In regards to the interaction of hormones at target cells: thyroid hormone will increase the
number of receptors available for epinephrine on their target cell. Without thyroid hormone, the

Therefore, in order for epinephrine to be effective, it requires that thyroid hormone to be present.
What sort of hormonal interaction is this?
antagonism
Synergism
Permissiveness
