Comparison between Hormones and vitamins
Hormones and vitamins: Major differences
Hormone | Vitamin |
1. Synthesized in endocrine glands and some by neurosecretory cells. | Taken along with food from outside. |
2. These are steroids or proteinous or amino acid derivatives. | Simple organic compounds like amines, esters, organic acids etc. |
3. These are excitatory or inhibitory in action. They never act as coenzymes. | These are generally acts as coenzymes or constituents of coenzymes for enzyme action. |
4. Hormones directly influence gene expressions. | Vitamins have catalytic action. |
5. Their deficiency and overproduction cause metabolic disorders | Their deficiency (avitaminosis) causes specific deficiency diseases. |
