Hyp/pit axis feedback
ultimate homones send negative feedback to hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
Hypothalamus releasing hormones
TRH (to release TSH), GnRH (to release LH and FSH), GRH(to release GH/somatostatin), GIH(inhibit somatostatin release), CRH (stimulated by angiotensin II, to release ACTH), PRF (prolactin), PIF(inhibit lactotrope release of prolactin)
GH
growth hormone, anterior pit, long bone growth
FSH
Follicle stimulating hormone, acts on Sertoli cells of seminiferous tubule--> increase proteins in sperm; in ovarian follicles--> maturation of ovum and production of estradiol
TSH
Thyrotropin, go to follicle cells of thyroid gland, release T4 and T3
ACTH
to adrenal cortex-->make corticosteroids
LH
Lutinizing hormone, Leydig cells of testes--> up testosterone syn and release; and on corpus luteum of ovarys--> up progesterone production and release
Prolactin
milk production in mammary glands
Beta-endorphin
acts on cells and neurons to produce analgestic effects (binds to opiate receptors)
MSH
melanocyte-stimulating hormone, skin cells for dispersion of melanin (skin darkening)
Oxytocin
From posterior pituitary, uterine contractions and mild letdown
ADH
posterior pituitary to kidneys--> water retention
control of GH secretion
release in anterior pit from stimulation by GRH- growth hormone releasing hormone and somatostatin (GIH)
(IGF-1 is what works on periphery)
GH secretion stimulators
hypoglycemia, stress, ghrelin (releasing factor from GI), Amino acids
[dose dependent DECREASE in fat and INCREASE in muscle and bone]
GI secretion inhibitors
glucose, IGF-1(insulin like growth factor), free fatty acids
Laron dwarfism
GH deficiency/inactivity b/c mutation in gene or GH binding protein gene
Tx: with synthetic GH
Acromegaly
hypersomatropism- too much GH; bigger jaw, finger, tufting and calcification in terminal phalanges
