Sex Hormones Flashcards
Estradiol
Estrogen
Moa: E binds to R and goes to gene transcription to produce the protein
Ethinyl estradiol
15-20x more potent
Slow estrogen MOA
E binds to R and goes to gene transcription to produce the protein
Rapid Estrogen MOA
E binds to R and activates a kinase to send signals
Subtypes MOA
Alpha and Beta and CF can varries the level and type of estrogen
Estrogen effects
development, nervous, cardio, meta, hepatic
Dev: too much = risk of breat cancer
Ner: menopause and hot flashes
cardio: increase clotting factors and stroke, meno:dyslipidemia, Paradoxial HTN, edema and bloating
Meta and hep: TGC, gallstone, ORAL - toxic and lees bio
Repo: meno: abnormal bleeding, Imbalance endometrosis or edno cancer
Skelet: meno: osteoprosis
HRT CI
Breast cancer, liver disease, stroke, DVT, CVD,
Estrogen to right patient ( uterus intact, uterus absent, Moderate CVD)
- intact - estro and proge
- absent - estrogen
- mod CVD - no oral
Progestins
ner: drowsy, body temp increase, weight gain
repo: decreas sperm motility, supporess ovulation (decrease GnRH enchacned with estrogen), matures lining
Estrogen and progestin levels: high and low
estrogen - low= Early cycle breakthrough, hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea
excess = clotting, cancer parodoxial HTN
Progestin - Low = late cycle breakthrough, HYPERmenorrhea
excess = hypomenorrhea or amenorrhea
When to not give E and P
CVD, DVT/PE, Afib, Stroke, Smoker >35
When to not give P
8 hr HL, need perfect adherance, same time each day
E+P dosage forms
- monophasic
- multiphasic increase and decreasing does
- extended interval dont want periods: improve endometriosis PMDD
Medroxyprogesterone
potent and longer HF
norethindrone
1st gen testoterone
OCP = pogesterone only
moderate androgen
