Lipid soluble hormones have a steroid structure. They are insoluble in blood plasma hence they travel via the bloodstream, attached to water soluble proteins. On reaching the destined cell, through diffusion, they act on the cell’s internal receptors (Cefalu, & Pardridge, 2014)). An example of such is the androgen hormone, produced by the males’ testes for the stimulation of sperm production and development, and maintenance of their sexual behavior and characteristics. Water soluble hormones, on the other hand, have a peptide and amino acid-based structure. They are water soluble and freely travel in the bloodstream. However, they are unable ...

In these instances, the heart muscles cannot contract strongly and well enough and this reduces the amount of blood ...

What are the conceptual motivations for NZIAS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’?

The NZIAS 38 ‘Intangible Assets’ came to be in the year 2004 when the Financial Reporting Standards Board of New Zealand issued it. Its baseline and concept of operation is to account for intangible assets during financial reporting. This followed the realization that some forms of assets could not be accounted for by other accounting standards, thus its establishment. This standard is motivated by the fact that intangible assets can be identified, controlled and consequently bring about economic benefits (Barry & Abbas, 2002). Identifying an intangible asset distinguishes it from goodwill while its control requires that the entity doing it ...
