nonsteriodal hormones (protein and peptide hormones) work as chemical messengers by:

a)

binding to receptors situated on target cell's plasma membrane, utilizing second-messenger system, binding to membrane receptor, setting off a series of reactions that activate an enzyme, the enzyme catalyzes a reaction that produces a second messenger molecule, and oversees intracellular changes

b)

diffusing through the plasma membrane of a target cell, entering the nucleus, binding to receptor proteins, binding to specific sites on cell's DNA, activating certain genes to transcribe RNA (mRNA), and translating in the cytoplasm, resulting in synthesis of new proteins
