2. A second messenger (e.g. cAMP) is often involved.
3. They can work by activation of transmembrane receptor proteins.
4. They have a long duration of action (e.g. days).

One of the reasons for iodine to be a part of a balanced diet would be:

1. Iodine is needed for an enzyme that facilitates the synthesis of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH).
2. The thyroid gland cannot produce thyroxine without iodine, which leads to the goiter condition.
3. Iodine is necessary for the proper functioning of the thyroid, adrenals and pancreas.
4. The iodine is needed for positive feedback to the hypothalamus and the anterior pituitary to stimulate the thyroid to produce more thyroxine. This in turn prevents the goiter condition.
