Q

Thyroid peroxidase

A

responsible for combining mono and di iodothyronine to make T3 and T4. T3 is more active than T4, T4 converted to T3 intracellularly by deiodinase

16
Q

Prophylthiouracil

A

Targets deiodinase 1 preventing activation of T4 to T3

17
Q

thyrotoxicosis

A

due to thyroid storm and excessive thyroid hormone in circulation. Treat with beta blocker, thioamides (antithyroid), corticosteroid.

18
Q

Liothyronine

A

T3 drug supplement

19
Q

Methimazole

A

Thioamide used to treat hyperthyroidism by inhibiting thyro-peroxidase preventing conversion of T4 to T3

20
Q

Carbimazole

A

Thioamide used to treat hyperthyroidism by inhibiting thyro-peroxidase preventing conversion of T4 to T3

21
Q

11-B-hydroxylase

A

responsible for the conversion of steroids to their active form

22
Q

Testing for hypercortisolism

A

dexamethasone challenge test. If ACTH drops, it is a primary adenoma, if ACTH with high dose still doesn’t drop, it is likely an ectopic ACTH tumor

23
Q

Cortisol

A

Active form of cortisone

24
Q

Hydrocortisone

A

Synthetic cortisone

25
Q

Prednisone

A

glucocorticoid

26
Q

Methylprednisone

A

more potent glucocorticoid

27
Q

Dexamethasone

A

Incredibly potent glucocorticoid with no mineralocorticoid effect

28
Q

Fludrocortisone

A

Incredibly strong mineralocorticoid, and strong glucocorticoid

29
Q

Ketoconazole

A

Inhibits side chain cleavage (rate limiting step of steroid synthesis) antifungal. prevents glucocorticoid and androgen synthesis.

30
Q

Metyrapone

A

Inhibits 11 Beta hydroxylase preventing activation of steroids
