Endocrine system organization
• Endocrine system consists of
a) Host organ
b) Hormone
c) Target organ
Ductless gland – release hormones into the blood to
fulfill cellular functions.
Target cell receptors occur either on the plasma
membrane and in the cell’s interior(steroid
hormones).
Shalu Thariwal
Types of Hormones
• Steroid Hormones: – Structure similar to cholesterol –, fat
soluble, Can pass through cell membranes – Direct gene
activation
for ex-Cortisol, Aldosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone,
Testosterone
• Non-steroid Hormones: – Protein/peptide or amino acid-
derived, soluble in blood – Cannot pass through cell
membrane – Second messenger activation
for ex-
Thyroid Hormones,Epinephrine/Norepinephrine
Shalu Thariwal
Hormone target cell specificity
• Hormones modify intracellular protein synthesis rate
• Stimulate DNA
• Change rate of enzyme activity
• Alters plasma membrane transport via a 2nd
messenger system
• Induce secretion
Shalu Thariwal
Feedback Control of Hormone Secretion
Negative Feedback: Release of the hormone has a
negative effect on its own release, this prevents
oversecretion of the hormone. The controlled variable is
often the activity of the target tissue. As a result, negative
feedback kicks in only when the target tissue displays an
appropriate level of activity.
Positive feedback: Rare, but in some instances the
biological action of a hormone causes additional secretion
of the hormone. This occurs until an appropriate
concentration is reached, at which point negative
feedback is initiated. Ex- Estrogen stimulates secretion
of luteinizing hormone (LH), which acts on the ovaries to
stimulate more estrogen, etc.
Shalu Thariwal
Hormone-Receptor Binding
Upregulation: target cells form more receptors in
response to increasing hormonal levels
Downregulation: caused by prolonged exposure to
high hormone concentrations, causes a desensitizing
of target cells so that they respond less vigorously to
hormonal stimulation

Growth hormone
Effects of Growth Hormone
• Increased amino acid, transport across cell membranes
• Increased protein synthesis
• Increased utilization of fatty acids Increased fat
breakdown
• Increased availability of glucose and amino acids
Decreased glucose utilization
• Decreased glycogen synthesis Increased collagen
synthesis and Stimulate cartilage growth
• Increased retention of Nitrogen, Sodium, Potassium, and
Phosphorus Enhanced immune function
• Increases renal plasma flow, filtration, and hypertrophy
Shalu Thariwal
GH
1.What Stimulates Growth Hormone Secretion?
• Decreased blood glucose
• Decreased blood free fatty acids
• Starvation, protein deficiency, Trauma, stress,
excitement
• Exercise
• Testosterone, estrogen, Deep sleep
2.What Inhibits Growth Hormone Secretion?
• Increased blood glucose
• Increased blood free fatty acids
• Aging,Obesity
Shalu Thariwal
Shalu Thariwal
GH
• Short term exercise – sharp rise in GH
• Stimulates insulin like growth factors(by liver)
which maintain GH effect.
• Maintain glucose level by mobilizing free fatty
acids- good performance in prolonged exercise.
• Researches has shown that GH in sedentary
individuals maintains at higher level for several
hours after recovery.
Shalu Thariwal
Regulation of Glucose Metabolism
• Controlled by Five Hormones: Insulin, Glucagon,
Epinephrine, Norepinephrine and Cortisol
• During Exercise Blood Glucose is affected by three
factors: – Liver release of glucose – Muscle uptake of
glucose – Dietary intake of glucose
Shalu Thariwal
Glucagon
• Secretion Site: Pancreas
• Action: Cause liver glycogen breakdown and
glucose release to blood
• Exercise Response: Positively correlated to
exercise intensity, Effect of Chronic Exercise: at
given intensity compared to untrained individual
Shalu Thariwal
Insulin
• Secretion Site: Pancreas
• Action: Glucose uptake by muscle at rest,
regulating blood glucose concentration
• Exercise Response: Not released during exercise;
receptors more sensitive, thus less insulin
required
• Effect of Chronic Exercise: No exercise response
Shalu Thariwal
Shalu Thariwal
Cortisol
• Secretion Site: Adrenal Cortex
• Action: Increase in Protein Catabolism, Increase blood amino
acids for gluconeogenesis (making glucose from other
substrates)
• Exercise Response: Positively correlated to exercise intensity
(>80% max effort) but only acts during first 30-45 min
• Short Duration Exercise: High intensity = Greater
catecholamine release = Greater release of glucose from liver
40-50% increase in blood glucose Replenishes muscle
glycogen stores
• Long Duration Exercise: Glucose production = demand Liver
glycogen stores are a limiting factor, Blood glucose
concentration may decrease • Glucagon/Cortisol
gluconeogenesis
Shalu Thariwal
Regulation of Fat Metabolism
• Controlled by Five Hormones
• Fat Metabolism is needed – When exercise depletes glycogen
stores (long duration exercise) – When diet depletes glycogen
stores (fasting, low CHO dieting, etc.)

