(71 cards)
Structure of a hormone dictates
site receptor and mechanism of actions
Hormones can be (3):
Proteins, lipids, monoamines
Water soluble hormones include:
Protein hormones (can be large or small) and catecholamines (DP,NE,A)
Lipid soluble includes
Steroids, thyroid hormones, eicosanoids
All steroids originate from cholesterol and originate from (3):
Adrenal cortex
Ovaries
Testes
Thyroid hormones begin from ___ and are not ___.
Tyrosine, steroids
Eicosanoids are
Arachonodic acid product
Catecholamines begin with
Tyrosine
Protein hormones are stored after synthesis in
Small granules (secretory granules) and structures close to the cell membrane
Protein hormones flow from
Prehormone, prohormone (synthesis), pro hormone to hormone (packaging), storage as hormone and secretion as hormone and any “pro” hormone
Steroid hormones are not ___ and are made on demand.
Stored
Steroid hormones occurs when the cell makes cholesterol (triggered by another molecule) and depends on the concentration of ___ that dictate what hormone is made.
Enzyme
Steroid hormones will __ out of the cell membrane and work on target cells by moving through the bloodstream by binding to a —- protein.
Diffuse, plasma (globulin, plasma protein)
Steroid hormones and thyroid hormones are typically bound to
Plasma proteins
Peptide hormones are ___ soluble
Water
Hormones depend if it is freely —- and is based on their transport.
available
Hormones can be activated by synthesis and ___. It can also be inactivated by metabolisms to be less active or ___.
Secretion, more
Hormones will first act to bind to ___ and then post-receptor events (cell ___) will occur. The cell will then respond to the hormone and lead to cellular ___.
signalling, changes
Steroid hormones will have ___ effect on the cell it acts on.
longer
Some hormones like testosterone will not function in some tissue and thus must be ___ to function.
converted
For each specific hormone, a ___ should ___ recognize and bind to the hormone.
receptor, selectively
Binding of hormone and receptor help in ___-____ complex formation and leads to changes in target cell ____.
hormone- receptor, responses
Cell surface receptors are used by (2):
protein hormones
catcholamines
Intracellular receptors are ones that bind to:
thyroid hormones
steroid
