Q

Hypothalamus and Pituitary secretions

A

Post pituitary - secretes directly to post pit which flows directly to blood (ADH and Oxy)

Ant Pit - Hypothalamus to Hypothalmic - hypophyseal portal veins to tropic cells which stim release of hormones to blood

Q

Actions of ACTH on adrenocorticol cells

A

Binds to receptor activating cAMP pathway

Increases hydrolysis of chol esters, increases star protein, increases growth and proliferation of ZF and ZR, increases steroidgenic enzymes (LDL-R and p450s)

Q

Biological effects of Cortisol

A
  1. Carbohydrate, protein, and fat intermediary metabolism ie increases their blood levels by appropriate mechanisms
  2. Protective during acute stress: increases raw materials for correct response
  3. Anti-inflamm and immunosuppressive - via glucocorticoids and blocks all steps in inflamm pathway
  4. Permissive for other hormones by enhancing their effects

25
Adrenergic receptors
alpha 1 - increases IP3, Ca, and DG Alpha 2 - decreases cAMP Beta - Increase cAMP
26
alpha receptors
Affinity for NE>E, respond to acute stress: vasocons of skin GI kidney, intestinal relax, constricts intestinal sphincters, dilates pupils, piloerection
27
beta 1 receptors
NE=E affinity, increase heart rate, increase cardiac contraction, increase lipolysis
28
Beta 2 receptor
E>NE, Intestinal relax, bladder wall relax, airway dilation, glycogenlysis
29
Synergism
Hormones are often synergistic which increase their effectiveness over the sum
30
ACTH stim test
Measure effect of adding ACTH, change of cortisol should be over 200. Impaired = adrenal insuff of impaired adrenal glands
31
Thyroid follicle
responsible for secreting and synth thyroid hormone
32
C cells
secrete calcitonin
33
Colloid
glycoprotein = thyroglobulin
34
TH synth
I pumped in by Na/I cotransporter I pumped into colloid via pendrin (I/cl) after oxidized by peroxidase I binds to TG and endocytosed to lysosomal digestion
35
Regulation of TH
autoreg by lvls of I, low levels of I increases transport into follicular cell hypo and pit - TRH and TSH
36
Conversion of T4 to T3
Via 5prime deiodinase in most tissue (also to rT3 which is bio inactive) Type 2 in pit for neg feedback on TSH
37
T3 and cell effect mech
THR and Retinoid X = TRE
38
TH effects
Increases Oxygen consumption and BMR
39
TH and metabolism
Increases glucose absorb in gut, increases glucose production and oxidation. Increases lipolysis. Catabolic therefore thermogenic.
40
TH and heart
Increases cardiac output and ventilation
41
TH and growth
Promotes bone formation and bone maturation
42
PTH general info
secreted by chief cells of parathyroid and is 84 AA long. Intraglandular degradation is control mech for intact PTH released.
43
Hypercalcemia and PTH
decreases intact PTH and favors C-term fragments
44
Hypocalcemia and PTH
Increases intact PTH and decreases C-term fragments
45
PTH and Ca sensing control
Secretion is controlled by ca-sensing receptors. Decreased Ca increases PTH secretion. If calcium is high, G proteins activated by sensor to: inhibit PKA (decreases secretion), increase PLC to IP3 which along with activation of intracell Ca pore leads to more cleavage and decreased secretion.
46
Effect of PTH
1. Increases Renal reabsorb of Ca 2. Increases bone calcium mobilization 3. Increases kidney activation of Vit D leading to increased Ca absorb in intestines
47
Actions of Vit D on bone
Acts synergistically with PTH to promote bone mobilization and has indirect stim effects on bone mineralization
48
Actions of Vit D on parathyroid gland
Feedback suppresion of PTH release | Modulates chief cell response to Ca and Vit D
49
Actions of Vit D on Kidney
Stimulates synth of calbindin for intestinal Ca grab Neg feedback on 25-hydroxycholecalciferol to 1,25 dihydroxy ...
50
Nuclear action of D3
Binds VDR in nucleus which dimerizes with RXR with CoA to attach to response element leading to transcription complex
51
Cells of endocrine pancreas
beta cells = insulin alpha cells = glucagon Both go through pancreatic vein to liver to hepatic vein to elicit responses
52
Actions of Insulin and glucagon
Insulin activated by high plasma glucose Glucagon by low plasma glucose Norm glucose is 70-110
53
Mechanism of Ins Sec
Glucose binds to Glut 2 on beta cells. Glucose enters cell and is oxidized to ATP closing K channels leading to depol of beta cells. Depol opens Ca channels leading to Insulin secretion
54
Incretin and insulin
GLP-1 Incretni activates Gs protein leading to camp to PKA to insulin secretion, similar to alpha 2 induction of insulin Blocked by epi
55
AA and endocrine pancreas
AA activates both insulin and glucagon pathways so blood glucose stays normal but insulin still promotes AA uptake
56
Insulin and Skl M and Adipocytes
Insulin recruits Glut 4 uptake of glucose in these cells
57
ADH origin
Originates in supraoptic nuclei of hypo
58
Factors that increase ADH
Increased serum osmolarity, volume contraction, pain, nausea, hypoglycemia, nicotine
59
ADH role
Increases water permeability of late distal tubule and collecting duct so more water reabsorption Constricts vascular smooth muscle
60
Control of ADH secretion
Hypothalmic osmoreceptors react to osmolarity greater than 280 mOsm Atrial stretch receptors react to decreased stretch due to low blood volume Carotid and aortic baroreceptors react to decreased blood pressure All work to synth ADH and its effect on collecting duct epi
