Please tell me the examples of lipid-soluble & water-soluble Hormones.
Thanks

Lipid soluble hormones (lipophilic) include steroid hormones such as Testosterone, Progesterone, Cortisol, and Aldosterone. Water soluble hormones (lipophobic) include Dopamine, Epi/norepinephrine, Serotonin, Thyroid hormones (Tyrosine), and Histamine.

General rule is: Amino acids, amines, peptides are water soluble. So anything ending with -amine or -ine or -ase will be water soluble. Steroids and Eicosanoids are lipid soluble, so anything ending with -ol or -one will be lipid soluble.

Cheers 👍
