Chapter 11 the Endocrine System Neurotransmitter from a Nerve Cell Chapter 11 The endocrine system Neurotransmitter from a nerve cell Nerve cell Nerve signals Neurotransmitter molecules Nerve cell / muscle cell / gland cell Hormone from an endocrine cell Hormones are chemical messengers that enter the blood, which carries them from their site of secretion to the cells upon which they act. The endocrine system consists of all those glands, called endocrine glands, that secrete hormones. Secretory vesicles Endocrine cell Hormone molecules Blood vessel Target cell Exocrine gland vs. Endocrine gland Hormone-secreting cells Comparison between nervous system and endocrine system Types of hormones (1) (1) Peptides and proteins (2) Amines (3) Steroids Thyroid hormones Types of hormones (2) Chemical structures of the amine hormones Thyroid hormones By thyroid gland Ps.

By causing an increased number of epinephrine receptors (-adrenergic receptors) Input that act directly on endocrine gland cells to stimulate or inhibit hormone secretion Ex: paracrine Example of how the direct control of hormone secretion by the plasma concentration of a substance Pathways by which the nervous influences hormone secretion Types of endocrine disorders (1) Too little hormone: hyposecretion (2) Too much hormone: hypersecretion (3) Reduced responsiveness of the target cells to hormone (hyporesponsiveness) (4) Increased responsiveness of the target cells to hormone (hyperresponsiveness) Hyposecretion Primary hyposecretion: an endocrine gland may be secreting too little hormone because the gland cannot function normally. (1) Partial destruction of a gland; (2) An enzyme deficiency resulting in decreased synthesis of the hormone; (3) Dietary deficiency of iodine (thyroid hormones) Secondary hyposecretion: the endocrine gland is not damaged initially but is receiving too little of its tropic hormone. If tropic hormone : primary Dwarfish: If tropic hormone : secondary hyposecretion of growth hormone Treatment: to administer the missing hormone or a synthetic analog of the hormone. Hypersecretion Acromegaly: Primary hypersecretion: hypersecretion of growth hormone the gland is secreting too much of the hormone on it own. Secondary hypersecretion: excessive stimulation of the gland by its tropic hormone. If tropic hormone & target hormone : primary If tropic hormone & target hormone : secondary Treatment: surgery Radiation Drugs that inhibit a hormone’s synthesis Drugs that block the hormone’s action on its target cells Hyporesponsiveness & Hyperresponsiveness Hyporesponsiveness: the target cells do not respond normally to the hormone. (1) Deficiency of receptors-or abnormal receptors-for the hormone. (2) The receptors for a hormone may be normal but some event that occurs after hormone binds to receptors may be defective. (ex: cAMP) (3) Require metabolic activation by some other tissue after secretion. There may be a deficiency of the enzymes that catalyze the activation. (ex: testosterone →→→ dihydrotestosterone) Hyperresponsiveness: Thyroid hormone causes an up-regulation of certain receptors for epinephrine; therefore, hypersecretion of thyroid hormone causes a hyperresponsiveness to epinephrine. (increased heart rate with elevated levels of thyroid hormones) Type 2 diabetes Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) is - caused by a reduced response to insulin. - associated with being overweight and underactive. - the cause of more than 90% of diabetes.

Most cases of hypothyroidism (95%) are primary defects resulting from damage to or loss of functional tissue or from inadequate iodine consumption. The signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism: (1) An increased sensitivity to cold (cold intolerance) and a tendency toward weight gain. (2) In severe, certain hydrophilic polymers called glycosaminoglycans accumulate in the interstitial space in scattered regions of the body. Myxedema Goiter at an advanced stage If a thyroid cell is exposed to higher TSH levels than normal, it will undergo hypertrophy (increase in size). An enlarged thyroid gland from any cause is called goiter. Cretinism (congenital hypothyroidism) T3 and T4 are among the most important developmental hormones for the nervous system.

  • Ectopic Hormone Production by Malignant Tumors
    ANNALS O F CLINICAL AND LABORATORY SCIENCE, Vol. 9, No. 4 Copyright © 1979, Institute for Clinical Science, Inc. Ectopic Hormone Production by Malignant Tumors IRWIN J. HOLLANDER, M.D. and GONZALO E. APONTE, M.D. Department of Pathology, Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA 19107 ABSTRACT Malignant tumors of nonendocrine tissues may produce ectopic hor­ mones. The most likely mechanism is depression of genes which code for hormones. Ectopic hormones are invariably peptides, and each is identical to some peptide product of an endocrine gland. However, the majority of ectopic hormones occur as biologically inactive precursors or subunits and therefore remain occult unless they are specifically sought. When appropri­ ate assays are made for such inactive forms, it is found that ectopic produc­ tion of hormone-like peptides occurs frequently. Clinical syndromes result only in the relatively rare patients in whom a biologically active form is synthesized in large quantities. Laboratory research in this area improves our understanding of genetic control mechanisms in neoplasia. Ectopic hormones may be of limited use in diagnosis of cancer, especially when multiple markers are measured simultaneously. Introduction Ectopic hormone production is synthe­ sis of a hormone by tissues which do not To most of us, the ectopic synthesis of normally produce that hormone. This def­ hormones by malignant tumors brings to inition implies, of course, that all of the mind a rare patient whose vigorous normal sites of origin of the hormone are workup by an enthusiastic endocrin­ known, but this assumption conceals ologist merited a case report.

  • Dysfunction of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis in HIV Infection and Disease

Potential etiologies of these disorders include opportunistic infections, neoplasms, drugs administered to treat infections, cytokine abnor- malities associated with the HIV disease process and acquired alterations in tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids. In this article, we present a concise review of HPA abnormalities in HIV infection and disease with regard to their etiology with emphasis on syndromes of hypersen- sitivity/resistance to glucocorticoids associated with antiviral medications and/or the HIV infection itself.

  • The Endocrine Physiology 2 Inputs That Control Hormone Secretion • Control by Plasma Concentrations of Mineral Ions Or Organic Molecules
    The Endocrine Physiology 2 Inputs that Control Hormone Secretion • Control by Plasma Concentrations of mineral Ions or Organic molecules. For example, absorption of I- iodine ion increase output of thyroxine hormone by thyroid glands. • Control by Neurons – Nervous system can control hormone secretion in 4 ways. 1) Autonomic NS stimulates adrenal medulla to secrete epinephrine 2) Autonomic NS can stimulate or inhibit secretion of a hormone by an endocrine gland 3) neurohormones secreted by hypothalamus pass through blood to anterior pituitary body and influence the secretion of hormones by it. 4) Axons of some neurons of hypothalamus end in posterior pituitary lobe and release their hormones in it. • Control by Other Hormones – when the secretion of a hormone (thyroid stimulating hormone) causes the secretion of another hormone (triodothyronine), the 1st hormone is called a tropic hormone (thyrotropin). Most of these hormones also cause growth of gland (thyroid) secreting the hormone. For this action a tropic hormone is called a trophic hormone. I gave examples in parentheses. Types of Endocrine disorders • Hyposecretion is too little hormone. Primary hyposecretion can be due to partial damage of gland or enzyme deficiency or lack of nutrient in diet or infection etc. Secondary hyposecretion is caused due to deficiency of the tropic hormone though gland is in good condition. • Hypersecretion is too much hormone. It can also be primary or secondary on similar pattern to hyposecretion. • Hyporesponsiveness is reduced responsiveness of target cells to hormone. Most common type of Diabetes mellitus type 2 is caused due to hyporesponsiveness of target cells (muscle cells and adipose tissue).
