Think growth factors.
Insulin, IGF-1, FGF, PDGF
Which hormones use receptor-assoc Tyr kinase (Jak/Stat pathway) as signaling pathway?
GH, prolactin, IL-2
Why are steroid hormones/thyroid hormones slow acting?
Activate transcription factors, have to go through whole protein syn process!
What are the 4 fxn of thyroid hormone?
"4 B's"
Brain maturation
Bone growth (works with GH)
Beta-adrenergic effects (increase HR, contractility, gluconeo, lipolysis, glycogenolysis)
Basal metabolic rate
How is thyroid hormone synthesized?
Iodide goes into follicular cell from blood, oxidation and binding to thyroglobulin (MIT, DIT) by peroxidase, proteolysis back in cell, out to blood.

**TG comes from Tyrosine
What do anions like perchlorate and pertechnetate do to thyroid hormone syn?
inhibit, compete with I to get into cell, can be used to tone down radioactive iodine ablation results
Which divisions of the adrenals does Addison's affect?
