....b/c hormones are hydrophobic and therefore do not dissolve in the plasma, they require proteins (ie albumin) to journey through the bloodstream. Once they reach their target cells they easily diffuse through the cell membrane due to their hydrophobicity and bind to their receptor within the cytoplasm. This complex (receptor-hormone complex) then travels to the nucleus of cell to regulate transcription to alter the amount of protein that is made.
