66
Q

Describe the 2 major mechanisms by which hormones bring about their effects on their target tissues.

A

Cell-surface receptor activation: hormone binds to a receptor protein on outside of cell membrane, which then activates intracellular processes. Used by amino acid based- can’t pass through cell membrane

Intracellular receptor recognition: hormone enters the cell and binds to a receptor, which changes cell’s protein synthesis. Used by steroid hormones, slower b/c involves protein synthesis

67
Q

Cell responses to hormone stimulation may involve changes in…

A

-Membrane permeability
-enzyme synthesis, activation, or inhibition

-Mitosis

68
Q

A

1) hormone brands to a plasma membrane receptor that couples to a G protein
2)G protein is activated, then it couples to adenylate cyclase, which catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic AMP from ATP
3)adenylate cyclase converts ATO to cAMP (2nd messenger)
4) cAMP activates protein kinases
5) cellular response

69
Q

Steroid hormones (and thyroid hormones) effecting responses: intracellular receptors and direct gene activation

Response: parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), which increases blood Ca2+

72
Q

Response: Anterior pituitary gland secretes hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands to secrete hormones

74
Q

Explain how hormone release in regulated

A

(-) feedback mechanism- some internal and external stimulus triggers hormone secretion. As levels of a hormone rise, it causes target organ effects, which then feedback to inhibit further hormone release. Result: blood levels of many hormones vary w/in narrow range

Prolonged exposure to high hormone concentrations can decrease the # of receptors for that hormone

Desensitizes the target cells, so they respond less vigorously to hormonal stimulation, preventing them from overreacting to persistently high hormone levels

A

-ADH binds to vasopressin 2 receptors on cell of collecting duct
-activates Gs protein, binds to GTP and turns on Gs protein
-protein binds to adenylate cyclase which actives it
- GTP>GDP
-Gs=turned off
-ATP>CaMP
-CaMP activates protein kinase A
-protein kinase A stimulates genes of nucleus (undergoes transcription and translation>makes proteins>rough ER>golgi>packed into vesicles- has aquaporin 2 on vesicles)
-PKA phosphorylates proteins>vescicles w/ aquaporins fuses w/ cell membrane
-H2o enters from filtrations into cells of collecting duct
-h2o enters blood from aquaporin 3 and 4
H2o⬆️:
Plasma volume⬇️ >Blood pressure⬆️
Plasma osmolality ⬇️(wants isotonic: solutes=solvents)

Also:
ADH receptors on smooth muscle: vasopressin 1
-binds
-vasoconstriction
⬆️peripheral resistance>⬆️blood pressure

Q

GH stimulated by

A

-⬆️AA levels in blood
-⬇️glucose levels in blood(hypoglycemia)
-⬇️fatty acids in blood
-excersize
-healthy stressors

111
Q

IGF-1 protein made when…

A

GH binds to the liver

112
Q

IGF effects on muscle

A

-binds to receptor on skeletal muscle cell>activates signaling pathways>activates genes> produces proteins>protein activates channels to allow amino acids to enter the skeletal muscle and converts AA into proteins which increase muscle size

Effects: ⬆️AA uptake
⬆️protein synthesis
⬆️muscle size

113
Q

IGF effects on bone

A

⬆️osteoblast and osteoclast activity (important role in endochondral ossification)

(Protein) collagen type 1 production

⬆️proteoglycans (makes bone thicker)

114
Q

IGF effects on cartilage

A

⬆️interstitial growth (in length):
⬆️proliferation of chondroblasts
⬆️size of chondroblasts
⬆️differentiation of chondroblasts

115
Q

GH effects on liver

A

⬆️glyconeogenesis (making glycogen
W/o glucose)
IGF-1 production

116
Q

GH effects on liver

A

⬆️glyconeogenesis (making glycogen in the liver from non-carb sources like AA and lactase)
IGF-1 production

117
Q

GH effects on adipose

A

GH bonds to adipose tissue>activate hormone sensitive lipase which breaks down triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids in a process called lipolysis

⬆️lipolysis (triglycerides breaks down into glycerol and free fatty acid)

118
Q

GH effects on muscle

A

⬆️AA uptake

119
Q

Prolactin

A

Peptide

Stimulate alveolar cell to produce milk
-mammary gland- modified apocrine gland
-lobules- consist of alveolar cells which produce milk

Arcuate nucleus produces PIH= dopamine

PIH acts on lactotrope to inhibit cell from releasing prolactin

Paraventricular nucleus secretes TRH>binds to receptors on lactotrope>gives stimulating signals>produces prolactin

Estrogen stimulates prolactin and can inhibit arcuate nucleus from producing PIH (after birth of baby, estrogen levels slowly fall, because extremely high estrogen levels do not allow prolactin to act on alveolar cell)

Breast feeding>stimulates production of oxytocin and prolactin
