endocrine u world Flashcards
thyroid hormone resistance
increased T3 T4 and TSH, loss of negative feedback inhibition since its resistant
graves disease
autoantibodies to TSH receptor
decreased TSH, goiter, increased t3 and t4
hormone sensitive lipase
- prolonged fasting
-catalyzes the mobilization of stored triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol - then free fatty acids and glycerol are uptaken by the liver for gluconeogenesis
- free fatty acids will become ketones
-activated in response to stress hormones
glycogenolysis
happens in first several hours of fasting
glucagonoma
hyperglycemia, often new diabetes mellitus, and necrolytic migratory erythema affecting the groin, face, and extremities
zinc deficiency
rash, erythemous skin lesions, around orifiices that are predominantly vesicular and pustular
- hypogonadism
- impaired taste and smell
- night blindness
- impaired wound healing
glucagon
corrects hypoglycemia by increasing hepatic glycogenolysis resulting in release of glucose by hepatic glycogen stores
metyrapone
causes ACTH surge
neuroendocrine tumor that secretes serotonin, treat with octreotide
carcinoid tumor
Medullary thyroid carcinoma
Amyloid
complete or partial obstruction of extra hepatic bile ducts
biliary atresia
especially if the direct bilirubin is high
- jaundice, dark urine, acholic stools
dubin johnson syndrome
-defective hepatic excretion of bilirubin glucouronidase resulting in direct hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice
-black liver
-defective excretion of epinephrine metabolites
graves disease in the skin
thyroid dermopathy - skin thickening and induration over the shin
net effect of PTH
increased bone formation
can inhibit GnRH besides high feedback of FSH and LH
prolactin
most common benign liver tumor
cavernous hemangioma
hashimotos disease
- primary hypothyroidism
- low to normal T3 because of peripheral conversion
- decreased T4
- increased TSH due to no feedback
sorbitol is metabolized into
fructose
graves disease
increased T3 and T4 because there are autoantibodies creating more hormone, low TSH due to feedback
