Q

most circulating testosterone is bound to…

A

SHBG= sex hormone binding globulin( which has hepatic origin)

24
describe the 2 things where you see an increase in GH
in kids= gigantism--> due to open long bone epiphyses in adults= acromegaly= abnormal growth of tissue esp. CT --> leads to metabolic abnormalities and cardiac dysfunction
25
what are the 2 groups of hypothalamic hormones
1. GnRH agonists | 2. GnRH antagonists
26
what are the GnRH agonists
1. leuprolide | 2. -relins
27
what are the 2 ways you can administer a GnRH agonist
1. pulsatile= for replacement therapy--> for infertility or delayed puberty 2. continuous= for suppression--> - endometriosis - uterine fibroid - prostate cancer - early puberty
28
what do you see when you administer a GnRH agonist
FLARE UP 1st 7-10 days= agonist effect 2nd= flare up= increase in gonadal hormone 3rd= desensitization/inhibitory effect--> decrease in gonadal hormone
29
what is the bonus of using a GnRH antagonist
1. no flare up | 2. rapid onset of effects
30
what are the GnRH antagonists
- relix 1. gani-relix 2. ceto-relix 3. aba-relix 4. dega-relix
31
the anterior pituitary secretes what 3 hormones
1. GH 2. FSH/LH 3. Prolactin
32
what is the GH agonist
somatropin
33
what is the GH antagonist
somatotropin 1. octreotide 2. lanreotide
34
GH antagonists lower which hormones and how does this affect their uses?
1. GH 2. glucagon 3. insulin 4. gastrin can be used for hormone secreting tumor or BLEEDING ESOPHAGEAL VARICES
35
Name the FSH/LH hormones
``` mixed= menotropin FSH= uroFollitropin LH= Lutropin= recombinant form--> almost identical to hcG ``` ***first 2= used for infertility
36
what 2 hormones does the posterior pituitary release
1. oxytocin--> alters transmembrane ion channels--> induces labor 2. Vasopressin/ADH
37
the purpose of ADH agonists and what they target
1. 8-L-arginine vasopression= V1 blocker (blood vessels)--> BLEEDING ESOPHAGEAL VARICES 2. Desmopressin= V2 blocker (primary cells/ principal cells of collecting ducts--> DOC for central diabetes insipidus
38
what is the DOC for central diabetes insipidus (ADH insufficiency)
ADH agonist= retain H20 and constricts blood vessels
39
what are the ADH/vasopressin antagonists
1. conivaptan--> V1 and V2 2. Tolvaptan--> V2 blocker - for euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia - SIADH
40
side effects of GH antagonists
1. biliary sludge and gallstones 2. sinus bradycardia alt for acromegaly= PEGVISOMANT
41
prolactin is the primary hormone responsible for lactation and is inhibited by
hypothalamus releases DOPAMINE--> inhibits prolactin
42
a prolactin antagonist=
dopamine agonist= 1. bromocriptine--> for acromegaly 2. cabergoline--> for hyper-prolactinemia
43
what causes hyperprolactinemia
1. antipsychotics which are dopamine receptor blockers--> they inhibit dopamine= no inhibition of prolactin production 2. benign prolactinoma
44
SE of hyperprolactinemia
females--> - ovulations= menstrual irregularities - amenorrhea= no periods - galactorrhea= leaky nipples men - decreased libido - gynecomastia= man boobs
45
what blocks oxytocin
1. Beta blockers 2. magnesium sulfate 3. inhaled anesthetics
46
what enzyme is used to produce T4 and T3 in thryoglobulins
thyroid peroxidase
47
purpose of TH in kids and adults
kids--> normal development--> esp CNS | adults--> maintain metabolic homeostasis
48
which TH is more active
T3 T4--> T3 via deiodinase enzymes
49
T3 and T4 are highly bound to
thyroxine binding globulin if bound--> they are not active
50
high concentrations of iodide can prevent
TH release
51
what is a thyroid storm and how do you treat it
life-threatening complication of hyperthyroidism ``` give PTU (propylthiouracil) +iodates in high doses control tachyarrhythmia with B blockes or Ca channel blockers supportive therapy= dexamethasone (long acting corticosteroid) ```
52
radioactive iodine= DOC
for Graves Disease cannot give in pregnant women or younger patients
53
adenohypophysis releases
TSH= thyrotropin stimulating hormone--> causes the TRH from the thyroid gland
54
what do you give for hypothyroidism
1. desicated thyroid= T3 and T4 2. levothyroxine= T4= DOC for hypothyroidism 3. Livothyronine= T3
55
what is the DOC for hypothyroidism
levothyroxine= T4--> low cost and long T1/2
56
treatment for hyperthyroidism
1. remove thyroid gland 2. local radiation with radioactive iodine--> DOC for Graves' disease 3. antithyroid agent
57
what is the DOC for Graves' disease (diffuse toxic goiter)
radioactive iodine
58
what are the 2 anti-thyroid agents
1. PTU=propyl-thio-uracil--> DOC for thyroid storm | 2. methimazole
59
what are the side effects of the anti-thyroid agents
1. agranulocytosis= low WBC 2. BM aplasia can cross placenta and get secreted in mothers milk
