TABLE 5.2 Summary of Hormonal Responses
44
What hormones are secreted from the pancreas? The pancreas has different cells that secrete hormones.
Insulin Glucagon Somatostatin
45
Does the pancreas function as an exocrine or an endocrine function?
BOTH; it dumps and secretes hormones
46
Insulin Where is it from? What does it do?
Insulin (from Beta Cell) —— Lowers blood glucose. —Anabolic hormone because it uptakes amino acids and fats
47
Glucagon
From a cell —It maintains glucose levels or increases it if needed
48
Somatostatin
from (delta cell) Inhibits hormones; Controls the rate of nutrient intake
49
What hormones come from gonads?
Testosterone and Estrogen and Progesterone
50
Testosterone
Released from testes Androgenic (aka masculinizing) Anabolic steroid ——(builds muscle)
51
Estrogen and Progesterone
Released from ovaries Establish and maintain reproductive functions. Progesterone—Catabolic Estrogen—Anabolic
52
Control of testosterone secretion IMAGE
What stimulates the secretion of testosterone? ——LH
53
Control of estrogen secretion
54
What happens if you take testosterone steroids?
Builds muscles; But the body could lose its ability to make testosterone itself.
55
Muscle as an endocrine gland: Skeletal Muscle produces ____ during contractions What does it do? What else does it stimulate that causes inflammation?
myokines 1) Stimulates glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation 2) Interleukin 6 (IL-6) Both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effect ....
56
Glycogenolysis is related to exercise intensity: Highly intensive exercise results in greater and more rapid ___ depletion levels.
glycogen
57
___ (hormone) is a powerful simulator of glycogenolysis: Highly intensive exercise results in a greater increase in ___.
epinephrine plasma epinephrine
58
Why is the breakdown of muscle glycogen under a dual (redundant) control?
Because glucose levels are so important to the body. In life or death. So your body has multiple systems to make sure it happens
59
redundant control of glycogenolysis: What are the 2 systems for glucose breakdown? What stimulates glycogen breakdown?
Epinephrine —stimulates glycogen breakdown Ca++ Calmodulin —stimulates glycogen breakdown —Enhanced during exercise due to Ca++ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum
60
Know the graph of redundant control of glycogenolysis
1. Epinephrine—Cycle AMP 2. Ca++ — Calmodulin
61
What happens if you don't replace glucose as you exercise?
You will become Hypoglycemic because blood glucose levels drop. You become weak and stop exercising. * Yes, you have fat, but you don't have blood glucose as fuel for your brain.*
62
Blood glucose homeostasis during exercise: What are the 4 processes that plasma glucose if maintained? where do you get the glucose from so glucose lvls aren't depleted?
1. Mobilization of Glucose from the liver store 2. Mobilization of FFA from adipose tissue – (has some blood glucose) 3. Glucogenesis –from amino acids, lactate, and glycerol. 4. Blocking the entry of glucose into cells — forces use of FFA as fuels
63
What are glucose homeostasis systems controlled by?
Controlled by permissive or slow-acting hormones
64
What is Glucogenesis?
Formation of new blood sugar! Turns amino acids, lactate, and glycerol into glucose It maintains plasma glucose.
65
(Active?) hormones from blood glucose homeostasis: Thyroid hormones How do hormone levels change during exercise?
THYROXINE T3 and T4 don't really change during exercise because there's an increased clearance, followed by an increase in TSH. They are permissive hormones.
66
Slow-acting hormones from blood glucose homeostasis: Cortisol What does it do? What does cortisol respond to? When you exercise, do you increase or decrease cortisol levels?
What does it do? Catabolic 1. FFA Mobilization for fuel 2. Enahnces gluconeogenesis at the expense of protein (Breaks down protein) 3. Decreases rate of glucose utilization by cells a. Stop glucose from being used b. It will block the entry of glucose Cortisol increases under stress. Which means it increases during exercise. (Highest levels in the morning.)
67
What's the difference between slow-acting hormones?
Passive hormones —Permissive —allows other hormones to be more active (and work more effectively) —Thyroxine, cortisol, and growth hormone Active hormones —Epinephrine, norepinephrine, insulin, and glucagon
68
Growth Hormone A fast or slow-acting hormone? Effects on CHO Metabolism? Exercise effect?
Slow Acting Hormone —anabolic (build) Effects: Supports actions of cortisol: —Decreases glucose uptake by tissues — Increases free fatty acid mobilization — Enhances gluconeogenesis in the liver Exercise effect: Increases plasma GH with increased intensity (greater in trained runners)
69
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine Passive or active? Where does it come from? What do they do?
Fight or Flight Fast-acting hormones Catecholamines from the adrenal medulla Effect: Maintain blood glucose during exercise 1. Increase muscle and liver glucose mobilization from glycogen 2. Increase FFA mobilization 3. Interfere with glucose uptake
70
If your heart rate spikes, so does your blood pressure. Why?
Because of Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
71
If you exercise submaximally, then your Plasma Epinephrine and Norepinephrine levels with ___ during exercise
decreases
72
At supramaximal exercise in trained individuals, you will increase ___ Epinephrine and Norepinephrine levels during exercise
increased
73
What are counter-regulatory hormones? Hormones that oppose each other? Where are they from? Fast or slow?
Insulin and glucagon from panceratic FAST
74
What is Glucagon? What is the effect on the blood on trained vs. untrained people? Fast or slow?
Effect —Mobilizes glucose and FFA. —Plasma concentration increases during exercise — Decreased response following training Slide 50
75
What is Insulin? What is the effect on the blood on trained vs. untrained people? Fast or slow?
Effect —Uptake and storage of glucose and FFA —Plasma concentration decreases during exercise —Decreased insulin response following training
76
Do you need insulin when you exercise?
NO
77
What is the glucose and insulin ratio after a meal?
Absorption of a meal: 1. Inlsin is secreted (which decreases blood glucose) 2. Insulin goes up, glucagon goes down 3. Wants to store glycogen, fat, and protein.
78
What is the glucose and insulin ratio During Fasting for exercise?
During Fasting for exercise 1. Glucagon levels increase 2. Break down glucose for energy (Hydrolysis)
79
What is the Effect of epinephrine/norepinephrine on insulin and glucagon secretion
80
What is the Effect of the sympathetic nervous system on substrate mobilization?
They all work to elevate your blood levels to a normal level.
81
During exercise, which hormones increase or decrease?
Increase: —Epinephrine and Norepinephrine —Growth hormone —Cortisol —Glucagon Decrease: —Insulin
82
Why is FFA mobilization prevented during heavy exercise?
1. Relying on fast glycolysis means you have high levels of lactate, which promotes the resynthesis of triglycerides. (It is promoting fat synthesis instead of fat breakdown) 2. Elevated H+, which inhibits HSL (You become more acidic, so it decreases the activity of proteins) 3. Reduced blood supply, which reduces FFA Transport. (HIgh exercise forces blood out of the muscle/area.) 4. Inadequate albumin levels reduce FFA transport (Ablumin helps transport fat. and when that is reduced, you can't use it as a fuel source)
