2nd Endocrine exam Flashcards
Enzyme PTH acts on in kidneys
1alpha-hydroxylase
What prevents PTH secretion?
Ca2+ binds receptors
Gq inhibits exocytosis
Gi inhibits PTH secretion
Bone cells with PTH receptors
Osteoblasts
Osteophytes
Precursor of Vit D in skin
in lower dermis
7-dehydrocholesterol
Storage forms of Vit D
lumisterol
tachysterol
Calcitonin source and use for marker
C cells of thyroid
marker for medullary carcinoma of thyroid
Sx of hypercalcemia
renal stones/bone pain/abd pain/polyuria constipation
short QT interval
decreases neuronal excitability
Different b/t hypercalcemia with malignancy and primary hyperparathyroidism
malignancy-high PTHrp, low PTH
hyperparathryoid-low PTHrp, high PTH
Tx for severe hypercalcemia
saline
bisphosphonates
loop diuretics
mithramycin
Use of mithramycin
RNA inhibitor of osteoclasts
for hypercalcemia
do not use with liver/renal dysfxn or coagulopathy
MOA of gallium nitrate
decreases solubility of hydroxyapatite crystals
used for hypercalcemia
Use and risk with phosphate
rapid/profound hypercalcemia tx
risk with renal azotemia
Effects of PTH depending on administration
1-3hrs daily-builds bone
continuous-bone resorption
MOA of teriparatide
active PTH
for osteoporosis
Oral phosphate binders
Ca2+ carbonate/acetate- inhibit phosphate absorption
sevelamer-binds intestinal phosphate
used with CKD
MOA of cinacalet
calcimimetic
binds Ca2+ receptor on parathyroid
inhibits PTH release
Pro and con of bisphosphonates
long t1/2
poor GI absorption
Risk with etidronate long term use
osteomalacia
Use for calcitonin
osteoporosis
Paget’s disease
Pros and cons of estrogen/hormone replacement for osteoporosis
pro-decreased LDL, increased HDL and TG’s
con-increased endometrial hyperplasia/cancer
MOA of raloxifene
estrogen agonist
no endometrial stimulation
decreases LDL and cholesterol
Adverse effects of raloxifene
muscle cramps
DVT
peripheral edema
MOA of thyroid peroxidase
oxidizes I- to I
adds I to tyrosine
conjugates DIT/MIT
Transports of I in thryoid
basal-Na/I symport
apical-pendrin (I uniport)
Labs seen with iodine deficiency
decreaseds overall T3 and T4
increased T3/T4 ratio
Carriers of thyroid hormones
TBG-affected by heparin
transthyretin-affinity for T4
albumin
Types of deiodinase enzymes
type 1-provides T3 from T4
type 2-T3 levels in CNS
type 3-inactivates T3/T4 in placenta/glial cells
What extends the t1/2 of TSH?
glycosylation
T3 transport in cells
into via MCT8/10 or OATP1C1
binds Zn finger in DNA
Molecules decreasing T3/T4 release
dopamine
somatostatin
glucocorticoids
MOA of thyroid hormones
increase mitochondrial genes
use MAPK and STAT pathways
Actions of T3/T4
CNS-increase excitability/maturity
Bone growth
beta1 receptor upregulation
Impact of secondary hyperparathyroidism
renal osteodystrophy
calciphylaxis (vascular calcification)
