Drugs affecting the thyroid
liothyronine
Drugs affecting the thyroid
levothyroxine ( synthroid)
Drugs affecting the thyroid
methimazole
Drugs affecting the thyroid
propylthiouracil
Drugs affecting the thyroid
this is produced when stimulated by corticotropin releasing hormone; it binds to receptors in the in the adrenal cortex and stimulates the release of adrenocorticosteroids and adrenal androgens
ACTH
which hormone serves as a diagnostic tool for differentiating between primary adrenal insufficiency ( Addison disease) and secondary adrenal insufficiency )?
ACTH
this hormone is released in response to growth hormone releasing hormone
growth hormone( somatotropin)
these hormones suppress GH and TSH release ; inhibits release of insulin, glucagon , and gastrin ; used clinically to tx certain types of tumors
somatostatin
this hormone is essential for the release of follicle stimulating hormone and leutinizing hormone from the pituitary; effective in tx of prostate cancer, endometriosis, and pubertu
GnRH
the secretion of this hormone is inhibited by DA; primary function is to stimulate and maintain lactation
prolactin
this hormone stimulates uterine contraction and milk ejection and is used clinically to induce labor
oxytocin
this hormone aka ADH; increases water permeability and reabsorption in the kidney ; used to tx diabetes insipidus
vasopressin
thyroid function is controlled by this hormone
TSH
this drug is usually used to Tx hypothyroidism,
levothyroxine
