Lecture 68 Flashcards
_______ controls thyroid hormone secretion?
Negative feedback
Negative feedback exerted predominantly at _______ to decrease TSH
anterior pituitary
_______ provides feedback
T3
TSh is tonically inhibited by _______ and _______ from hypothalamus
Dopamine and somatostatin
TSH can also be inhibited by?
cortisol and GH
Thyroid hormones decrease the sensitivity of the anterior pituitary to TRH thereby decreasing _______?
TSH secretion
Hypothalamic nuclei secrete TRH into
portal vessels
Negative feedback: Slightly pulsible TSH and fairly
steady T3 and T4
during fasting TSH response to TRH will
diminish and T3 falls (decrease metabolic rate)
TRH stimulates
TSH
Meal or cold exposure increases _______
T3 availability
T4 deiodinated equally to active T3 and rT3 within
tissues
if more thyroid hormone action needed, get more T3 relative to
rT3 and vise versa
_______ converts T4 to T3
5’ deiodinase
_______ converts T4 to rT3
5 deiodinase
starvation effects on conversion: inhibition of 5’ deiodinase
lower metabolism rate and O2 consumption
during starvation effects does the brain 5’ deiodinase get effected?
NO
during starvation effects the brain 5’ deiodinase does not get effected: more T3 if _______, less T3 if critically ill
cold
_______ are major sites of degradation of thyroid hormones
Liver, kidneys, skeletal muscle
some T4 excreted in
bile
How does T4 enter cells?
Facilitated diffusion
T4 is deiodinated to T3 where?
Inside cells
How is T4 deiodinated to T3 inside cells?
5’ deiodinase
T3 binds receptors within
nucleus of cell
