Q

Difference between Cushing’s syndrome and Cushing’s disease

A

Cushing’s syndrome: general term for chronic excessive and inappropriate elevated levels of circulating CORTISOL

Proportion in blood? Bound to?
Effects of cortisol (6)
A

Hypothalamus releases corticotrophin releasing hormone.

Q

ACROMEGALY BACKGROUND
Feedback mechanisms on GH?
Two groupings for GH effects? Examples?

A

Indirect: via IGF-1
increased metabolism, increased cell division and differentiation, prevents cell death
