Lecturio: Study for Medical School, USMLE, MCAT & MBBS

Hormones and Signal Transduction

Hormones and signal transduction are complicated and important topics for medical students to add to their bow. The majority of medications use receptors and intracellular signalling to cause change in the human body. You must understand how these mechanisms work before prescribing drugs. Learn about hormones and signal transduction with Lecturio. In this course we will cover general topics such as:

Receptors and Messengers
Protein Coupled Receptors
Actions of the Second Messenger

We also review specific topics such as:

alpha- and β-adrenergic Receptor Signaling
Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling
HER2-Receptor and Bcr-Abl
Steroid Hormone Signaling

Learn with high-yield lectures! Lecture reviews and quizzes are also available to customize your learning environment. Study from your computer, tablet or even your cell phone. Impress your instructors and surpass your colleagues on the boards!

Excellent teacher!

By Charles P. on 14. May 2019 for Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling

I have taken biochem as an undergrad, grad. and post grad and I've never had anyone explain things as clearly. Dr. Ahern is one of the best teachers I've ever encountered. Thank you!

Good

By Lieze C. on 13. April 2019 for G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs)

The video helped me understanding this topic with visual representation

All this concepts are difficult to explain but with the method that you apply is easy to understand

By Lucero O. on 05. March 2019 for HER2 Receptor and Bcr-Abl

Was very clear just speak very quickly, then I have to repeat the lesson to understand complete anyway its not important, I would like just when speaking about the oncogenes give some examples about the food that causes

Favorite lecturer!

By Iola A. on 02. February 2019 for Hormones and Signal Transduction

Clearly explanations, every piece of knowledge that prof. Ahem shares with listeners is facilely absorbed and stays in the mind.
