23
Q

where does ACTH work and what hormone does it increase

A

adrenal cortex and increases cortisol release

24
Q

gonadoptropin releasing hormone increases what from ant pituitary

A

FSH and LH

25
Q

where do FSH and LH work

A

gonads to increase estrogen, progesterone and testosterone

26
Q

dopamine inhibits release of what

A

prolactin which works on breast tissue

27
Q

GnRH in pulses sitmulates what

A

LH and FSH release

28
Q

when GnRH is released continuously what occurs

A

inhibits LH and FSH through down regulation of GnRH Receptors

29
Q

what drug do we have similar to GH

A

somatotropin

30
Q

What is the IGF-1 agonist

A

mecasermin

31
Q

what are the somatostatin analogs

A

ocreotide

32
Q

what is the GH antagonist

A

pegvisomant

33
Q

what are the dopamine agonists

A

bromocriptine and cabergoline

34
Q

What are the vasopressin R agonists

A

vasopressin and desmopressin

35
Q

what are the vasopressin R antagonists

A

conivaptan, tolvaptan

36
Q

effects of somatotropin

A

sitmulate longitudinal bone growth until epiphyses close

anabolic effects in muscle, catabolic in lipid cells

37
Q

when do you use somatotropin therapeutically

A

GH deficiency
ped patients with short stature (prader willi, turner, noonan)
chronic wasting in AIDS patients
short bowel syndrome

38
Q

What is difference of mecasermin and mecasermin rinfabate

A

rinfabate extends half life

39
Q

clinical uses mecasermin

A

IGF-1 deficiency not responsive to rhGH theapy

children with GH gene deletionsor have developed neutralizing Ab

40
Q

adverse effect of mecasermin

A

hypoglycemia

41
Q

What are the 2 strategies for GH antagonists

A

reduce secretion of GH (somatostatin analogs)

block aciton of GH at R level (GH R antagonist)

42
Q

how do somatostatin analogs work

A

inhibit release of GH and glucagon, insulin, gastrin and other hormones)

43
Q

what drug is more potent than somatostain in inhibiting GH and insulin secretion

A

octreotide and lanreotide

44
Q

Octreotide and lanreotide are used when

A

anterior pituitary adenomas that secrete GH (acromegaly and gigantism)

45
Q

adverse effects somatostatin analogs

A

nausea, vomting, GI (steatorrhea, gallstones)

CV effects: sinus brady and conduction disturbances

46
Q

MOA pegvisomant

A

GH R antagonists that inhibits binding of GH thus preventing signal transduction

47
Q

what is used to Tx hyperPRL

A

dopamine agonists

48
Q

MOA bromocriptine and Cabergonline

A

dopamine D2 R agonists (dec PRL)

49
Q

clinical uses of hyperPRL

A

acromegaly, Parkinson

shrink pituitary PRL secreting tumors

50
Q

adverse effects bromocriptine and Cabergonline

A

nausea, HA, light-headedness, orthostatic hypotension, fatigue

51
Q

what is different about posterior pituitary hormones from anterior

A

posterior do not use a portal system

there is no positive regulation, act directly on target tissues

52
Q

MOA vasopressin

agonist on vasopressin V1V2 R

53
Q

acivation vasopressin R 1 causes what? V2?

A

V1: vasoconstriciton
V2: stimulate aquaporin in kidneys to increase water resorption

54
Q

clinal uses of vasopressin

A

pituitary DI, hemophilia A, vWdisease

55
Q

what drug has longer half life to vasopressin

A

desmopressin

Q

MOA conivaptan and tolvaptan

A

antagonists to V2 R

promote excretion of free water resulting in net fluid loss, increased urine output, dec urine osmolality

57
Q

clinical uses of conivaptan and tolvaptan

A

Tx of clinically significant hypervolemic or euvolemic hyponatremia( HF, cirrhosis or SIADH)
