ENDO Flashcards
what are the general functions of hormones?
-homeostasis
-growth & differentiation
-reproduction
which types of proteins are made and then stored?
-proteins and polyptide
-amine
which hormones are synthesized on demand?
steriod
when do cortisol levels peak?
am
when do GH hormone levels peak?
at night
which proteins bind to plasma membrane receptors?
-polypeptide & protein
-amine
which hormones have tyrosine kinase receptors?
insulin and GH
which hormones have GPCRs?
beta adrenergic
glucagon
vasopressin
angiotensin II
which hormone types bind to nuclear receptors?
steroid & thyroid
which hormones tend to circulate freely (no binding protein)?
-amine
-protein and polypeptide
which hormones tend to circulate bound to binding protein?
steroid & thyroid
what hormones come from anterior pituitary
growth hormone
adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)
thyroid-stimulating hormone
follicle-stimulating hormone
lutenizing hormone
prolactin
what hormones come from posterior pituitary

where do hypothalamic hormones release?
primary capillary plexus in median eminence
what carries hypothalamic hormones to the anterior pituitary
hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal blood vessels
what hormones come from hypothalamus
thryotropin releasing hormone
gonadotropin releasing hormone
corticotropin releasing hormone
somatostatin
growth hormone releasing hormone
dopamine
prolactin releasing hormone
what stimulates GH release
sleep
hypoglycemia
stress (catecholamines)

aging
where is the major site of synthesis of IGF-1?
liver
actions of GH and IGF-1
growth in all tissues
AA uptake
protein synthesis
lipolysis
symptoms of GH excess
course facial features
coronary heart disease
diabetes mellitus
thickened skin
kyphosis
oral manifestations of GH excess
thick rubbery skin, big nose, thick lips
macrocephaly
macrognathia
disproportionate mandibular growth (prognathism and diastema)
anterior open bite & malocclusion
macroglossia
dyspnea
dysphagia
dysphonia
sialorrhea (excess saliva)
sleep apnea (hypertrophy of pharyngeal and laryngeal tissues)
clinical manifestations of GH deficiency
slow linear growth rates
normal skeletal proportions
pudgy, youthful appearance
hypoglycemia (in setting of cortisol deficiency)
oral manifestations of growth hormone
small facial appearance
tooth crowding & malocclusion
increased tendency for plaque accumulation
difficulty maintaining oral hygeine
prone to gingivitis & perio disease
solitary median maxillary central incisor
delayed tooth eruption (primary and permanent)
stimuli for ADH
increased blood volume
increased osmolarity
decreased blood pressure
