endo Flashcards
layers of adrenal Cx
GFR, the deeper you go the sweeter it gets
what is the most common adrenal medulla tumor in adults?
pheo
what is the most common adrenal medulla tumor in kids?
neuroblastoma
ant pit
adenohypophysis FLAT-PiG FSH LH ACTH TSH Prolactin GH
which ant pit hormones are acidophils
GH and prolactin
which ant pit hormones are basophils?
B-FLAT basophils FSH LH ACTH TSH
what is ant pit derived from
Rathke pouch - oral ectoderm
intermediate lobe of pit
grouped w/ant
secreted MSH
post pit
neurohypophysis
vasopressein/ADH (from supraoptic)
oxytocin (from paraventricular)
what is post pit derived from?
neuroectoderm
endocrine pancreas cells
alpha- glucagon (peripheral)
beta- insulin (central)
delat- somatostatin
insulin sysnthesis
preproinsulin synth in RER
cleavage -> proinsulin
cleavage -> exo of both insulin and C-peptide
insulin R
tyrosine kinase -> increased PI3 and RAS/MAP for TFs
insulin effects
increased glucose into mm and adipose increase glyocogen synth increased TG synth increased Na retention increaed protein synth increased cellular uptake of K and aa decreased glucagon does not cross placenta
GLUT-4
adipose and striated mm
insulin dependent
exercise increases expression
GLUT-1
RBCs, brain, cornea
insulin independent
GLUT-2
beta cells liver kidney small intestines bidirectional insulin independent
GLUT-3
brain
insulin independent
GLUT-5
spermatocytes
GI
fructose
insulin independent
what inhibits glucagon
insulin
hyperglycemia
somatostatin
CRH overview
increases ACTH, MSH, and beta-endorphin
decreased in chronic exogenous steroid use
Dopamine overview
decreases prolactin
dopamine antagonists can cause galactorhea
GHRN overview
increased GH
analog (Tesaorelin) used to Tx HIV-associated lipodystrophy
GnRH overview
increased FSH, LH
regulated by porlactin
tonic GnRH supresses HPA
pulsatile causes puberty and fertility
Prolactin overview
decreased GnRH
pit prolactinoma -> amenorrhea, osteoporosis, hypogonadism, galactorhea
somatostatin overview
decreased GH, TSH
analogs used to Tx acromegaly
TRH overview
increased TSH, prolactin
