The hormone that does not act on its target cells through second messengers is cortisol.Cortisol belongs to a class of hormones called steroid hormones, which are lipid-soluble and can easily cross cell membranes. Once inside a target cell, cortisol binds to intracellular receptors, and the hormone-receptor complex directly alters gene expression, without the need for a second messenger system. Hence, the answer is option 1.
