What hormones does the hypothalamus produce?
Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)
Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH)
Growth-hormone releasing hromone (GRHR)
Gonadotropin releasing hormone
Somatostatin

These go to the anterior pituitary
How does the posterior pituitary gland work? What hormnes does it release?
Neuroendocrine
Antidiruectic hormone (ADH or vasopressin)
Oxytocin
Hormones of anterior pituitary
Growth hormone
Thyroid stimulating hormone
FSH and LH
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
Where is somatostatin released from and what does it do?
Anterior pituitary
Inhibits GH and TSH from Ant pituitary gland
Hormones of the adrenal cortex. How are they stimulated?
Mineral corticoids (aldosterone)
Glucocorticoids (Cortisol)
Androgens (DHEA)

Stimulated by ACTH from anterior pituitary
Function of aldosterone (mineralcorticoid)
Released from adrenal cortex
Cause kidney to reabsorb Na+ and thus water to increase BP
Function of vasopressin (ADH)
Released from pos pituitary
Reabsorb water from kidneys
Hormones of the thyroid gland
Triiodthyronine (T3)
Thryroxine (T4)
Calcitonin
Hormones of the pancreas
Insulin
Glucagon
Somatostatin
Function of somatostatin in pancreas
Acts locally to depress secretion of both insulin and glycogen
Decreases motility and absorption of GI
What are type I diabetics especially prone to?
Ketoacidosis
Ketones are by products of fat metabolism
What is Metabolic Syndrome and what are the risk factors assocaited
Heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes
Abdominal obesity
150 mg/dL or greater TGs
HDL < 40 mg/dL
BP >130/85
Fasting glucose >110 mg/dL

polyuria
polydipsia
polyphagia (excess hunger)
Complications of DM
Microvascular dx (retinopathy, renal dx)
Macrovascular dx (CVA, MI)
MSK impairments (contractures, osteoporosis)
NM impairments (stocking and glove distribution, motor weakness)
Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN: resting tach, abnormal BP/HR)
Diagnosis for DM
>200 mg/dL "casual" test
100-126 fasting = pre-DM
>126 = DM
What blood glucose is contraindicated for ex?
<70 mg/dL
>300 mg/dL
s/s of hyperglycemia
Frequent, scant urination
Dec appetite, n/v, abdominal tenderness
Parestehsias
Flushed
Deep rapid respirations
rapid, weak pulse
Acetone breath (fruity)
Hyperglycemic coma)
Ex prescription for DM
50-80% VO2 max, 3-4x/week, 20-60 min

RT: one set, 10-20 reps, at least 2x/week
When should pt eat prior to exercising?
within 2 hours of eating

Don't ex if they haven't eaten in last 2 hours
Ex and DM with:
CV disease
Retinopathy
Nueropathy
Autonomic neuropathy
Nephropathy
CV dx: use RPE
Retinopathy: avoid activites that inc BP >170, no pounding or jarring
Neuropathy: limit WB ex due to balance isues
Autonomic: monitor for s/s of silent ischemia due to pt's inability to perceive angina
Nephropathy: low to mod intensities
ACSM guidelines for ex of obese pt
Start moderate: 40-60% HRR
5-7 days/week
45-60 minutes/day

(diagnosed based on inc TSH)
Atrophy of thyroid gland
Hashimoto's dx (autoimmune)
symptoms of hypothyroidism?
Weight gain
Mental/physical lethargy
Low BP
Goiter
Myxedema: swlling of hands, feet, face that can lead to coma and death
Ex considerations for hypothyroidism
Ex intolerance
Weakness and apathy
Ex-induced malgia
Reduced CO

Pt often has cold intolerance, peripheral neuropathy, and proximal weakness
Disease of hyperthroidism
s/s
Grave's
nervousness, hyperreflexia, tremor, hunger, weight loss, fatigue, palpiatations, tachycardia
Antithryoid durgs or radioactive iodine
ex considerations for Grave's
ex intolerance
fatigue is associated with hypermetaboic state
