Q

Down-regulation

A

When the target-cell receptors decrease in number, if a hormone is present in excess.

(Makes a target cell less sensitive to a hormone)

Q

3 types of water-soluble hormones

A

(1) amine hormones-(modified amino acid component)
(2) peptide hormones and protein hormones

(3) eicosanoid hormones
2 types: PG’s and LT’s

17
Q

Hormone transport in the blood. How does each transport:

Water soluble & lipid soluble.

A

Water soluble hormones travel in free form.

Lipid soluble hormones are bound to transport proteins.

18
Q

3 functions of transport proteins that are synthesized by cells in the liver.

A
  1. Make lipid-soluble hormones temporarily water-soluble
  2. Slow the rate of hormone loss in urine
  3. Provide a reserve of hormones present in bloodstream
19
Q

Free fraction

A

.1-10% of lipid soluble hormones aren’t bound to transport proteins. It diffuses out of capillaries, binds to receptors, and triggers responses.They are also easily replaced.

20
Q

Action of lipid soluble hormone

A

1) free soluble hormone diffuses into cell
2) hormone binds to receptors and alters DNA genes
3) mRNA enters cytosol, and directs synthesis of new protein on ribosomes
4) new proteins carry out the response typical of that hormone

21
Q

Action of water soluble hormone

A

1) water soluble hormone (1st messenger) diffuses through interstitial fluid and binds to receptor at plasma membrane
G PROTEIN IS ACTIVATED.-which activates ADENYLATE CYCLASE

2) AC converts ATP into cyclic AMP.
3) cyclic AMP (second messenger) activates protein kinases
4) activated protein kinases phosphorylate cellular proteins
5) phosphorylated proteins produce physiological responses.
6) phosphodiesterase inactivates cAMP.

22
Q

The responsiveness of a target cell to a hormone depends on (3 things)

A

1) hormone concentration
2) abundance of hormone receptors
3) influences exerted by other hormones

23
Q

Synergistic effect

A

When the effect of two hormones acting together is greater or more extensive than the effect of each alone

24
Q

Antagonistic effect

A

When the hormone opposes the actions of another hormone

25
Q

Hormone secretion is regulated by (3 things)

A

1) signals from the nervous system
2) chemical changes in the blood
3) other hormones
