Q

69% of sex hormones (estrodiol and testosterone) are bound to ______
30% bound to _______
And 1% is _____

A

SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin produced by the liver)
- that’s why estrogens help with acne - they accelerate the SHBG production so less free hormones are circulating. Also helpful with menopause. ONLY with ORAL form.

Q

What is the signal for the LH surge?

A

Estrodiol positive feedback a sustained 200pgx50hours. This triggers hypothalamus to pulse out GnRH like crazy to trigger the LH surge (with a little FSH trailing behind)

A

Rapid + shallow

Q

Which hormone is responsible for spinnbarkeit thin stretchy cervical mucus?
Thick?

A

Estrogen. - to facilitate sperm. Swimming.
Progesterone - to form a plug and protect the uterus

17
Q

What hormone inhibits LH, relaxes myometrium and tubes, develops breast lobules and promotes the secretory endometrium?

A

Progesterone

18
Q

T/F: during early menarche (11-15) there is earlier ovulation due to the body’s sensitivity to hormones

A

True. You could get pregnant during your period.

19
Q

Follicular/proliferative phase is dominated by _______

A

FSH and E2

20
Q

Draw slide 51 - feedback loops - add to diagram

A
21
Q

When does hCG first appear?
How long does it stimulate the CL progesterone secretion?

A

9-13 days after ovulation
For 9-10 weeks or 100 days until the placenta takes over.

22
Q

What does SERM mean and what is an example?

A

Selective Estrogen Receptor
Clomiphene (Clomid) - tricks the pituitary into producing more FSH and LH (act as as anti-estrogen)

23
Q

No period by age 14 with no secondary sex characteristics is known as _________ amenorrhea.

A

Primary

24
Q

Secondary amenorrhea is absence of _____ cycles (regular period) or _____ (irregular period)

A

3
6months

25
Q

If you’re not ______ then you don’t get your period.

A

Ovulating.

26
Q

What is the progesterone challenge?

A

Give progesterone for 5-10 day. There should be withdrawal bleeding within 14 days of stopping the Pg - if this bleeding occurs, then ANOVULATION is the reason.

27
Q

What labs do you draw in amenorrhea?

A

TSH, prolactin.

28
Q

Make a flow chart for amenorrhea.

A
29
Q

If you give estrogen and Pg and you DO have withdrawal bleeding, what is the cause? if you do NOT have withdrawal bleeding?

A

Ovarian failure (not producing estrogen)
Endometrium failure (unable to respond to estrogen) OR
Ectopic production of prolactin.

30
Q

Asherman’s syndrome - do chart on this.

A
31
Q

How can we asses ovarian function?
In ovarian failure, FSH and LH will be _______
Pituitary or CNS failure, FSH and LH will be ______

A

High. (Chromosome eval. - Fragile X?)
NL or low

32
Q

What is the normal prolactin level?

A

20-100. >100 considered abnormal.

33
Q

What is going wrong with the IV compartment (hypothalamus) if there is amenorrhea?

A

Weight loss, anorexia, bulimia, exercise, stress (deployment), OCP (post-pill), Kallmann’s Syndrome (amenorrhea+anosmia).

34
Q

Compartment III - Pituitary - what could go wrong?

A

Empty Sella Syndrome - subarachnoid tissue doesn’t separate pituitary from Hypo-T

Sheehan’s syndrome - acute necrosis of pituitary (PP syndrome)
-failure of lactation, loss of pubic and axillary hair, can be life threatening.

Pituitary adenoma.

35
Q

Compartment II - ovaries - what could go wrong?

A

Turner’s Syndrome, Mosaicism, XYY Gonadal Dysgenesis, Gonadal a genesis, resistant ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, radiation and chemotherapy.

Leiomyoma (uterine fibroids)
Malignancy and hyperplasia

Non-structural