• Alghadir et al, (2015)purpose of this study was to
evaluate the effect of 4 weeks moderate aerobic exercise
on outcome measures of saliva stress hormones and
lactate levels in healthy adult 15 to 25 age.
• moderate intensity for 4 weeks, three times per week.
• It was found that after 4 weeks of exercise, there were
significant increases in cortisol, free testosterone levels,
and LDH activity along with a significant decrease in the
ratios between testosterone and cortisol levels.(1)

Effect on growth hormone
• Gibney et al.(2007) study the effects of the GH/IGF-I
axis on exercise physiology. Measures of exercise
performance including maximal oxygen uptake and
ventilatory threshold. Administration of
supraphysiological doses of GH to athletes increases
fatty acid availability and reduces oxidative protein
loss, particularly during exercise, and increases lean
body mass. There is evidence that exercise
performance and strength are improved by
administration of GH and testosterone in combination
to elderly subjects.(2)

Acute effects of exercise
• Moderate exercise: boosts immune functions and host
defenses mechanism for several hours.
• Increase natural killer cell activity, inactivates virus
and tumor cells.
• Exhaustive exercise: it severely blunts the body’s
defense mechanism.
• Increase temp, increase stress related hormones.

2 main hormones that affect by resistance training
• GH
• Testosterone
• A single training session elicits a sharp rise in
serum testosterone and decrease cortisol.
• Catecholamines also release.
• Exercises – dead lifts, squats, heavy resistance
exercise- 85 ton 95% 1 RM.
• Long term effect- increase resting testosterone
levels and improves strength.

• Pyka et al. (1992) measured serum GH responses to a standardized
circuit of resistance exercise in 12 young subjects (6 men and 6
women; 27 +/- 1.6 yr old) and in 11 elders (6 men and 5 women; 72
+/- 0.8 yr old). Initial assessment of strength [1 repetition maximum
(1RM)] was made of 12 muscle groups using Nautilus equipment.
One week later, subjects carried out the exercise protocol, 3 sets of 8
repetitions for each of the 12 exercises, at 70% of predetermined
1RM values. Venous blood was drawn at baseline, after each
exercise, and every 2 min during 10 min of recovery. It has found
that Exercise increased GH in both groups, but peak values (14.9 +/-
3.5 micrograms/L in young; 2.44 +/- 0.6 micrograms/L in old) were
significantly greater in the young subjects. In the young subjects,
GH responses were nonsignificant at 60% and increased
progressively at 70% and 85% of 1RM. (3)

• Tremblay et al. (2004) purpose of this study was to determine the
acute anabolic and catabolic hormone response to endurance and
resistance exercise bouts of equal volume in subjects with differing
training status. Twenty-two healthy men were recruited who were
either resistance trained (n = 7), endurance trained (n = 8), or
sedentary (n = 7). Three sessions were completed: a resting session,
a 40-min run at 50-55% maximal oxygen consumption, and a
resistance exercise session. Blood samples were drawn before
exercise and 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after the start of the exercise.
Androgens increased in response to exercise, particularly resistance
exercise, whereas cortisol only increased after resistance exercise.
After an initial postexercise increase, there was a significant decline
in free and total testosterone during recovery from resistance
exercise.(4)

  • 31. Effect on growth hormone • Gibney et al.(2007) study the effects of the GH/IGF-I axis on exercise physiology. Measures of exercise performance including maximal oxygen uptake and ventilatory threshold. Administration of supraphysiological doses of GH to athletes increases fatty acid availability and reduces oxidative protein loss, particularly during exercise, and increases lean body mass. There is evidence that exercise performance and strength are improved by administration of GH and testosterone in combination to elderly subjects.(2) Shalu Thariwal

  • 37. Cont…. 2 main hormones that affect by resistance training • GH • Testosterone • A single training session elicits a sharp rise in serum testosterone and decrease cortisol. • Catecholamines also release. • Exercises – dead lifts, squats, heavy resistance exercise- 85 ton 95% 1 RM. • Long term effect- increase resting testosterone levels and improves strength.

  • 39. • Pyka et al. (1992) measured serum GH responses to a standardized circuit of resistance exercise in 12 young subjects (6 men and 6 women; 27 +/- 1.6 yr old) and in 11 elders (6 men and 5 women; 72 +/- 0.8 yr old). Initial assessment of strength [1 repetition maximum (1RM)] was made of 12 muscle groups using Nautilus equipment. One week later, subjects carried out the exercise protocol, 3 sets of 8 repetitions for each of the 12 exercises, at 70% of predetermined 1RM values. Venous blood was drawn at baseline, after each exercise, and every 2 min during 10 min of recovery. It has found that Exercise increased GH in both groups, but peak values (14.9 +/- 3.5 micrograms/L in young; 2.44 +/- 0.6 micrograms/L in old) were significantly greater in the young subjects. In the young subjects, GH responses were nonsignificant at 60% and increased progressively at 70% and 85% of 1RM. (3) Shalu Thariwal
  • 40. • Tremblay et al. (2004) purpose of this study was to determine the acute anabolic and catabolic hormone response to endurance and resistance exercise bouts of equal volume in subjects with differing training status. Twenty-two healthy men were recruited who were either resistance trained (n = 7), endurance trained (n = 8), or sedentary (n = 7). Three sessions were completed: a resting session, a 40-min run at 50-55% maximal oxygen consumption, and a resistance exercise session. Blood samples were drawn before exercise and 1, 2, 3, and 4 h after the start of the exercise. Androgens increased in response to exercise, particularly resistance exercise, whereas cortisol only increased after resistance exercise. After an initial postexercise increase, there was a significant decline in free and total testosterone during recovery from resistance exercise.(4) Shalu Thariwal
