Why do steroid hormones need a transport protein to circulate with blood?

Steroid hormones are "lipophilic" (they are fatty molecules which do not dissolve in water.) They would not normally dissolve very well in blood. Proteins are "hydrophilic" and do dissolve in water. Transport proteins bind to steroid hormones and allow dissolution in blood; they also serve to keep most of the hormone molecules inactive until needed.
