Chapter 9- Hormones Flashcards
(20 cards)
what is secreted in response to increasing blood glucose levels
insulin
Glucagon
secreted in response to hypoglycemia to mobilize glucose
Type I diabetes
low/no levels of insulin
Type II diabetes
insulin is produced but cell receptors are blocked
issues in selecting insulin
amino acid sequence, strength, onset of action, duration of action, dosing accuracy and convenience, cost
why cant you give insulin orally
gastric acid will destroy the amino acid chain
NPH and Lente
Intermediate acting insulin, given SQ, and last 6-24 hrs
Protamine zine
long acting and zinc helps delay the absorption so you get a longer treatment
what problems do cats and dogs have with their thyroid
Cats get hyperthyroid
dogs get hypothyroid
Anti-hyperthyroid drugs
I131 is radioactive iodine
and tapazole is methimizole
Canine Hypoadrenocorticism
also known as Addison’s disease in humans
what causes hypodrenocoticism
lack of glucocorticoids and mineralacorticoids
Elevated cortisol
Cushings disease
what is the origination from pituitary or adrenal gland (K9 Hyperadrenocorticism)
Adrenal Gland
how do adrenocorticolytics
it interrupts the sequence of the product
if you overdose will get the other disease
Adrenal disorders in ferrets
get Lupron (depot) injections
Lupron
It blocks the gonadatropin releasing hormone from reaching the pituitary gland so FSH is not released
FSH is what tells the adrenal glad to make estrogan
Prostaglandins known as Lutalyse
synchronize bovine estrus cycle
Progestins
decreases uterine activity and it blocks estrus in the bitch
puts estrus in suspension
Oxytocin
caused milk letdown, recovery from uterine inertia (contraction), may assist in dystocia (causes problems when giving birth)
has direct effect on myometrium
