29
Q

ACTH target organ

A

adrenal cortex

glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, androgen release

30
Q

GnRH release

A

endogenous - pulsatile - stimulates LH and FSH

continuously as drug - inhibit LH and FSH

31
Q

somatropin

A

recombinant human form of rhGH

32
Q

GH function

A

stimulates long bone growth

anabolic effects in muscle

catabolic effects in lipid cells

33
Q

GH and IGF-1 on insulin

A

GH reduces insulin sensitivity

IGF-1 losers serum glucose and reduces insulin

34
Q

GH deficiency in children

A

rhGH

-permits children with short stature to achieve normal height

35
Q

GH deficiency in adults

A

generalized obesity, reduced muscle mass, asthenia, reduced cardiac output

tx with rhGH reverses many of these symptoms

36
Q

GH treatment of kids with short stature

A

prader-willi
turner
noonan
idiopathic short stature

37
Q

wasting in AIDS patients

A

GH tx

38
Q

adverse effects of GH in kids

A

rare - intracranial HTN - vision changes, HA, N/V

scoliosis
otitis media
turner syndrome
hypothyroidism
pancreatitis
gynecomastia
39
Q

adverse effects of GH in adults

A

peripheral edema
myalgias
arthralgias
carpal tunnel syndrome

40
Q

known active malignancy

A

contraindication for GH

41
Q

mecasermin

A

recombinant IGF-1

in children with rare IGF-1 deficiency not responsive to GH - due to mutation in GH receptor

subQ admin**

42
Q

adverse of mecasermin

A

hypoglycemia

so just eat before

43
Q

anterior pituitary adenoma secreting GH

A

tx - GH antagonist

can cause acromegaly in adults and gigantism in children

44
Q

MOA of pegvisoman

A

GH receptor antagonist

45
Q

somatostatin analog MOA

A

suppression of GH secretion

46
Q

dopamine receptor agonist

A

can be used to suppress GH secretion

47
Q

somatostatin function

A

inhibit release of GH, TSH, glucagon, insulin, gastrin

48
Q

octreotide

A

somatostatin analog

45x more potent than SST in inhibiting GH release and 2x as potent in reducing insulin secretion

49
Q

octreotide admin

A

subQ

50
Q

adverse effects of octreotide

A
N/V, abdominal cramping, flatulence
steatorrhea
bulky bowel movements
gallstones
cardiac effects
vit B12 deficiency
51
Q

lanreotide

A

SST analog

-approved for tx of acromegaly

52
Q

pegvisomant MOA

A

GH receptor antagonist

53
Q

tx of acromegaly

A

pegvisomant more effective than SST analogs

54
Q

male hyperPRL

A

loss of libido and infertility

55
Q

female hyperPRL

A

galactorrhea and amenorrhea

56
Q

inhibition of PRL

A

dopamine agonists

57
Q

hypogonadims and infertility with hyper PRL

A

result from inhibition of GnRH release

58

dopamine D2 receptor agonist

ergot derivative

59
Q

A

dopamine D2 receptor agonist

ergot derivative

60
Q

cabergoline

A

dopamine agonist

longer half life, higher affinity, and greater selectivity for D2 receptors

lower incidence of side effects

61
Q
