At puberty, an adolescent female body changes in both structure and function of several organ systems, primarily under the influence of changing concentrations of estrogen and other steroid hormones. How can one hormone, such as estrogen, mediate so many effects?

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling
  1. Estrogen is produced in very large concentration by nearly every tissue of the body.

  2. Each cell responds in the same way when steroids bind to the cell surface.

  3. Estrogen is kept away from the surface of any cells, not able to bind it at the surface.

  4. Estrogen binds to specific receptors inside many kinds of cells, each with different responses.

The cytochrome P450 constitute a superfamily of heme-containing enzymes that occur in nearly all living organisms, from bacteria to mammals, These monooxygenases, which in animals are embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, catalyze reactions of the sort
                  RH + O2 + 2 H+ + 2eāˆ’ → ROH + H2
The electrons (eāˆ’) are supplied by NADPH, which passes them to cytochrome P450’s heme prosthetic group via the intermediacy of the enzyme NADPH P450 reductase. Here RH represents a wide variety of usually lipophilic compounds for which the different cytochromes P450 are specific. They include
a. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 
b. polycyclic biphenyls
c. frequently carcinogenic compounds that are present in tobacco smoke, broiled meats, and other pyrolysis products
d. which were widely used in electrical insulators and as plasticizers and are also carcinogenic.
