Q

Anorexia nervosa - H-P effects

A

● Gonadal axis – low energy state resulting in hypothalamic amenorrhea (low LH/FSH)
○ Also have low androgen as well as estrogen
● Adrenal axis – chronically stimulated
○ hypercortisolemia
● Thyroid axis – nonthyroidal illness syndrome
○ Low total T3, high rT3 (due to increased peripheral deiodination of T4 to reverse T3)
○ Level of fT4 vary from normal to low-normal
○ TSH varies from normal to low-normal
● Growth – GH resistance due to chronic nutritional deprivation
○ GH high, Low IGF-1

i) Decreased BMD

- decreased leptin

77
Q

Causes of high prolactin

A

i) Pituitary adenoma: excess prolactin secreted from adenoma
iI) Primary hypothyroidism: TRH stimulates prolactin release
iii) Chronic renal failure and hepatic failure: impairied prolactin degradation and impaired central regulation
iv) Chest wall trauma: Neurologic mechanism, likely similar to suckling
v) Pituitary stalk trauma (tumour, TBI, LCH, acromegaly (other pituitary mass) etc.): when the pituitary stalk is damaged there is no longer dopamine from the hypothalamus coming in to inhibit prolactin release
vi) Macroprolactinemia: due to antibodies causing a large prolactin aggregate, which is not active so has no symptoms, but only increases bound prolactin
vii) Dopamine receptor blockers (metoclopramide, antipsychotics): stops dopamine from inhibiting prolactin release
viii) Estrogen: binds to estrogen receptor (response element) that controls the prolactin gene in the lactotrophs
ix) Pregnancy: increases estrogen
