Endocrinology• Endo = inside or within
• Crine = Secrete
• Ology = study of
• Hormon – to excite
• Definition = Study of hormones and how they work in the body
• Hormone – a mediator molecule that gets released in one part of the body but regulates the activity of cells in other parts of the body

Functions
• Work with Nervous System to coordinate body functions
• Maintain homeostasis within the body

Hormone Facts
• Two types of glands in the body– Exocrine
• Secretes products to outside of body
– Endocrine• Ductless glands and make hormones• Secrete products inside the body
• Organs– Hypothalamus, thymus, pancreas, ovaries,
testes, kidneys, stomach, liver, small intestine, skin, heart, adipose tissue, placenta

Hormone Travels• Circulating Hormones – True Hormones
– Affect specific target cells– Stay in the blood stream
• Local Hormones - Pseudohormones– Act on neighboring cells– Do not enter the blood stream
• Paracrine – act locally, but affect cell types other than those releasing them
– Somatostatin – secreted by the pancreas – stops the release of insulin
• Autocrine – chemicals that exert their effects on the same cells that secrete them
– Prostaglandins - released by smooth muscle cells to make the smooth muscles contract

Chemical Classes of Hormones
• Lipid-soluble hormones– Dissolve in fats
• Water-soluble hormones– Dissolve in water
![Page 9: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lipid-Soluble Hormones
• Steroids– Derived from cholesterol– Cortisol, Estrogen, Testosterone, Aldosterone,
Androgens, Calcitriol, Progesterone
• Thyroid Hormones– T3 and T4
• Nitric Oxide– Hormone and neurotransmitter
![Page 10: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Water-Soluble Hormones• Amines – made by modifying amino acids
– Epinephrine and norepinephrine, melatonin, histamine, serotonin
• Peptide Hormones – chains of amino acids– Antidiuretic hormone, oxytocin, HGH, Thyroid-stimulating
hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, FSH, LH, Prolactin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone, insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, gastrin, secretin, cholecystokinin, erythropoietin, leptin
• Protein Hormones – more complex chains of amino acids – subtype of peptide hormones
• Eicosanoid – derived from a 20-carbon fatty acid– Prostaglandins– Leukotriens
![Page 11: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How Hormones work
• Lipid-Soluble – diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane and bind to receptors within target cells
• Water-Soluble – cannot diffuse through the membrane– Bind to Integral Proteins on the membrane
surface
![Page 12: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Control of Hormone Secretion
• Hormones are secreted in short bursts
• Regulated by– Signals from NS
• Hypothalamus signals the Pituitary Gland to make and realease hormones
– Chemical changes in the blood– Other hormones
![Page 13: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland
• Hypothalamus is the “Master” of the Pituitary Gland– Major link between the NS and ES– Secretes 9 hormones
• Pituitary Gland– Secretes 7 hormones– Two Lobes: Anterior and Posterior– Rests in the Sella Turcica
• Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland are connected by the INFUNDIBULUM
![Page 14: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Anterior Pituitary Hormones• Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
– Most plentiful Ant. Pituitary Hormone• Gigantism – too much HGH – typically reach 8ft• Pituitary Dwarfism – too little HGH – 4ft. or under, body is
properly proportioned
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone– Stimulates Thyroid gland to make and secrete
Thyroid Hormone which has 2 forms: T3 and T4 m• Invtrsdrd nsdsl mrysnoliv tsyr snf nofy hrsy ptofuvyion
– Released in response from TRH hormone of the Hypothalamus

