[HORMONES] what is hormone?
physiology communications
There are variaties of Hormones? name some
*steroid -- derived from cholesterol
*protein hormones or peptide
*Amines -- amno acid
*Prostaglandins-- dervied from fatty acid
Hormone are produce from the _____
Endocrine glands
Decribes the pathway of how hormone produce a specific celluar response
H-----> HR-----> Cellular response

H binds to receptor proteins (sensors) produced by the target cell---> there's a molecular change---> receptor becomes activated and interact w/ other cellular components----> cellular response
Hormone response is seletive. What does all the hormones have in common?
They bind to recptor cause a change and induce the response in a cell
When hormone goes to the blood it is called an _____ pathway
endocrine
What is the Paracrine pathway?
Sometimes neighboring cells produce hormone that does not go through the blood that also bind to receptors and mediate change to response
what is the Autocrine pathway
Cell can make thier own hormone

ex: Cancer cell can make thier own hormone.
Selectivity/specificity of hormone respnse is due to: (4)
1. Hormone type
2. Presence of receptor in targets
3. Hormone receptor Affinity
4. receptor interaction w/ cell components (causing changes in modification)
What is the key role of Hormone?
Control Homeostasis-- "steady state" condition

**this means that there is a dynamic set of conditions--- that you respond to changes in the environment
How do hormone control homeostasis?
*negative and postive feedback system
What is negative feedback?
change in variable triggers mechanism that reverses the change

**The variable is maintained w/in a physiologically appropriate range.
Give an example of when there's a negative feedback.
when there are too many hormones affecting the tissue--> there's a negative feedback, telling it to stop. And when Hormone is low hormone incr. again.
what is positive feedback?
change in variable that triggers biological mechanisms that amplify rather than reverse the change
Stress-- does the flight or fight response have a negative pathway?
no
Short term Stress doesn't go through blood stream instead it goes to the _____
hypothalmus
Give the pathway of shortterm/acute stress

What feedback system is it?
stress---> Hypothalmus ---> nerve cord---> spinal cord----> Adrenal gland-----> convert tyrosin to Epinephrine (hormone)---> immediate effect create metabolic increase (alertness and energy)

*no real feedback system
Give the pathway of long term stress.

Is it positive or negative feedbacvk?
Where does it inhibits if its a negative feedback?
stress---> hypothamus---> release CRF (corticotrophine Releasing factor) hormone (found in the blood)----> bind to Anterior pituitary gland (target cell)---> release ACTH (adrenal corticotrophic Hormone)---> binds to receptor in adrenal gland----> changes convert cholesterol to glucocorticoids---> produce anti-inflamatory immune effects.

**Negative feedback when too much glucocorticoids is produced. It goes back to the Hypothalmus and anterior pituatory gland (telling it to stop making CRF and ACTH).
is contraction during labor a negative or pos feedback
positive feedback

*release oxytocin hormones
What is Hormone Agonists?
binds receptor and induces a response

H--> R--> HR---> response
Hormone antagonist
binds to receptor w/ no resulting response, instead inhibits actions of agonist.
Steroid Hormone: name some of them we learned in lecture (5)
1. Glucocorticoids
2. Mineralcorticoid
3. Progestines
4. Androgens
5. Estrogens
Give the steroid hormone signal transduction pathway
STEROIDS goes inot the plasma membrane ---> binds to (steriod) receptors---> receptors activated---> then bind to a promoter gene (target gene)---> interacts w/ transcription factor---> changes level of transcription (up or down)

**promoter gene has a specific binding site---> this site is nex to a transcription factors
What are the three classic steroid receptor function domain?
1. Steroid binding
2. DNA binding
3. Protein binding

**if you have a defect in any of these domain you can have a physiology disorder
steroid hormone are secreted by
adrenal cortex
ovaries
testes
placenta
What are some Anterior Pituitary Hormones we learned in class?
**Growth hormones
**follicle--stimulating hormnes
**Prolactin
what is prolactin?
promotes development of the breast and secretion of milk
[posterior pituitary hormones] give some examples
**Antidiuretic hormone
**oxytocin
antidiuretci hormone
causes the kidneys to retain water, hus incr. water content of the body
oxytocin
contracts the uterus during the birthing process
[adrenal cortex] give example
Cortisol
Cortisol
has multiple metabolic functions for control of the metabolism of proteins, carb, and fats
[Ovaries] hormones in ovaries
estrogens
progesterone
estrogen
stimulate the development of the female sex organs, the breasts, and various secondary sexual characteristics
progesterone
stimulates secretion of "uterine milk"
[Testes] what are the hormones produce here
testosterone
testosterone
stimulates growth of the male sex organs
[Placenta] hormone produces here
estrogens
progesterone
Mechanism of Protien Hormone or Cell surface receptors (they are steroids and have similar pathway). Give the pathway:
**Cell surface

protein hormone binds to receptor in the extracellular domain---> goes through the transmembrane domain (PM)----> intracellular domain---> changes occur---> response
When the protein hormone binds to receptor you can have two changes, what are they?
1. Receptor dimer/cluster (e.g insulin)
or
2. changes in receptor-- protein interaction
The signalings events of receptors change can be
*Receptors phosphorlation
*Receptors protein interaction
*Enzyme activated, 2ndary messenger, lipid, ect.
