Hormones/drugs use signaling pathways to exert their effect on tissues.

In particular steroid hormones, fat soluble vitamins, and thyroid hormones (T3/T4) utilize an intracellular receptor signaling pathway which translocates to the nucleus and binds to DNA, up regulating or down regulating transcription of certain genes.

PET CAT on TV is the mnemonic that is given in FA.

Vitamin D is given in FA, but Vitamin A isn't mentioned in Uworld: fat soluble (A,D,E,K) vitamins are given.

Hope this helps!
