25
down regulation of hormones ## Footnote what is 1 thing that causes this?
increased hormone levels cause the number of receptors to decrease and therefore decreasing the sensitivity to the hormone
26
cell surface receptors ## Footnote what are 2 things this method requires? binding of hormone can signal what 2 things?
require: 1. first messenger 2. second messenger binding of hormone can cause: **_1. cause intracellular cascade_** **_2.direct effect on opening ion channel in cell membrane which influx becomes the secondary messenger_** ex: calcium
27
what is the most widely distributed secondary messenger system?
cyclic adenosine monophosphate system (cAMP)
28
secondary messenger system: cyclic adenosine monophosphate system what are the 5 steps in creating this pathway?
1. **_first messenger**_ _**hormone**_ binds with the _**surface receptor_** 2. the binding activates the **_G protein and converts ADP to ATP_** 3. this conversion cause the G protein to move through the membrane and **_activate adenylate cyclase_** 4. this activation c**_converts ATP to cAMP which is the SECOND MESSENGER_** 5. **_cAMP goes on to activate OTHER PROTEIN_** \*\*phosphidesterase breaks down the cAMP which causes the actions of the hormone to stop and shuts the effect off\*\*
29
what is the advantage of the secondary messenger system?
amplification ## Footnote allows a small amount of hormone to have a large effect
30
EPINEPHRINE what type of receptor pathway does it use? what recptor type does it bind to? what is its effect on the targe cell? 2
uses **_secondary messenger system using cAMP system_** epi binds to the beta adrenergic receptor EFFECTS IN TARGET CELL: 1. smooth muscle relaxation 2. vasodilation
31
secondary messenger system: inositol-phospholipid calcium plathway
1. hormone binds to the **_plasma membrane receptor_** 2. activates **_G protein_** 3. G protein acitvates **_phospholipase C**_ which cleaves and creates _**inositol triphosphate and Diacylglycerol (DAG)_** .4. inositol triphosphate causes **_release of Ca ions from intracelluar stores_** 5. DAG **_activates protein kinase C_**
32
norepinephrine ## Footnote what pathway does it initiate? what receptor does it bind to? what two effects does it have on the target cell?
binds to plasma membrane receptors and activates **_inisitol-phosphilipid-calcium pathway_** BINDS WITH _ALPHA-ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR_ effect on the target cell: 1. smooth muscle contraction 2. vasoconstriction
33
nuclear receptors ## Footnote what are the 5 steps that occur when these are stimulated?
1. passively diffuse through the membrane and **_bind to receptors in on the nuclear membrane or in the cytoplasm_** 2. enter the nucleus as **_hormone receptor complexes_** 3. they **_bind to the DNA reponse elements or "HORMONE RESPONSE ELEMENTS**_ whic is the _**promoter site that initiates transcription_** 4. transcription produces **_mRNA_** 5. mRNA moves into the cytoplams to be **_translated to proteins_** \*\*\*these proteins either work internaly or externally and can have an inhibitory or promotionary overall effect\*\*\*
34
hypophysis what is this?
the combination of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland connected by the hypophysial portal system which goes from the hypothalamus and drains into the anterior pituitary
35
hypothalmus/hypothalmic hormones 4 things it controls? regulated by what two things?
CONTROLS: 1. PAIN 2. EMOTION 3. BODY TEMP 4. NEURAL INPUT **regulated by BOTH _hormonal feedback mechanisms_ and _neural input (neurotransmitters)_**

