Q

4 actions of hormones

A
  1. ) Stimulates protein synthesis (structural and functional proteins)
  2. ) Change rate of enzyme activity (phosphorylation changes enzyme activity)
  3. ) Alter plasma membrane transport (changing the excitability of the cell)
  4. ) Induce secretory activity (production of another hormone)

Q

long term training does what to resting PRL in men?

25
do endurance athletes that are men have higher or lower testosterone levels than those who are sedentary?
lower (65-85% of that of sedentary ppl)
26
how does exercise affect ADH
greatly increases it (bc we want tp maintain fluid during exercise)
27
how does exercise affect oxytocin?
no effect
28
How does exercise affect t3 and t4?
increase (secreted into the blood more during exercise bc cells need more energy)
29
does exercise incr the production of thyroid hormone more or does it promote the release of thyroid hormone?
promotes the release of thyroid out of the colloid
30
how does exercise affect calcitonin?
no effect
31
what does calcitonin do?
decr blood ca levels
32
what does PTH do?
incr blood ca levels
33
how does exercise affect PTH?
incr (bc calcium needed for muscle contraction so PTH takes it out of the bone)
34
how does exercise affect the minerlocoticoids (zona glomerulosa)
incr
35
how does exercise affect the glucocorticoids (zona fasiculata)
incr
36
how does exercise affect the zona reticularis?
not much of an effect, BUT may incr androgens (DHEA) very slightly
37
how does exercise affect the medulla (catecholemines)
incr production any time over 50% of vo2 max
38
do we produce more or less catecholemines after being on a training program than before
more
39
what do mineralocorticoids do
maintain sodium balance which maintains fluid balance of the body (retain more water). helps maintain blood volume and blood pressure
40
what is the main mineralocorticoid
aldosterone
41
is there a training effect with aldosterone
no
42
what do glucocorticoids do
affect metabolism and affect energetic pathways
43
what is the main glucocorticoid
cortisol
44
what is the acute and long term affect of exercise on cortisol
acute= increase | long term= decr (body less dependent on cortisol for metabolism)
45
what is the main gonadocorticoid
DHEA (which is a precursor for androgens)
46
what two things can DHEA produce
testosterone and estradiol
47
what can DHEA do?
incr someone's sex drive
48
if exercise incr DHEA production how would it do it?
thru increasing CRH (which incr ACTH which incr DHEA production)
49
how does exercise affect the gonadal hormones (testosterone and estrogen/progesterone)
incr all
50
how does exercise affect insulin
insulin levels decrease during exercise (less sugar in the blood during exercise)
51
as we train, do we produce more or less insulin?
less
52
what suppresses the pancreas which shuts off insulin production
catecholamines
53
how does exercise affect glucagon
incr glucagon levels during exercise
54
as we train do we produce more or less glucagon?
less
55
what secretes natural opiods?
anterior pituitary
56
opiods suppresses the release of _______and_______
FSH, LH
57
opioids stimulate the release of _______and ________
GH and PRL
58
how does short term ususually stressful activity affect the immune system
depresses it and puts one at risk for URTI and contributues to overtraining
59
how does moderate PA affect the immune system
boosts it
60
how does long term aerobic affect the immune system
boosts it
61
how does long term resistance affect the immune system
does nothing
62
how does a high carb diet affect the immune system
enhances it
63
what vitamins prevent the immune system from being suppresses
vitamin c and e
64
what percentage of vitamin e prevents immune suppression
200mg
65
what percentage of vitamin c prevents immune suppression
600mg
66
what amino acid prevents immune supression
glutamine
67
what 3 things help the immune system?
glutamine vitamins c and e, and high carb diet
68
what 5 cancers does exercise help reduce the risk
1. ) breast 2. ) colon 3. ) lung (some debate) 4. ) prostate
