2 hormone categories
Steroid
Nonsteroid
Steroid hormones are derived from …
Cholesterol
Which hormone is lipid soluble and diffuses through membranes?
Steroid hormones
Major glands that secrete steroid hormones (4)
– Testes (testosterone)
– Ovaries (estrogen, progesterone)
– Adrenal cortex (cortisol, aldosterone)
– Placenta (estrogen, progesterone)
Two groups of non-steroid hormones
– Protein/peptide hormones
• Most nonsteroid hormones
– Amino acid-derived hormones
TF: Hormones contact some body tissues
False
All
How do hormones limit effects to specific targets?
By using hormone-specific receptors
Hormones bound to receptor
Hormone receptor complex
No receptor =
No hormone effect
Location for steroid hormone receptors
cytoplasm or nucleus of target cell (intracellular receptor)
Location of nonsteroid hormone recpetors
Membrane of target cell (cell membrane receptor)
Steroid: Hormone receptor complex enters nucleus and binds to … and activates …
DNA
Certain genes
Steroid: Hormone receptor complex enters nucleus where … synthesizes within nucleus when activated
mRnA
Steroid: Hormone receptor complex enters nucleus where mRNA enters … to promote ….
Cytoplasm
Protein synthesis
Steroid: Proteins within cytoplasm due to mRNA may be …(e,sp,rp)
– enzymes
– structural proteins
– Regulatory protein that alters enzyme function
Nonsteroid: Receptors on cell membrane ➡️ trigger release of intracellular…
Second messengers
Nonsteroid TF: Intracellular second messengers lower strength of hormone signal
False
Intensify
Nonsteroid TF: Intracellular second messengers lower strength of hormone signal
False
Intensify
Nonsteroid: Amino acid derived hormones (2)
• Thyroid (T3, T4)
• Adrenal medulla (epinephrine,
norepinephrine)
Nonsteroid: Common second messengers (2)
– Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
– Cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP)
Stimulates release of hormones from
anterior pituitary gland
Hypothalamus
Provides ADH for release from posterior pituitary gland
Hypothalamus
Hormones within the Anterior pituitary gland (6) (ACTH,FSH,LH,TSH,P,GH)
• Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
• Luteinizing hormone (LH)
• Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• Prolactin
• Growth hormone (GH)
APG: Stimulates cortisol release from adrenal glands (H)
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
APG: Stimulates follicles(H)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
APG: Stimulates production of testosterone and estrogen (H)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
APG: Controls thyroid hormone release from thyroid gland (H)
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
APG: directly stimulate the breast to produce milk (H)
Prolactin
APG: Stimulates growth (H)
Growth hormone (GH)
Major endocrine glands responsible for metabolic regulation during exercise (4)
– Anterior pituitary gland
– Thyroid gland
– Adrenal gland
– Pancreas
TF: Hormones released by the Endocrine glands affect metabolism of protein
during exercise
False
