Endocrinology     Because they are relatively hydrophobic, peptide hormones can interact with both cytoplasmic and nuclear receptors, depending on the specific hormone.   Rather than being stored in intracellular vesicles, catecholamine hormones are synthesized on demand and released immediately upon being synthesized.   Although vasopressin is synthesized in the hypothalamus, it is released from the terminals of neurons located in the posterior pituitary.
