are these water or fat soluble?
 
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are hydrophilic hormones. They will be able to diffuse through the plasma of the blood, but not diffuse through the plasma membranes of cells. This means they attach to receptor proteins on the surface of the cell and activates secondary messengers to exert their influence.
