Which (T3 or T4) has a high affinity for the thyroid hormone rececptor
T3 has a high affinity for the TH receptor
MIT + DIT = ?
T3
DIT + DIT = ?
T4
what enzyme adds iodine to the tyrosine residues in thyroglobulin to creat MIT and DIT on the apical membrane
Thyroperoxidase
What enzyme catalyzes the joining of MIT and DIT
thyroperoxidase
Where does the H2O2 come from that is needed for attachment of iodine to the thyroglobulin?
Thyroid oxidase
Where is iodine stored in the tyroid
Iodine is brought into the colloid via a Na+ symporter and stored in the colloid
D1, D2, and D3 deiodinases are involved in activating what
removal of an iodine from T4 to make T3

they can also inactivate T3/T4 by removing it down to T2
T3 and T4 circulate bound to what
Thyroxin Binding Globule, Transthretin, and Albumin

All are produced in liver
Problem with the liver could lead to what
Circulating concentration of Thyroid hormone because the transport proteins for TH are made in the liver
Majority of TH is bound or free?
Bound

Free is the active form
Out line the release of TH
Hypothalamus produces TRH onto the pituitary which releases TSH onto the Thyroid

Thyroid produces T3 and T4
Define the feedback for the thyroid
T3 and T4 feedback to both the pituitary and to the hypothalamus to down regulate or up regulate the thyroid production
What disease is associated with Hyperthyroidism?
Graves disease = autoimmune

TSH receptor Ab's stimulate thyroid gland
What disease is associated with hypothyroidism?
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (autoimmue)

Ab's against thyroid cells
PTH is secreted in response to ?
decreased ionic [Ca2+]
How is PTH secreted
secreted as a preprohormone
Ca2+ inhibits the release of PTH from:
Cheif cells
what happens when Ca2+ concentration decreases?
you have decreased binding of Ca2+ to its receptor on the parathyroid cells.

When bound this Ca2+ acts as an inhibitor.

Decreased [ ] = removal of this inhibitor signal = PTH secreted
What does PTH do and what structures does it target
goal is to increase Ca2+ [ ] in the blood

Targets Bones, Kidney, & GI
What effect does PTH have on the kidney
increases reabsorption of Ca2+

decreases Phos reabsorption

Activated 1alpha hydroxylase
=increases vitamin D production

decreases bicarb reabsorption
What effect does this stimulation of 1alpha hydroxylase have?
increased active vitamin D indirectly enhances the absorption of Ca2+ in the GI
Are there PTH receptors on osteoclasts?
No just on the osteoblasts

this works indirectly by stimulating molecules which streamline the osteoclast precursor into full fledged osteoclasts.
