Chapter 3 - Endocrine responses to Resistance Exercise Flashcards
Growth hormone
stimulates IGF-1, protein synthesis and metabolism.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Stimulates glucocorticoids in the adrenal cortex
Analgesia
Loss of sense of pain
Beta endorphin
Stimulates analgesic response
Follicle stimulating hormone
Stimluates ovum and sperm production
Luteinizing Hormone
Stimulates ovulation and secretion of sex hormones in ovaries and testes
Prolactin
Stimulates milk production in mammary glands and maintains secretion of progesterone.
Melanocyte stimulating hormone
Stim. Melanocytes that have dark melanin
Anti diuretic hormone
Increased smooth muscle contraction and reabsorption of water by the kidneys.
Oxytocin
Stim uterine contractions andrelease of milk by mamm glands
Thyroxine
Stimulates oxidative metabolism in mitochondria and cell growth
Calcitonin
Reduces calcium phosphate levels in blood
Parathyroid hormone
Increase blood calcium, decrease blood phosphate, stimulates bone formation
Insulin
Stores glycogen, promotes glucose entry into cells, involved in protein syntheses
Glucagon
Increases blood glucose levels
Glucocorticoids (cortisol, cortisone)
Inhibit amino acid incorporation into proteins, stimulate breakdown of protein to carbs. promote use of fat
Mineralocorticoids
Increase body fluids via sodium potassium metabolism
Insulin like growth factors
Increase protein synthesis in cells
Epinephrine
Increases cardiac output, increases blood sugar and glycogen breakdown and fat metabolism.
Norepinephrine
Like epinephrine