Thyroid Problems• Hypothyroidism
– Underactive thyroid gland• Adults - Myxedema – low metabolism, cold, constipation,
thick/ dry skin, puffy eyes, edema, lethargy and mental sluggishness
– If myxedema is from a lack of Iodine, the thyroid gland can enlarge and protrude and become an endemic goiter
– Why salt is now IODIZED; Goiter Belt
• Infants – Cretinism – mental retardation, disproportionate body size, thick tongue and neck – might be a genetic defect of fetal thyroid or a lack of iodine in mother’s diet
– Can be prevented by hormone replacement therapy if diagnosed early enough
» Most states test newborns to check for hypothyroidism at birth
![Page 16: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Thyroid Problems
• Hyperthyroidism – overactive thyroid– Grave’s Disease – believed to be autoimmune
because people who have this disease have abnormal antibodies that mimic TSH and will stimulate the release of TH
• Increased metabolism, sweating, irregular/ rapid heart beat, nervousness, weight loss
• Signs – enlarged thyroid (goiter), exophthalmos
• Treatment – Thyroidectomy or treatment with Radioactive Iodine which will destroy most of the active thyroid cells
![Page 17: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Parathyroid Hormone
• Controls calcium balance within the blood
• Hyperparathyroidism – rare, usually happens because of a tumor –
Ca gets leached from the bones – bones will soften and deform as their mineral salts are replaced by fibrous CT – high blood Ca can suppress the nervous system and cause kidney stoes
![Page 18: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Parathyroid Hormone
• Hypoparathyroidism– Usually after some type of parathyroid trauma
or removal during thyroid surgery, extended lack of dietary Mg
• Hypocalcemia – tetany (loss of sensation, muscle twitches, convulsions)
• Untreated – symptoms progress to respiratory paralysis and death
• Was how the Parathyroid gland was discovered
![Page 19: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Anterior Pituitary Hormones• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone
– Hypothalamus – Anterior Pituitary – Testes, Ovaries
– Stimulates production of sperm and maturing of follicles (eggs)
• Luteinizing Hormone – Controlled by the hypothalamus– Stimulates secretion of estrogen and
progesterone and ovulation in females; in males it stimulates the release of testosterone
![Page 20: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Anterior Pituitary Hormones
• Prolactin– Hypothalamus secretes Releasing and
Inhibiting Hormones to control Prolactin– Makes the body recognize a pregnancy– Stimulate milk production in women
![Page 21: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Posterior Pituitary Hormones
• Oxytocin– Enhances muscle contraction during childbirth– After childbirth – stimulates milk production
and delivery of the placenta– Pitocin to induce labor – synthetic verson
• Antidiuretic Hormone or Vasopressin– Diabetes Insipidus – excessive urine and
intense thirst – results in fluid retention, headache, disorientation
![Page 22: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cushing’s Syndrome
• Excessive Cortisol in the blood stream
• Persistent hyperglycemia
• Loss in muscle and bone protein
• Water and salt retention
• Swollen “moon” face
• Redistribution of fat – buffalo hump
• Ease in bruising
![Page 23: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hypoglycemia – low blood glucose
• Stimulates the hypothalamus to release GHRH (growth-hormone-relasing-hormone) and GHRH goes to the Anterior Pituitary
• Anterior Pituitary is then stimulated to release HGH into the blood stream
• HGH – stimulates the release of insulin-like growth factors that speed up the breakdown of liver glycogen into glucose
• As a result, blood glucose rises to the normal level (90mg/100mL of blood plasma)
• An increase in blood glucose above the normal level inhibits (stops) the release of GHRH
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
![Page 24: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hyperglycemia – abnormally high blood glucose
• Stimulates the hypothalamus to secrete GHIH (Growth-hormone-inhibiting-hormone) while inhibiting the release of GHRH
• GHIH travels to the Anterior Pituitary and prevents it from releasing Growth Hormone
• Low levels of GH in the blood stream and IGFs slows down the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and glucose is released into the bloodstream more SLOWLY
• Blood glucose falls to its normal level• A decrease in the blood glucose below the normal level
inhibits the release of GHIH
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
![Page 25: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia• Genetic disorder in which a person lacks the
enzymes needed to make Cortisol
• If there is low or no cortisol, another hormone (ACTH) stimulates enlargement of the adrenal glands
• Causes Virilism– Females – masculinization – growth of a beard,
deep voice, body hair similar to male, growth of clitoris to resemble a penis, loss of breasts
– Males – same as females – over-masculinization
![Page 26: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Addison’s Disease• Cause – ACTH is blocked from it’s receptors
• Symptoms – lethargy, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, hypoglycemia, weakness, bronzed appearance to skin
• Treatment – hormone replacement and increasing sodium in diet
• JFK had this

Diabetes• Diabetes Mellitus (mell = honey sweetened)
– Inability to produce insulin– 4th leading cause of death in the US– Causes glucosuria (excessive glucose in the urine)– Key defining symptoms
• Polyuria – excessive urine production due to an inability of the kidneys to resabsorb water
• Polydipsia – excessive thirst• Polyphagia – excessive eating
– Genetic and Environmental components– 2 types – Type I and Type II
![Page 28: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Type I Diabetes – Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus
• Insulin level is low because the person’s immune system destroys the pancreatic beta cells that make the insulin
• People with this must have daily doses of insulin to prevent death
• Develops in people younger than age 20
• If not treated properly can lead to blindness and kidney disease
![Page 29: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Type II Diabetes – Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus
• Most common, 90% of all cases of diabetes
• Typically found in obese people over age 35
• Can be controlled through diet, exercise and weight loss– Can be temporary
• No shortage of insulin, rather the target cells become less sensitive to it
![Page 30: Endocrine and Lymphatic/ Immune Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56814883550346895db595d8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Gestational Diabetes• Occurs in pregnant women who may or may
not have had diabetes before the pregnancy
• Pregnancy hormones block mom’s insulin receptors from being able to absorb insulin
• Glucose can’t get absorbed properly so it is transferred to the baby– Baby grows more than it should – can lead to
marcosomia (fat baby)– Concerns for during and after birth
• Goes away immediately after giving birth
