title: [Non-genomic actions of steroids: mechanism and significance].
abstract: It has been demonstrated that all steroids can exert their actions by rapid non-genomic effects. Different steroids have different non-genomic mechanism. And there always occurs some new mechanism after some time. Now we review the non-genomic mechanism and significance of steroids.