41
what are the 4 regulation methods of hormones?
1. negative feedback regulation 2. positive feedback regulation 3. exogenous feedback mechanism 4. regulation via hormone they produce
42
negative feedback mechanism of hormones ## Footnote how does this work? ex?
higher levels of hormone cause negative feedback on the hypothalmic system and decrease production ex: TSH
43
positive feedback mechanism of hormones ## Footnote how does this work? example?
higher levels of hormone cause positive feedback and increase the levels are are secreted ex: estradiol, during the follicular phase once it reaches threshold it increases the amount that is produced to reach the LH surge
44
exogenous hormones ## Footnote what can these do? example?
can influence the normal feedback control of hormone production and release ex: administration of corticosteroids hormones causes suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-target cell system that regulates the production of these hormones
45
regulation via substance the hormone produces ## Footnote what is this? 2 examples?
regulated by the level of substance they regulate ex: insulin; insulin levels are regulated in response to to blood glucose levels ex: aldosterone; levels change in response to the blood levels of sodium and potassium
46
what are the 8 functions of the hypothalamus?
1. temp 2. osmolarity 3. blood nuitrients 4. inflammation mediatiors 5. emotions 6. pain 7. blood hormone levels 8. rgulates secretion of pituitary gland
47
what are the two ways the hypothalmus releases (neuro)hormones?
1. **_neurosecretory neurons extend into posterior pituitary_** and secrete **_neurohormones ADH and oxytocin_** into **_SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION_** 2. neurosecretory neurons **_secrete RELEASING HORMONES_** into **_PORTAL CIRCULATION_** that stimulate the **_anterior pituitary endocrine cells appropriate receptors_**
48
anterior pituiary hormones ## Footnote where are they released? act on what?
enter **systemic circulation** and **act on receptors on the cell** \*\*many targets of pituitary hormones also act on endocrine cells causing them to release hormones\*\*

50
radioimmunoassay ## Footnote what is this? what do you use? what one dxs is particullary important?
radiolabeled form of the hormone antibody to quantify the hormone level in the sample decreases as the amount of unlabeled hormone in the sample is increased **_antithyroid peroxidases (anti-TPO)_** measured in the initial work up and followup for patients with **_hashimoto thyroiditis_**
51
urine tests what type do you wnana do?
24 hour urine sample provides better picture than an isolated sample
52
stimulation tests ## Footnote when do you use this? what do you do in this test? 1 example? result interpreation?
used when **_hypofunction of an endocrine organ_** is suspected a stimuating hormone is given to see the ability for the organ to produce that hormone is measured ex: the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal system can be evalauged through stimulation tests *using ACTH and measuring the cortisol response* * -failure to increase cortisol levels after ACTH stimulation test suggests an inadequate capacity to produce cortisol by the adrenals*
53
suppression test when do you do this? what happens in these conditions? 1 example? what happens in normal people? in disease?
used when **_hyperfunction_** of an **_endocrine disorde_**r is suspected the negative feedback process isn’t functioning appropriately so the excessive secretion of of hormone continues ex: when a GH secreting tumor is suspected, the GH repsonse to glucose load is measured - - normally a high glucose level would suppress GH levels - however, in adults with tumor producing hormones, the levels remain high
54
thyroid physiology ## Footnote what system does this depend on? what is the hormone that controls this and where does it bind? what does this process require to function appropriately?
dependent on **hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid acis** **_TSH**_ turns thyroid on and off by binding to the _**follicular cells of the thyroid_** the process of creating T3 and T4 **_requires iodine!!_**
55
thyroid hormone synthesis ## Footnote what does this require? what is converted? what is it linked with? 2 things it makes? how does this make T3/T4?
requires **_iodide trapping**_ followed by _**thyroid peridoxidase conversion to IODINE**_ and linking it to _**thyroglobulin (tyrosine)**_ to make _**MIT and DIT_** \*\*\*the different combinations of MIT and DIT make T3 and T4 which are released into the blood\*\*\*\*
56
Formation of thyroid hormone: MIT+DIT+thyroglobulin=
monotyrosine (MIT)+diiodotyrosine (DIT)+thyroglobulin=**_T3_**
57
formation of thyroid hormones: DIT+DIT+thyroglobulin=
diodotyrosine (DIT)+diodotyrosine (DIT)+thyroglobulin= **_S4_**
58
which one is produced more....T4 or T3? so what happens with this? which one causes more effecT?
T4!!!!!!! 13x more T4 than T3!!! 50% of this is deiodinated for form T3 \*\*\*it is primaryily T3 that enters cells and exhibits effects\*\*\*
59
what percent of T3 and T4 are bound and ree? which enter the cell to exert their activity? which one is more active? by how much?
T4: 99.98% bound, 0.25% free T3: 99.7% bound, 0.3% free \*\*\*only the free T4 or T3 can enter the cell and exert its biological activity\*\* **T3 is 3-4 times more biologically active than T4**
60
what happens to the majority of T4? this accounts for what percent?
T4 gets converted to T3 in the tissues, especially liver brain and hear by _deiodinase enzymes_ 80-90% of the avaliable T3 was created by this conversion manner!!
61
thyroid hormone transporters (3) what can changes in the most common transporter cause? what is an example of this?
1. 80% by thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) 2. TBPA 3. albumin \*\*\*\*\*changes in the TBG leads to changes in the total T3 and T4 levels in the _absence of disease_ so need to look at this!!\*\*\* Ex: TBG levels increase with estrogen in pregnancy so to TOTAL T4 levels with be _increased_ but the free levels will _remain normal_
62
thyroid hormone ## Footnote where does it bind? 2 major functions? essenital for 3 things?
BINDS WITH NUCLEAR OR INTRACELLULAR RECEPTORS 1. **_crucial role in cell differentiation and maturation in developement_** 2. **_maintains thermogenic and metabolic homeostasis in adult_** essential for **_metabolism, protein synthesis , and organ function_**
63

