protein/peptide hormones
syn as preprohormone or pre hormonesstored in granulespolarusually in blood unboundplasma membrane receptorsnot administered orally
steroid hormone
derived from cholesterolintracellular receptorsin blood boundstored inendocrine glandsnonpolaroften orally administered
Throid hormones
derived from tyrosinecross cell membranesin blood boundintracellular receptorsstored in folliclescan be administered orally
catecholamines
derived from tyrosinecell surface receptorsstored in membrane bound granulesin blood free or loosely bound to protein
hormones via phospholipase C
GnRH, TRH, Angiotensin II, ADH, oxytocin, alpha 1 receptors
hormones via steroid hormone mech.
glucocorticoids, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, aldosterone, vit D, Thyroid hormones
ADH action (V1 and V2)
V2 receptor - collecting ducts more permeable to water - high affinity for ADH -> sensitive to small changes in blood osmolarityV1: mesangial cell contraction in glomerulus; suppress renin release from JG’s; arteriole constriction; increase ACTH release from ant. pit. - low affinity for ADH
Oxytocin action
contraction of smooth mm via V1 receptor- contraction of mammary myoepithelium -> milk ejection- contraction of myometrium of uterus during labor- released during orgasm -> contracts uterus
pituitary blood supply
allows deliver of releasing and inhibitory factors selectively to anterior pituitary in high concentration.long portal vessels - median eminence, down pituitary stalk -> ant. pitshort portal vessels - post. pit -> ant. pit.
6 major ant. pit hormones
- FSH - gonadotrophs - promotes gamete development in both sexes. 2. LH - gonadotrophs - promotes sex steroid synthesis in both sexes. 3. TSH - thyrotrophs, stimulates growth and hormone production of thyroid gland. 4. GH - somatotrophs, promotes the overall growth of the body - both bones and soft tissue. 5. PRL - mammotrophs, is responsible for milk production in females and normal levels enhance LH action in males (note that high PRL levels are inhibitory). 6. ACTH stimulates the growth and steroid production of the adrenal cortex
hypothalamic releasing hormones
GnRH -> LH and FSH (LH is more sensitive to GnRH than is FSH)GHRH -> GH (inhibited by somatostatin (GHIH)) TRH -> TSH and PRL (inhibited by somatostatin (GHIH)) dopamine (PIH) -> inhibits PRL (stimulated by various factors (TRH, VIP, oxytocin & vasopressin).CRH -> ACTHact via G protein -> increase IP3 -> increase intracellular Ca2+
iodothyronines
formed by coupling of two iodinated thyroglobulins (via thyroid peroxidase)T4 - most abundant, acts as prohormoneT3 - active (shorter half life)rT3 - inactive (high in fetus)
Thyroid Hormone Syn
- iodine trap; Na-Cl pump (stim via TSH)2. thyroglobulin syn in thyroid RER3. Thyroglobulin and Iodide pumped into lumen4. Iodide -> Iodine (TP)5. iodination of thyroglobulin (TP)6. coupling of MIT’s and DIT’s (TP) -> thyroid hormone bound to thyroglobulin
TH release
- stim via TSH2. Endocytose colloid3. lysosomal proteases hydrolized thyroglobulin -> AA’s, T3, T4, DIT and MIT4. T3 and T4 released5. DIT, MIT and AA’s recycled into thyroglobulin and Iodide
Wolf-Chaikoff effect
excess idodine -> decrease thyroid sensitivity to TSH -> decrease TH synthesis -> hypothyroid
T4 -> T3 enzyme
5’ deiodinaseT4->rT3 - 5’ monodeiodinase
TH action
enters cell -> binds thyroid response element on target gene -> removes gene co-repressors -> gene transcriptionReceptor has higher affinity for T3target tissues have 5’ deiodinaseTarget tissues increase oxygen consumption in response except testes, brain, spleen, pituitary
Graves disease
hyperthyroid w/ low levels of TSHTSI mimics TSH action -> increase TH syn and secretion -> goiter -> negative feedback decreases TSH levels, but TSI remain high
“Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
most common hypothyroid in USantibodies against follicular cells and TSH receptors destroy thyroid functioninitially blood work shows high TSH but normal levels of T4 (compensation)
cretinism
caused by hypothyroidism in fetus till 2 yrsCretins are dwarfed, have pot-bellies, protruding tongues and are severely retarded
hypothyroid as child
stunts growth (further exasperated by low GH)often no pubertysevere mental issuesgrowth can catch up w/ TH replacement therapy, but mental issues can’t be reversed
Thyroid actions
increase BMR (O2 and fuel consumption)gluconeogenesisglycogenolysislipogenesislipolysisincreases LDL receptors -> decrease serum cholesterolprotein sythesisproteolysis -> muscle wasting (hyper)increase heat productionincrease Beta adrenoreceptors -> increase sympathetic responseincrease HR and Contractility
hypothyroid symptoms
Decreased basal metabolic rate, high cholesterole and atherosclerosis, Thick tongue, Myxedema, Weakness, fatigue, lethargy, Goiter, Somnolence, Slow speech, Mental slowness, Hoarseness, Muscle aches, Amenorrhea, Cold intolerance, Psychosis, Dry cold skin, Electrocardiogram changes, Prolonged reflex times, Constipation, Decreased sweating, Thin, brittle hair Weight gain
hyperthyroid symptoms
Nervousness, Bruit over thyroid, Anxiety, Pretibial myxedema, Insomnia (Graves’ disease), Heat intolerance, Fatigue, Palpitations, Eye problems (Graves’ disease), Muscle weakness, Exophthalmos, Diarrhea, Lid retraction, Increased appetite, Extraocular muscle weakness, Moist, warm skin, Eye irritation, Goiter Tremor
primary, secondary, tertiary hypothyroid
primary: issue in thyroid; response to TSH low, response to TRH highsecondary: issue in pituistary; response to TSH normal, response to TRH lowtertiary: issue in hypothalamus; response to TSH normal, response to TRH normal, but secretion of TRH is low
amylin
