Calcitonin

171
Q

Decreases bone resorption of calcium

172
Q

A

GH

175
Q

What is the effect of T3 on the body?

A

Increased:

  1. Bone growth and CNS maturation

176
Q

How do increased T3/T4 levels effect TRH?

A

Anterior pituitary - decreased sensitivity to TRH

Hypothalamus - decreased TRH release

177
Q

How does TRH effect T3/T4?

A

TRH stimulates TSH release from pituitary which stimulates follicular cells in thyroid to release T3/T4

178

Q

When are increased TBG levels seen?

A

Pregnancy and OCP use

183
Q

What sex hormone increases TBG?

A

Estrogen

184
Q

What enzyme is responsible for the peripheral conversion of T4 to T3?

A

5’-deiodinase

185
Q

What thyroid hormone is the major thyroid product?

A

T4

186
Q

Which thyroid hormone has a greater affinity for the nuclear receptor in target tissues?

A

T3

187
Q

Which enzyme is responsible for oxidation, organification of iodide and coupling of MIT and DIT?

A

Thyroid peroxidase

188
Q

T4 is composed of what two molecules?

A

2 DIT molecules

189
Q

T3 is composed of what two molecules

A

1 DIT + 1 MIT

190

A

Propylthiouracil (PTU)

191
Q

Which drug inhibits only thyroid peroxidase?

A

Methimazole

192
Q

What effect do glucocorticoids have on thyroid hormone production?

A

Inhibit peripheral conversion of T4 to T3

193
