Q

What do Eiconsanoids do?

A

control cellular function in response to multiple signals (inflammation)
act through paracrine and autocrine function thus affecting cells that produce them or adjacent cells

Q

Synthesis of inflammtory mediators?

A
  1. stimulus/ligand binds to tansmembrane receptor
  2. cause an increase in PL-A2 and PL-C which cleaves SN2 and releases arachidonic acid
  3. PL-c through IP3 causes signal transduction to increase the stimulus and DAG to cleave…

Q

Prostaglandin found in brain, kidneys, VSMCs, platelets?

20
Q

Cyclooxygenase?

A

3 cox enzymes
cox 3 is a splice variant of COX1
diff tissues express vary levels of COX1/2
COX1 is considered a constituitive enzyme found in most tissues and COX 2 is an inducible enzyme

21
Q

Consitutive enzyme? inducible enzyme?

22
Q

Acetaminophen works on?

A

cox3 in the brain

23
Q

COX3 part of eiosanoid signaling?

24
Q

Aspirin biochemical mechanism?

A

Acetylsalicylate binds to Active cyclo-oxygenase to form inactive Cyclo-oxygenase

releases Salicylate at the same time

25
Q

Does acetaminophen or ibuprofen inactive cyclooxygenase?

26
Q

Uric acid crystals do what to osteoblasts?

27
Q

increased levels of PGE2 does what to osteoclast precursors?

28
Q

Describe action of prostaglandins?

A

shorted lived, quick response, g protein coupled receptors

29
Q

Steroidogenic acture regulatory protein?

A

sTAR endocytosis brings LDL into the cell

30
Q

Adrenal gland?

A

located on the kidneys
responsible for steroid hormone synthesis
3 layers
medulla of the glad is important for catecholamines

31
Q

Rate limit step in cholesterol synthesis?

A

CYP11A1, Cholesterol to pregnenolone

32
Q

Pregnenolone to Progesterone?

33
Q

Progesterone to 17alpha hydroxy progesterone?

34
Q

CYP17 also?

A

Pregnenolone to 17alpha hydroxy pregnenolone

35
Q

17alpha hydroxy progesterone to cortisol?

A

CYP21A, CYP11B1

36
Q

ACTH induces?

A

adrenal cortex to make steroids

37
Q

Zona glomerulosa?

A

ACTH can stim aldosterone synthesis but this area is primarily regulated by Ang II and extracellular K

has receptors for AngII and expresses CYP11B2

38
Q

HPA axis?

A

Hypothalamus releases CRH from CRH neurons

Anterior Pituitary releases ACTH from Corticotropes

Andrenal cortex releases cortisol from Fasiculata cells

39
Q

Regulates Hypothalamus?

A

increase release ACh, 5-HT, NE, IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNFalpha

decrease release NE, GABA, cortisol

40
Q

Regulate Anterior pituitary?

A

increase release IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNFalpha

decrease release cortisol

41
Q

Cortisol release controls?

A

negative feedback to Anterior pituitary and Hypothalamus, and to Immune system, lymphocytes, macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils

42
Q

Immune system, etc release?

A

IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNFalpha

all stim Hypothalamus and Anterior pituitary

43
Q

Gluccocoritcoid effect on immune cells? (cortisol)

A

decrease cytokine production form macrophages
inhibit histamine release and prostaglandins from mast cells, suppress t cell activation, and inhibit release of histamine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes from eosinophils

44
Q

Glucocorticoids affect metabolism?

A

increase vitamin D, decrease glucose uptake, increase glycogen synthase, increase parathyroid hormone, increase IGF-1

45
Q

Androstenedione to Testosterone?

A

17beta HSD

46
Q

Testorsterone to estradiol?
