which it exerts a specific effect on cells at a distance
from the producing cells; thus, pituitary hormones
produced in the brain may have effects on cells in distant
parts of the body..
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
2. (Physiological Chem.) a chemical substance, whether
natural or synthetic, that functions like a hormone in a
living organism. Thus, synthetic steroid hormones may be
more effective than their natural counterparts.
