Kidneys:
Renin: converts angiotensin to angiotensin I
Regulates BP
Erythropoietin: Stimulates production of RBCs
Skin: Precursor to Vitamin D
Placenta: pregnancy
hCG
Progesterone
HPL – Human placental lactogen (increases [glucose])
Relaxin – relaxes pubic symphysis and cervix](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/chapter17endopart2marieb-120113073459-phpapp02/85/Chapter17-endopart2marieb-18-320.jpg)

- 1. Ch 17 Endocrinology, Part 2 Adrenal Gland (p 525) Steroid hormones and their glands Other endocrine glands Compare Endocrine and Nervous systems Developed by John Gallagher, MS, DVM
- 2. Adrenal (or Suprarenal) Gland Adrenal Medulla: modified sympathetic ganglion produces epinephrine and norepinephrine (parallels sympathetic division of ANS) Adrenalin® = adrenaline = epinephrine Neuroendocrine gland
- 3. Adrenal (or Suprarenal) Gland Adrenal cortex Corticosteroid production: Zona Glomerulosa— Aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid) Zona fasciculata— Glucocorticoids, esp. cortisol, AKA cortisone Zona reticularis—Androgens? DHEA?
- 4. Stress and the Adrenal Gland Fig 17.8
- 5. Steroid Hormones All steroid hormones have a common chemical backbone, derived from cholesterol Slight differences in branches decide the hormone’s activity Lipid soluble Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, aldosterone, calcitriol, vitamin D
- 6. More Steroids Sex Steroids Female: estrogen and progesterone Male: testosterone, AKA anabolic steroids Corticosteroids From adrenal cortex Cortisol (antiinflammatory) Mineralocorticoids Aldosterone (preserves Na+) Calcitriol (active form of Vit. D; from kidneys, absorbs Ca2+)
- 7. Anabolic Steroids Fluoxymesterone brand name Halotestin, Oxandrolone brand name Anavar, Methandrostenolone brand name Dianabol, Methyltestosterone brand name Metandren Oreton Methyl, Nandrolone Decanoate brand name Deca-Durabolin, Testosterone Propionate brand name Testex, Testosterone Cypionate brand name Depo-Testosterone, Stanozolol brand name Winstrol, Testolactone brand name Teslac, Dromostanolone Propionate brand name Drolban, Nandrolone Phenpropionate brand name Durabolin, Testosterone Enanthate brand name Delatestryl, Ethylestrenol brand name Maxibolin, Danazol brand name Danocrine, Calusterone brand name Methosarb, Testosterone Undecanoate, Testosterone Cyclohexanecarboxylate, Dihydrotestosterone, Methenolone Acetate brand name Primobolan, Testosterone-trans-4-n-butylcyclohexyl- carboxylate code name 20Aet-1
- 8. Pineal gland Part of epithalamus Secretes melatonin Derivative of serotonin Regulates circadian Rhythms (sleep cycle) Inhibits hypothalamic releasing factors Decreases repro function
- 9. Pancreas Endocrine AND exocrine functions Exocrine portion covered in Digestive System Pancreatic islets or Islets of Langerhans (1 x 106 islets) cells: glucagon ( blood sugar levels by stimulating liver to convert glycogen to glucose) cells: insulin (51 a.a.) ( blood sugar levels by causing the cells to take up glucose for use by the mitochondria) (delta) cells: somatostatin F cells: pancreatic polypeptide
- 10. Pancreatic Islet
- 12. Diabetes Diabetes mellitus Type 1: AKA IDDM, juvenile onset Deficiency of insulin Type 2 (90% of DM) AKA NIDDM, adult onset Decreased production of insulin AND/OR some sort of deficiency in receptors (insulin resistance) Related to obesity, lack of exercise, age Often controlled by diet, oral hypoglycemics Diabetes insipidus Deficiency of ADH Much less common
- 14. Thymus Gland Inside thoracic cavity immediately posterior to sternum above the heart Most active in infancy and childhood - Largest just before puberty, then atrophies Thymosin - enhances T- lymphocyte production and competence. (important for immune system development)
- 15. Testes Secrete testosterone into the bloodstream From interstitial cells Stimulates sperm production (along with FSH) Secondary sex characteristics Inhibin (balances FSH) From sustentacular (Sertoli) cells Other minor secretions
- 16. Ovaries Estrogen—by ovarian follicles in response to FSH Progesterone—by the corpus luteum (pl. corpora lutea) in response to LH Inhibin—decreases estrogen prod’n
- 17. Other Endocrine Structures p 529 Heart: Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Brain: Brain Natriuretic Peptide GI Tract: Enteroendocrine cells regulate digestive processes Stomach: Ghrelin (not in book!) Adipose: Leptin, antagonist to ghrelin
- 18. Other Endocrine Structures p 529 Kidneys: Renin: converts angiotensin to angiotensin I Regulates BP Erythropoietin: Stimulates production of RBCs Skin: Precursor to Vitamin D Placenta: pregnancy hCG Progesterone HPL – Human placental lactogen (increases [glucose]) Relaxin – relaxes pubic symphysis and cervix
- 19. Other Hormones Prostaglandins (not in the book) Approx 12 types, similar structure, widely different functions Derived from FA Produced in cell membranes in most cells Does not fit some definitions of ―hormone‖ Very short half-life (t½) Involved in inflammatory response NSAIDs are prostaglandin inhibitors Gastrin—produce gastric HCl Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) Endorphins Others yet to be discovered
