  • asdfasdf
22
Q

cortisol functions

A

bound to corticosteroid-binding globulin

BIGFIB

  • blood pressure INCREASE
    • upreg alpha1 receptors and increases sensitivity to NE/epi
    • high conc? bind MC receptors (ex. glycerrhetic acid blocking degradation of cortisol to cortisone!)
  • insulin resistance INCREASE (no anabolism)
  • gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, proteolysis INCREASE(catabolism instead)
  • fibroblast activity DECREASE
    • striae
  • inflammation, immune response DECREASE
    • inhibits prod of leukotrines, prostaglandins
    • impairs WBC adhesion - neutrophilia
    • blocks histamine release from mast cells
    • reduction in eosinophils
    • blocks IL2 prod
  • bone formation DECREASE
    • decr osteoblast activity
23
Q

functions of T3

A

most TH is T4, converted by 5’ deiodinase to T3

4Bs

  • bone growth
  • brain maturation
  • beta adrenergic effects
    • (increases B1 receptors in heart)
  • basal metabolic rate INCREASE
    • incr Na/K ATPase activity, increased catabolism to keep it running
