Q

___ is the precursor for thyroid hormones

A

thyroglobulin

a protein hormone (a glycoproteins made by two subunits)

made by the ER and the Golgi → stored in colloid

>100 tyrosyl residues; 25-30 get iodinated; 4-8 end up in T3 and T4

T3 and T4 are synthesized by iodination of tyrosyl residues that are part of thyroglobulin

T3 and T4 remain part of thyroglobulin until secreted into blood

Q

how does iodide turn into I2

A

I(thyroid peroxidase + hydrogen peroxide) → nascent iodine/ I2

I is oxidized into I2

occurs at the apical membrane of thyroid cell (near colloid)

this reaction is inhibited by anti-thyroid drugs and too much iodide

Q

how are T3 and T4 released from the thyroglobulin

A

T3 and T4 are stuck of thyroglobulin in colloid

this is eaten by follicular cell and broken down by lysosomal and enzymes

T3 and T4 is then released

MIT and DIT have their I recycled to be used to make more thyroglobulins

Q

how is T3 and T4 made and released

A

I taking into cell by Na/I co-transporter

I is oxidized into I2

I2 is used to turn Tyrosyl into MIT and DIT (iodination- MIT has one I, DIT has 2 I)

coupling results in T3 and T4 and alanine (DIT + DIT→ T4 and alanine. MIT + DIT → T3 and alanine)

DIT, MIT, T3 and T4 all stuck together on thyroglobulin in the colloid

this is taken up and broken down by lysosomal enzymes

T3 and T4 transported out of cell

DIT and MIT have their I cleaved to be reused

Q

___ will inhibit pituitary secretion of TSH

23
Q

____ binds to T3 and T4 in the blood and lasts for 5 days

A

thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG)

(a type of thyroid hormone binding protein made by the liver)

highest affinity for T3 and T4

most T3 and T4 bound to TBG

half-life – 5 days

24
Q

___ is specific for T4 in the blood

A

thyroxine-binding prealbumin

(a type of thyroid hormone binding protein made by the liver)

specific for T4

intermediate affinity and capacity

half-life – 2 days

25
\_\_\_ binds to T3 and T4 and lasts 13 days
**_albumin_** (a type of thyroid hormone binding protein made by the liver) lowest affinity for T3 and T4 high capacity due to its abundance in blood half-life – 13 days
26
what turns T4 into T3
**5' deiodinase** overfeeding stimulates this illness and fasting inhibits this
27
where is the receptor for T3
in the nucleus → will result in transcription of genes
28
if you have a high Basal metabolic rate, you have ___ thyroid hormones
high
29
effects of thyroid hormone
1. catabolic hormone: _i_**_ncreases basal metabolic rate_** 2. **increases the metabolism** of almost all active tissues 3. increases the number and activity of mitochondria → **increases amount of ATP** 4. increases membrane-bound **Na+-K+ ATPase activity** (because there is more ATP available -- **increased heat production** 5.stimulation of carbohydrate metabolism **increases Glucose uptake**, glycolysis, and gluconeogenesis 6.stimulation of fat metabolism **increases free fatty acids** concentration in the blood. **decreases cholesterol & phospholipid** concentrations in the blood
30
why does blood cholesterol decrease with thyroid hormone
thyroid stimulates LDL will cause cholesterol to be taken up into the cell
31
why will thyroid increase heat production
causes more mitochondria→ more ATP = more activity of Na/K ATPase pump → more heat
32
what are some other effects of thyroid hormone
7. increased cardiac output, heart rate & strength 8. increased respiration, gastrointestinal motility and secretion 9. excitation of central nervous system 10. essential for growth 11. essential for development of brain
33
how will thyroid effect HR
hypo- decreased HR hyper- increased HR
34
hypo or hyper thyroidism causes constipation
hypo hyper thyroid leads to increase in GI motility → diarrhea
35
thyroid is essential for development of the \_\_\_
brain
36
hyperthyroidism
increased metabolism → weight loss intolerant of heat very anxious → increased sympathetic innervation diarrhea → increased GI mobility always hungry but never gaining weight
37
hypothyroidism
lethargic weight gain- slow metabolism cold intolerance constipation
38
if you inject thyroxine what happens
slow onset and long duration
39
TSH
_Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH or thyrotropin)_ 1. TSH is a glycoprotein **(protein hormone)** 2. increased activity of the i**odide pump** 3. increased **iodination** of tyrosine 4. increased **secretory activity** of thyroid cells 5. increased proteolysis of thyroglobulin 6. increased **number and size of thyroid cells**
40
how does TSH work on thyroid
TSH is a protein hormone made by the anterior pituitary binds to surface of follicular cell and causes release of cAMP to act as second messenger
41
TRH
_Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus_ 1. TRH is a tripeptide amide – pyroglutamyl-histidyl-proline amide **(peptide hormone)** 2. binds to TRH receptors in the pituitary cell membrane 3. activates the **phospholipase second messenger system** 4. stimulates pituitary secretion of TSH
42
TRH uses ___ second messenger system
phospholipase (Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus)
43
negative feedback regulation of hypothalamopituitary- thyroid axis
44
what happens to TSH if there is no iodide?
increases I is needed to make T3 and T4 to turn off TSH, no I means no T3 and no T4 results in free hormones, endemic goiter (hypothyroidism), TSI (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin) (hyperthyroidism
45
goiter is caused by
**lack of iodide in the diet** **hypothyroidism** I is needed to make T3 and T4 to turn off TSH, no I means no T3 and no T4
46
TSI
TSI (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin) binds to TSH receptors on thyroid glands and stimulates thyroid to make T3 and T4 → **hyperthyroidism** **no feed back control** **treated by removing thyroid gland**
47
what happens to thyroid hormone synthesis with stress
decreases stress inhibits hypothalamus
48
\_\_\_\_ decrease iodide trapping and causes a goiter
Thiocyanate ions (an anti-thyroid substance)
49
\_\_\_ inhibits the peroxidase enzyme and causes a goiter
1.Propylthiouracil (an anti-thyroid substance)
50
\_\_\_ decrease all phases of thyroid activity and decrease thyroid gland size.
1.Iodide in high concentration (100x)
51
Hyperthyroidism is a common disease of middle-older aged cats. What would the major clinical signs be?
increased metabolism → weight loss intolerant of heat very anxious → increased sympathetic innervation diarrhea → increased GI mobility always hungry but never gaining weight exhausted easily
52
. Hypothyroidism is a common disease of adult dogs. What would the major clinical signs be?
lethargic weight gain- slow metabolism cold intolerance constipation
53
What is the best way to diagnose hyperthyroidism in cats?
T4 and TSH blood tests: High T4, low TSH.
54
What is the best way to diagnose hypothyroidism in dogs?
T4 and TSH blood tests: Low T4, high TSH.
