Front 6

Although our patient is only in her 30's, Cushing syndrome places her at increased risk for what condition that is normally found in people much older?

Back 6

Osteoporosis

Front 7

BP is carefully monitored in patients with Cushing syndrome who take steroids because steroids can cause hypertension due to their propensity to cause:

Name the 3 types of steroid hormones

Back 11

Glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralcorticoids (aldosterone), and sex steroids (androgens)

Front 12

Enzymes that attach phosphates (phosphorylation) to target proteins to change their activity (Many are involved in second messenger hormone action).

Back 12

Kinases

Front 13

The primary source of energy for muscle tissue in the gasting or resting state is?

Back 13

Front 14

This circulating thyroid hormone must be converted to its active form to be biologically active.

Back 14

Front 16

Lipid-soluble hormones, like thyroid hormone, must be attached to these to be transported in the blood

Back 16

proteins

Front 17
