Q

thyroxine (thyroid hormone) synthesis

A

-thyroglobulin exocytosed into follicle-iodide transported into cell, oidized to iodine and released into follicle-1 or 2 iodine molecules are added to tyrosineson thyroglobulin (organification), catalyzed by thyroid peroxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxidet3 = MIT + DIT (mono and di ioidothyronine)t4 = DIT +DITts/t4 are formed by oxidative coupling of 2 iodinated tyrosyls near each other — one donates and the other accpts iodotyrosyl; the acceptor remains attached to thyroglobulint3 is active

Q

PTH

A

stimulates bone resorption to increase serum caalso retains ca in the kidney and gutstored by chief cells and released when ca is low–works through its receptor on osteoblasts to make RANKL –> this stimulates osteoclasts formation and increased absorption in intestines and kidney

Q

vitD and PTH roles in ca regulation

A

vit D increases intestinal absorptionPTH causes bone resorption, increases vit D activation, and increases renal Ca absorption

Q

Parathyroid Hormone Paradox

A

injectable PTH stimulates bone formationcontinuous levels of PTH leads to bone loss while intermittent short bursts can be anabolic for boneintermittent PTH favors osteoblasts; continuous favors osteoclasts

Q

how osteoblasts influence osteoclasts

A

PTH causes osteoblasts to produce RANKLRANKL binds to RANK on osteoclasts and activates them

Q

OPG

A

osteoprotegerinOPG binds RANKL and inhibits osteoclast activation (in absence of PTH)opg increases in response to estrogen (inhibits osteoclasts)opg decreases in response to PTH

Q

denosumab

Study These Flashcards
A

antiresorptive drug that is sn antibody against RANKLused to treat post-menopausal osteoporosis; increases BMD

20
Q

estrogen and testosterone have what effect on bones?

Study These Flashcards
A

stimulate bone formation! (decrease in osteoclasts)

21
Q

hyperparathyroidism causes

Study These Flashcards
A

excess PTH –> osteoporosis

22
Q

how does lack of Ca cause convulsions

Study These Flashcards
A

NMJ is more permeable to ions and readily depolarizes –> convulsions/tetany

23
Q

1-hydroxylase

Study These Flashcards
A

forms bioactive vitamin DPTH increases 1-hydroxylase levels

24
Q

ca absorption in the intestine is directly dependent on_______ and indirectly on ________

Study These Flashcards
A

directly on bioactive vit Dindirectly on PTH which forms the vit D

25
ca and phosphate: bone/intestine vs kidneys
in bone/intestine phosphate and go same directionbut in kidney, ca and phosphate go opposite directtions(PTH retains Ca and excretes phosphate)
26
where is ca [ ] higher :1) bone or plasma?2) extra cellular or intracellular
1 - plasma; hydroxyapatite has los solubility2 - extracellular; gradient allows it to act as a diffusible messenger to bind regulatory proteins
27
CaM
calmodulinsca binding proteins that transduce ca signalslocated in cytoplasm, membranes and organelles; also aids in mitotic spindleundergo transformational change when bound to ca ; can bind up to 4 cahigh affinity and specificity
28
calcitriol
active vit D3 (1,25 - OH2D3)
29
vit D biosynthesis
cholesterol --> 7-dehydrocholesterolphotochemically converted to pre-vitamin D3isomerizes to cholecalciferol (D3)opens B ring to form a sterolhydroxylation at 25 (liver) by 25 hydroxylase--> 25-OHD3hydroxylation at 1 (kidney) by 1-hydroxylase--> 1,25-OH2D3
30
1-hydroxylase
only in the kidney (inner mito membrane)so the kidney is the only site 1,25 vit D can be madephosphate depletion activates 1-hydroxylationhyperphosphatemia inhibits itinduced by hypocalcemia/PTH
31
can you make 1,25-OH2D3 after renal failure or bilateral nephrectomy?
no; kindeys are the only place where 1-hydroxylase is
32
how does decline in estrogen affect vit D?
--> lowers 1 hydroxylaseless 1,25 OH2D3--> post menopausal osteoporosis
33
24-hydroxylase
24 hydroxylase is in the kidney24 hydroxylation results in 24,25 OH2D3 which is inactiveinduced in hypercalcemia; suppressed by hypocalcemia
34
PTH has no direct effect on
intestine
35
blood ca and calcitonin are ____ related
directly
36
osteoporosis vs osteopenia
osteoporosis = BMD more than 2.5 std dev below meanosteopenia = between -1 and -2.5
37
osteoporosis vs osteomalacia
OP = bone volume is reduced but mineralization is normalOM = abnormal mineralization
38
ca and vit D supplements can cause
constipation
39
risk of estrogen therapy for osteoporosis
breast cancer, thromboembolism, stroke. MI
40
drug of choice for bad osteoporosis?
bisphosphonatesalendronate or risedronatenot absorbed well - so take w water and remain upright for 30 min
41
risk of alendronate
esophagitis, esophageal ulcer
42
SERMs
selective estrogen receptor modulatorsRALOXIFENE - used for osteoporosis less BMD improvement than bisphosphonates**reduces MI and cancer risk though!!
43
who should not use SERMs?
pregnant womenit is teratogenic!!!
44
salmon calcitonin
analgesic effect for osteoprosis fractures
45
pattern of ca and phos in PTH mediated disease
ca increases and phos decreases or vv
46
pattern of ca and phos in vitD mediated disease
ca and phos go in same direction
47
stones bones abd groans and psych moans
hypercalcemia
