[amino acid]]/[[protein]] derivatives ([[amine]]s, [[peptide]]s, and [[protein]]s). The glands that secrete hormones comprise the endocrine system. The term hormone is sometimes extended to include chemicals produced by cells that affect the same cell ([[autocrine signaling|autocrine]] or [[intracrine|intracrine signalling]]) or nearby cells ([[paracrine signalling]]).

Hormones

A hormone is any of a class of signaling molecules produced by cells in glands in multicellular organisms that are transported by the circulatory system to target distant organs to regulate physiology and behaviour. Hormones have diverse chemical structures, mainly of 3 classes: eicosanoids, steroids, and amino acid/protein derivatives (amines, peptides, and proteins). The glands that secrete hormones comprise the endocrine system. The term hormone is sometimes extended to include chemicals produced by cells that affect the same cell (autocrine or intracrine signalling) or nearby cells (paracrine signalling).
