Q

HPA axis

A

hypothalamus to anterior pituitary to target gland

i.e. hypothalamus has TRH to AP has TSH to target T3 T3 in thyroid

19
Q

mineralcortioicd regulated by

A
  • Secretion of angiotensin II
  • Serum K+ levels
20
Q

steroid hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, estrogen, testosterone) are made from

A

cholesterol (then enzymes to convert to homrone)

made on demand bc lipid soluble (hydrophobic) can cross cell membrane via simple diffusion

21
Q

how to get cholesterol

A

from LDL then use * Cholesteryl ester hydrolase (CEH) removes the fatty acid

22
Q

in the inner mitochondrial membrane what helps to get cholesterol in

A

Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)

23
Q

what does cholesterol turn into in inner mitochondrial memrbane

A

pregnenlone

24
Q

bow to get pregnenolone to become cortsiol

A

lots of rxn via : side-chain cleavage enzyme (SCC)
* This is the rate limiting step of the synthesis pathway

25
Q

steps of make cortsiol

A

LdL to cholesterol with cholesterol ester hydorlase (CEH)

then into inner mitochondria membrane via STAR

then become pregnenolone

: side-chain cleavage enzyme (SCC) to turn into cortisol
* This is the rate limiting step of the synthesis pathway

26
Q

ACTH upregulates cortisol production (steroidogensis)

A

▪ Increased LDL receptor expression
▪ Increased activity of CEH and StAR
▪ Increased activity of the side chain cleavage enzymes

27
Q

CRH and ACTH regulation

A

via circadian and SCN and melatonin and stress

28
Q

synthesis of mineralocorticoids (aldosterone)

A

same as cortisol but when gets to corticosterone use aldosterone synthase enzyme to convert to aldosterone

this is done in zona glomerulosa

unlike cortisol in zona fasciulata

29
Q

RAAS system regulates aldosterone

A

decreased perfusion to kidney the release renin then ANGIO II to vasoconstrict and make aldosterone and absorption Na+ and secrete. K+

30
Q

aldosterone

A

▪ Decreased potassium reabsorption from the GI tract
▪ Increased activity of the sodium/potassium pump in many
cells
▪ Increased sodium reabsorption and increased potassium
secretion from the kidney

31
Q

how is cortisol carried in circulation

A

cortsiol via cortisol binding protein

aldosterone is unbound

32
Q

what needs to happen to cortsiol and aldosterone by the liver before being excreted by the kidneys

A

glucuronidation makes the hydrophobic steroid hormones more polar & therefore more easily excreted by the kidney

  • Eliminated forms of cortisol are known as 17-hydroxycorticosteroids
  • Aldosterone as 18-glucuronide
33
Q

catecholamine (NE and E) are made form

A

tyrosine –> DOPA –> dopamine –> NE–> E

34
Q

how does cortsiol convert NE to E

sympathetic stimulation

A

PMNT enzyme

35
Q

catabolism of catecholimees

A

NE –> noremetaneprhine
E –> metanephrine
via COMT

then via MAO into vanillylmandelic acid (VMA)

excrete in urine

36
Q

tertiary secondary and primary endocrine disroder

A

territory at hypothalamus
secondary at pituaitary
primary at final organ

37
Q

cushings syndrome and most common cause

A

hypercortisol (mostly from iatreogenic/ meds)

38
Q

Cushing disease

A

ACTH procucing microadenoma

secondary - high cortisol

39
Q

adrenal labs

A

dexametahaone syppresion test

40
Q

Addisons vs cushings

A

cushing- too much cortsiol form secondary

addisons- primary adrenal insufficiency

41
Q

addison

A

Chronic primary Adrenal Insufficiency

not enough cortsiol, aldosterone and androgen

42
Q

primary hyperaldosteronism/ conn syndrome

A
  • Causes sodium retention and potassium excretion * Resulting in hypertension and hypokalemia
43
Q

congenital adrenal hyperplasia

A

cant make cortisol

Most common enzyme deficiency: 21-Hydroxylase

accumulate progesterone –> ambiguous genatlia

44
Q

chromaffin cells in adnreal medulla for

A

NE and E (catecholameins)

45
