This hypothesis is strongly supported by a study in which protein production of a specific PGE receptor was knocked out in mice‚ resulting in the impairment of febrile response (7). Since the complete signal was eliminated by recombination

The Endocrine System FOCUS: The endocrine system is one of the major regulatory systems in the body‚ along with the nervous system.

Some hormones bind to receptors on the surface of the cell membrane‚ producing permeability
