Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH)

mech?
-released hypothalamus
-preserves feedback on pituitary
-inhibited by somatostatin
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Somatostatin
-GHIH
-SRIH
-inhibit release GH, insulin, glucagon, gastrin
-Octreotide (for diarrheas, and olther)
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

GH
-anterior pituitary
-target liver and bone
-acts like glucose first then opposite (which is stronger)
-use fat as energy source
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone GnRH
Pulsatile- up LH and FSH
Continous- block release
-analog--> Leuprolide
-for sex steriod tumors, early puberty ...
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Follicle stim. hormone
stimulate gametogenesis & spermatogenesis
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

thyroid stim. hormone
from anterior pituitary
-for thyriod carcinoma
-stim radioactive I131 uptake
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

corticotropic releasing hormone
-from hypothalamus
-negative feedback
-stim ACTH release
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Adrenalcorticotropin ACTH
-anterior pituitary
-analog--> Cosyntropin
-increase serum levels cortisol
-treat infantile seizures
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Human Chorionic gonadotropin
-similar to LH
-basis of preg test
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

human menopausal gonadotropin
-urine postmenopausal women
-mostly FSH (some LH)
Hypothalamic/ Anterior Pitu

Prolactin
anterior pituitary
-kinda looks GH
-milk production
-Prolactin inhibiting factor--> dopamine from hypothal

Bromocriptine- selective D2 agonist (down PL release)
oxytocin
-stim milk ejection
-induce labor'
-love drug?
vasopressin (ADH)
hypothalamus
-vasoconstriction
-anti-diuresis
-inhibited by cold/ethanol
-deficiency--> diabetes insipidus(high urine output)

Desmopressin acetate- agonist, 4000x V2 activit over V1
Hypothyriodism

desiccated thyroid
foreign version cause hypersensitivity
-dont know T3/T4 content
Hypothyriodism

Liothyronine
-synthetic T3
-shorter T1/2 than T4
-more side effects
-best used with T4
Hypothyriodism

Fixed Ratio (liotrix) preparations
4:1
T4:T3 mix
T3-->headaches, palp, tremor
Hypothyriodism

Levothyroxine
DOC for thyroid hormone replace
-T4, predicatble
1 week T1/2
-treat myxedema coma
-IV
Hyperthyroidism

-Propranolol
-reduce peripheral symptoms
-Bblocker which inhibits T4 to T3
vHyperthyroidism

Thionamides

-Propylthiouracil(PTU)
-Methimazole
mech-inhibit iodine ox./ inhibt thyriod peroxidase
doesnt work until previous converted T3 runs out
warning- agranulocytosis- bone marrow
-dermatological reactions

-use PTU for thyriod storms
Hyperthyriodism

Radioactive Iodine
-radioactive I131 destroys cells in thyriod
-high cure rate
-no surgery
-3-6 month for response
-not in preg
Hyperthyroidism

Anion inhibitors
-perchlorate
-thiocyanate
compete w/ I uptake to thyriod
perchlorate 10x potentcy thio
Hyperthyroidism

Iodides
-use in thyriod storm
-Lugols soln and saturated solution potassium iodide
-inhibit uptake of iodide by downregulating symporter
-should not be used monotherapy
Hyperthyroidism

Iodinated contrast media
rapidly inhibits conversion of T4 to T3 in liver, kidney, pituitary gland
-treatment for thryiod storm
Hyperthyroidism

subtotal thyroidectomy
-partial removal of gland
-difficult procedure