leads to severe mental retardation "cretinism" \*\*this is why we screen in all newborns\*\*
64
what is the most common cause of thyroid disorders? 2 CAUSES?
result of autoimmune process ## Footnote cause: **_1. GLANDULAR DESTRUCTION AND UNDER PRODUCTION_** **_2. STIMULATE OVERPRODUCTION OF THYROID HORMONE_**
65
what is this?
goiter
66
TSH ## Footnote controlled by what type of mechanism? what instance would it be increased or decreased relative to thyroid function? sensitive? means?
controlled by **_negative feedback_** \*\*THINK ABOUT THIS SINCE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK\*\* DECREASED in HYPERTHYROIDISM INCREASED in HYPOTHYROIDISM extremely sensitive **_indicator of thyroid function so NORMAL RESULT EXCLUDES HYPO/HYPER THYROIDISM_**
67
the TSH is always ______ with hypo/hyper thyroidism normal/abnormal values?
the TSH is always **_abnormal_** with hypo/hyper thyroidism normal: less than 3 abnormal: 3-6....consider hypothyroidism
68

*occasionally* needed to confirm hypo/hyperthyroidism directly measures free T4 helpful in **_management of thyrotoxicosis_** normal 9-24
69
anti-thyroid antibodies ## Footnote what are 2 conditions this is elevated in? what is the anyibody name? what does it cause
autoimmune thyroid disease antibodies elevated in **_hashimotos and graves disease**_-most common thyroid disease and _**stimulated thryoid gland to release more hormone_** TSH-R AB (TSAb) aka thryoid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies
70
RAI uptake/scan ## Footnote what is used in this study? what does it tell you? what can the two different patterns tell you?
oral I-131 take up by the thyroid......the **_% uptake indicates the gland activity_** and provides a picture of the gland helpful in differentiating the types of thyrotoxicosisc diffuse uptake=graves localized=toxic nodule with high specific uptake \*\*think about it: if an area is making a large amount of hormone, then it will require a large amount of iodide to make it so it wil concentrate in the specific area (nodule) or diffuse (entire thyroid) and indicate the issue
71
what is the definitive test for thyroid cancer or nodule?
fine needle aspiration! KEY and NEEDED for dx!!
72
hyperthyroidism: thyrotoxicosis what is this? what is elevated, what id decreased? what is the most common cause of this?
clinical syndrome caused by **_excess circulating thyroid hormone**_ (T4 or T3) causing the _**TSH to be decreased/suppressed_** (occurs becauseit is negative feedback so if high levels of T3 or T4 causes TSH to be low) GRAVES DISEASE IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE!!!
73

what is the most common overall cause of cushing syndrome?
iatrogenic whe did it with high does corticosteroid drugs
137
explain the dexamethasone suppression test that is used to dx cushings?
dexamethasone is 4x more potent than cortisol...therefore giving this at 11 pm should cause the cortisol to be lower in the morning because it suppresses ACTH \*\*\*\*if you don't get this response and cortisol is still elevated means that there is a tumor secreteing it because the quantities is so high that the dexamethasone does nothing!!\*\*\*
