35
Q

Which hormone is responsible for production of thyroid hormones?

A

TPO

36
Q

Why are vesicles / digestive enzymes required in thyroid hormone synthesis?

A

They digest the larger precursor hormone to give fT4 and fT3

37
Q

List the steps of thyroid hormone synthesis (5)

A

1) Iodine extracted from blood into follicular cell across basolateral membrane
2) Iodine is transorted to colloid reservoir across apical membrane where it can combine with thyroglobulin to make thyroid hormones (via TPO)
3) Colloid undergoes pinocytosis into follicular cells
4) Lyososomes bind to the vesicles and digest the large precusor into T4/T3
5) FT3/FT4 can be released into blood

38
Q

How do carbimazole and PTU function?

A

They inhibit fusion of iodine to thyroglobulin tyrosine reisudes, reducing the production of NEW thyroid hormone

42
Q

List the 3 major carrier proteins for thyroid hormones

A

3) Albumin (around 5-10%)

43
Q

Is T3 bound by TTR?

A

No.

44
Q

Does TBG bind T3?
