18
Q

Androgenital syndrome: what is going on here? what are the hormone levels like?

A

hypersecretion of adrenal androgens; as such…

↑ androgens

19
Q

Androgenital syndrome manifestation

A

Masculinizing condition in females

Adult females develop male traits: deep voice, increased muscle mass, amenorrhea, hirsutism, clitoral enlargement, acne

20
Q

21 B-hydroxylase deficiency: hormone levels

A

↑ ACTH levels – lack of feedback control of cortisol)
NO mineral corticoids
NO glucocorticoids
increased Androgens

21
Q

21 B-hydroxylase deficiency manifestation

A

leads to androgenital syndrome

enlarged adrenal gland

22
Q

17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency: hormone levels

A

↑ Mineralcorticoids (↓ Aldo because of symptoms of corticosterone excess HTN inhibits renin secretion)
NO mineralcorticoids
NO androgens

23
Q

17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency: manifestations

A

hypertension (which inhibits renin secretion)
