Q

synthesis of thyroid hormones

A 
trapping:
iodide from blood enters follicular cell through NIS
-TSH increases NIS activity
iodide leaves cell via pendrin to lumen
-thyroglobulin also secreted to lumen

iodination:
iodination of thyroglobulin in lumen
-stimulated by TSH

conjugation:
iodinated tyrosines conjugated to form T4 and T3
-stimulated by TSH

endocytosis:
TSH stimulates endocytosis of iodinated thyroglobulin into follicular cells from lumen (colloid)

proteloysis:
TSH stimulates proteolysis of iodinated thyroglobulin, forming T4 and T3 in lumen of follicular cell lysoendosome

secretion:
TSH stimulates secretion of T4 and T3 into circulation

hyperplasia:
TSH also stimulates growth of thyroid gland

23
Q

hormones bound to protein

A

long-term, slow acting

fat-soluble - steroid and thyroid hormones

24
Q

thyroid hormones binding protein

A

creates hormone reservoir and extends half life

25
Q

protein hormone receptors

A

bind GPCR

-coupled to cAMP, phospholipase C, phospholipase A2

26
Q

cAMP coupled GPCR

A

activation (a-s) or inhibition (a-i) of adenylyl cyclase

affects cAMP levels

cAMP activates protein kinase A

27
Q

phospholipase C coupled GPCR

A

phospholipase C cleaves PIP2

-release of IP3 and DAG

IP3 releases ER Ca stores and activates Ca dependent kinase (like protein kinase C)

DAG activates protein kinase C

28
Q

phospholipase A2 coupled GPCR

A

activation of PKA2 - cleaves membrane phospholipids to produce lysophospholipid and arachidonic acid

arachadonic acid converted to eicosanoids

29
Q

A

receptor that increases cGMP

30

Q

HRE activation

A

hormone response elements

-once receptor activated:
dimerize, bind 5’ DNA sequence (HRE), initiate transcription

33
Q

HREs

A

DNA sequence
highly conserved
-specificity depends on presence of receptor

dissociation may occur and receptor may return to nucleus or be degraded

receptor expression not induced by steroid hormone itself

34
Q

amine hormones

A

bind cell surface receptors

-adrenoreceptors or dopamine receptors

35
Q
