Endocrine System Q.l What is Hormone? Hormone is derived from Greek word "hormaein" means to stir up It is a substance produced by specific cells in the body and is transported through circulation to act on target cells Q.2 Name the hormones released by pituitary gland? Pituitary gland has two portions i Anterior and ii Posterior The hormones produced by anterior pituitary are: Growth hormones ii Prolactin iii Adrenocorticotropic hormone iv Thyroid stimulating hormone v Gonadotropin follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) The hormones from posterior pituitary are: Oxytocin Antidiuretic hormone Q.3 Name the hormone released from hypothalamus? The hormones released from hypothalamus are: i Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH)-(tripeptide) ii Corticotropin releasing hormone CRH (with 41 amino acids) m Gonadotropin releasing hormone (decapeptide) iv Prolactin release inhibitory hormone PRH (Dopamine) v Prolactin releasing factor (PRF) vi Somatostatin, Growth hormone releasing inhibitory hormone (peptide with 14 amino acids) Endocrine System 99 vii Growth hormone releasing hormone (peptide with 40; 44 amino acids) Q.4 Name the hormones released by placenta These are chorionic gonadotropin, oestrogen, placental lacto gen, prolactin, progesterone, chorionic thyrotropin Q.S Mention the therapeutic use of growth hormone The only approved indication for growth hormone is pituitary dwarfism now produced by recombinant DNA technology Q.6 What are the functions of somatostatin? This is a 14 amino acid peptide inhibits secretion of GH, TSH and prolactin in pituitary, glucagon and insulin in pancreas and almost all gastrointestinal secretions including gastrin and HCl Q.7 What is the therapeutic use of somatostatin or octreolide? Somatostatin used for only acromegaly but its limitation is lack of specificity and rebound after discontinuation so synthetic peptide octreolide is used to treat acromegaly or metastatic carcinoid tumors Q.B How is the prolactin secretion regulated? Prolactin is under inhibitors control of hypothalamus PRIH which is dopamine and acts on lactotrope D2 receptors Dopamine agonist (DA, Bromocriptine, apomorphine) decreases plasma PRL level where as its level is increased by dopaminergic antagonist (CPZ, Haloperidol, metoclo paramide), DA depletor (methyl dopa and reserpine) causes hyperprolactinemia Q.9 What are the therapeutic uses of Bromocriptine? This synthetic ergot derivative with DA agonistic activity is used clinically in i Hyperprolactinemia ii Suppression of lactation and breast engorgement iii Acromegaly iv Parkinsonism v Hepatic coma • 100 Viva Voce in Medical Pharmacology Q.lO What are the gonadotropin hormones secreted by anterior pituitary? What are their chemical nature and therapeutic uses? Anterior pituitary secretes two gonadotropins FSH and LH which are amino acids FSH and LH has mol wt of 32000 and 30000 respectively Their therapeutic uses are: i Amenorrhoea and infertility Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in males u iii Cryptorchism iv To aid in vitro fertilization Q.ll What is TSH? What is its function and therapeutic uses? These are 210 amino acid, two chainglycoprotein with MW 30000 from anterior pituitary It stimulates thyroid to synthesize T4 and T3, induces hyperplasia and hypertrophy of thyroid follicles and increase blood supply to the gland, promotes iodide trapping and releases more T3 and T4 It is used only to diagnose myxoedema of pituitary dysfunction and primary thyroid disease Q.12 What is the chemical nature of adrenocorticotropic hormone? What is its physiological function? It is 39 amino acid containing single chain polypeptide derived from larger peptide pro-opiomelanocortion Endorphins lipotropins and MSH are also derived from it ACTH promotes steroidgenesis in adrenal cortex increasing availability of cholesterol for conversion to pregnenolone, the rate limiting step in production of gluco, minerals, androgenic steroids slowly inducing steroidogenic enzymes ACTH exerts trophic influence on adrenal cortex through cAMP.It produces metabolic effect like lipolysis, ketosis, hypoglycaemia Q.13 What are the hormones secreted by thyroid gland? The thyroid gland secretes thyroxine (T4); tri-iodothyronine (T3) by follicular cells interfollicular C cells and calcitonin produced by Endocrine System 101 Q.14 How the thyroid hormones are synthesized? Thyroid hormones are synthesized and stored in the thyroid follicles in thyroglobulin molecules as follows: i Iodide trapping: Under the influence of TSH thyroid cells concentrate iodine ii Oxidation of Iodine: Trapped Iodide is oxidised by peroxidase enzyme with H202 to iodinium I+ and combines with tyrosil residues of thyroglobulin apparently without enzymatic intervention to form moniiodotyrosine, di-iodot yrosine still attaches to thyroglobulin chains iii Coupling: Pairs of iodinated tyrosil residues couple to gether to produce T3 and T4, more T4 is formed than T3 iv Storage and release: Thyroglobulin with iodinated tyrosil is transported to the interior of the follicles and remains stored in thyroid colloid till it is taken back into the cells by endocytosis and broken down by lysosomal proteases T4 and T3 are secreted into circulation while MIT and DIT residues are deiodinated v Conversion ofT4 and T3 in periphery: Liver, Kidney convert T4 to T3 T3 is taken up by target tissues almost equal amounts of 3,5,3, T3 and 335 T3 reverse inactive T3 are produced in the periphery Propylthiouracil, Propranolol, amiodarone and glucocorticoids inhibit peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 Q.lS How are the thyroid hormones transported?

Thyroid gland secretes more T4 than T3 T4 is major circulating hormone because it is tightly bound to plasma proteins and T3 is faster acting: About 1/3 of T4 is converted to T3 in peripheral tissues Q.18 Name some thyroid inhibitors These are drugs us�d in hyperactive thyroid gland and can be classified as follows: i Inhibiting iodide trapping (Thiocyanate, Perchlorates, Nitrates) ii Inhibit hormone synthesis (Propylthiouracil, Methimazole, Carbimazole) iii Inhibiting hormone release: Iodine, Iodides of Na and K iv Destroy thyroid tissue: Radioactive iodine Q 18.What are the uses of antithyroid drugs?
