Review of non-genomic actions of sex steroid hormones and devising of algorithm to approach the receptors

Abstract

Cholesterol-derived hormones also have non-genomic functions. The genomic functions are executed by classical pathways, which are well understood, but non-genomic functions need non-classical pathways. Here is the review of the non-genomic actions along with their non-classical or classical modified receptors along with the pathways of sex steroid hormones and the devising of an algorithm to approach these receptors through an indirect method.
