Thyroid hormone› Major metabolic hormone› Composed of two active iodine-containing
hormones Thyroxine (T4)—secreted by thyroid follicles
Triiodothyronine (T3)—conversion of T4 at target tissues

Thyroid hormone disorders› Goiters
Thyroid gland enlarges due to lack of iodine Salt is iodized to prevent goiters
› Cretinism Caused by hyposecretion of thyroxine Results in dwarfism during childhood

Adrenal cortex disorders› Addison’s disease
Results from hyposecretion of all adrenal cortex hormones
Bronze skin tone, muscles are weak, burnout, susceptibility to infection
› Hyperaldosteronism May result from an ACTH-releasing tumor Excess water and sodium are retained
leading to high blood pressure and edema

Adrenal cortex disorders› Cushing’s syndrome
Results from a tumor in the middle cortical area of the adrenal cortex
“Moon face,” “buffalo hump” on the upper back, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, weakening of bones, depression
› Masculinization Results from hypersecretion of sex hormones Beard and male distribution of hair growth

The pancreas is a mixed gland and has both endocrine and exocrine functions
The pancreatic islets produce hormones› Insulin—allows glucose to cross plasma
membranes into cells from beta cells› Glucagon—allows glucose to enter the
blood from alpha cells› These hormones are antagonists that
maintain blood sugar homeostasis

Produces hormones that maintain the pregnancy
Some hormones play a part in the delivery of the baby
Produces human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in addition to estrogen, progesterone, and other hormones

Most endocrine organs operate smoothly until old age› Menopause is brought about by lack of
efficiency of the ovaries› Problems associated with reduced estrogen
are common› Growth hormone production declines with
age› Many endocrine glands decrease output
with age
