HORMON

What is hormon?

Many organs in the body secreted biologically active compound called endocrine hormones, which are transported via blood stream to other tissues or organs where they exert a biological effect As classically defined, is a substance that is synthesized in one organ and transported by the circulatory system to act on another tissue Hormones can act on adjacent cells (paracrine) Hormones can act on the cell in which they were synthesized without entering the sistemic circulation (autocrine)

Long-Distance Regulators

Animal hormones are chemical signals that are secreted into the circulatory system and communicate regulatory messages within the body Hormones reach all parts of the body, but only target cells are equipped to respond Hormones convey information via the bloodstream to target cells throughout the body

What is the importance of hormones?

Several hormones may control one, process or one hormon may control several process Provide communication beetween cells, tissues and organs This comunication is responsible for the regulation of wide range of functions including growth, reproduction, development, homeostasis, and response to external stimuli. Failure in this comunication channels are common and lead to many diseases of the endocrine system

How do hormones act?

In order to act , hormones must interact with other loci on or in the target cell These sites are termed receptors A receptor is a locus to which the hormone binds in order to elicit its action

RECEPTOR

A receptor has two function :

First, it must be able to distinguish the hormone from all the other chemicals present in the circulation and bind it.
The hormone binding sites on receptors have evolved to have unique configurations that are complementary to the hormones they bind. Generally, hormone-receptor interactions are noncovalent in nature and are reversible.

RECEPTOR
- Second, the receptor must able to transmit the information gained from the binding to trigger a cellular response.

Thus, subtances that bind hormones, even tightly, but do not trigger subsequent responses are not receptors.

Types of Hormones

1-Chemical composition : Cholesterol derivates this include : glucorticoid, mineralocorticoid, esterogen, progestin Amino acid -tyrosine Polypeptyde-ACTH,TRH Glycoprotein-TSH, FSH, LH 2-Solubility properties-lipophilic dan hidrophilic 3-Location of reseptor 4-Nature of signaling used to mediate hormonal action within the cell

Hormon can be clasisified in several ways, according:

Clasification of hormones by mechanism of action

WHERE HORMONES ARE SYNTHESIZED?

Hormones are synthesized in discrete organs designed solely for spesific purpose Pituitary: TSH, FSH, LH, GH, Prolactin, ACTH Some organs are disigned to perform two distinct but closely related function Ovaries produce mature oocyte and reproductive hormones estradiol and progesteron The testes produce mature spermatozoa and testesterone Hormones are also produced in specialized cells within other organs Small intestine : glucagon like peptide Thyroid : calcitonin Kydney : angiotensin II The synthesis of some hormones requires the parenchimal cells of more than one organ Skin, liver, kidney : calcitriol.

Hormon are synthesized and modified for full activity in a variety of ways

Some hormones are synthesized in final form and secreted immediattely , included in this class are the hormon derived from cholesterol Others are synthesized in final form and stored in producing cells, example catecholamine The others hormone synthesized and from precursor molecules in the producing cell, then are processed and secreted upon a physiologic cue, examples insulin Converted to active forms from precurssor molecules in the periphery, examples: T3, DHT

Control Pathways and Feedback Loops

The endocrine system secretes hormones that coordinate slower but longer-acting responses including reproduction, development, energy metabolism, growth, and behavior A common feature is a feedback loop connecting the response to the initial stimulus Negative feedback regulates many hormonal pathways involved in homeostasis

Signaling by any of these hormones involves three key events:

Reception Signal transduction Response

SECRETORY CELL

SECRETORY CELL

Hormone molecule
VIA BLOOD Signal receptor TARGET CELL Signal transduction pathway OR Cytoplasmic response Signal transduction and response Signal receptor DNA VIA BLOOD

Hormone molecule

TARGET CELL

mRNA NUCLEUS

DNA Nuclear response NUCLEUS

Synthesis of specific proteins

Receptor in plasma membrane

Receptor in cell nucleus

Binding of a hormone to its receptor initiates a signal transduction pathway leading to responses in the cytoplasm or a change in gene expression The same hormone may have different effects on target cells that have

Different receptors for the hormone Different signal transduction pathways Different proteins for carrying out the response

Different receptors different cell responses Epinephrine a receptor Epinephrine receptor Epinephrine receptor Glycogen deposits Vessel dilates

Vessel constricts

Glycogen breaks down and glucose is released from cell Liver cell

Intestinal blood vessel

Skeletal muscle blood vessel

Different intracellular proteins different cell responses

Paracrine Signaling by Local Regulators

In paracrine signaling, nonhormonal chemical signals called local regulators elicit responses in nearby target cells Types of local regulators:

Neurotransmitters Cytokines and growth factors Prostaglandins help regulate aggregation of platelets, an early step in formation of blood clots

The hypothalamus and pituitary integrate many functions of the vertebrate endocrine system

The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland control much of the endocrine system Tropic hormones, hormones that regulate endocrine organs Tropic hormones are secreted into the blood and transported to the anterior pituitary

Posterior Pituitary Hormones

The two hormones released from the posterior pituitary act directly on nonendocrine tissues Oxytocin induces uterine contractions and milk ejection Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) enhances water reabsorption in the kidneys

Anterior Pituitary Hormones

The anterior pituitary produces both tropic and nontropic hormones

Tropic Hormones

The four strictly tropic hormones are

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)

Each tropic hormone acts on its target endocrine tissue to stimulate release of hormone(s) with direct metabolic or developmental effects

Nontropic Hormones
Nontropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary: Prolactin stimulates lactation in mammals but has diverse effects in different vertebrates MSH influences skin pigmentation in some vertebrates and fat metabolism in mammals Endorphins inhibit pain

Growth Hormone
Growth hormone (GH) has tropic and nontropic actions It promotes growth directly and has diverse metabolic effects It stimulates production of growth factors

The thyroid gland produces calcitonin, which functions in calcium homeostasis

Parathyroid Hormone and Calcitonin: Control of Blood Calcium

Two antagonistic hormones, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin, play the major role in calcium (Ca2+) homeostasis in mammals. Calcitonin stimulates Ca2+ deposition in bones and secretion by kidneys, lowering blood Ca2+ levels

Two Glands of Hormon Thyroid and parathyroid Located Produce hormone (PTH)

Thyroid gland releases calcitonin.

Calcitonin

Stimulates Ca2+ deposition in bones

Reduces Ca2+ uptake in kidneys

STIMULUS: Rising blood Ca2+ level Homoeostasis: Blood Ca2+ level (about 10 mg/100 mL) Blood Ca2+ level rises to set point

Blood Ca2+ level declines to set point

STIMULUS: Falling blood Ca2+ level Stimulates Parathyroid gland Ca2+ release from bones

PTH

Increases Ca2+ uptake in intestines

Stimulates Ca2+ Active vitamin D uptake in kidneys

Insulin and Glucagon: Control of Blood Glucose

The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon, antagonistic hormones that help maintain glucose homeostasis Glucagon is produced by alpha cells Insulin is produced by beta cells

Insulin Beta cells of pancreas release insulin into the blood. Liver takes up glucose and stores it as glycogen.
STIMULUS: Rising blood glucose level (for instance, after eating a carbohydraterich meal)

Body cells take up more glucose.

Blood glucose level declines to set point; stimulus for insulin release diminishes.

Homeostasis: Blood glucose level (about 90 mg/100 mL)

Blood glucose level rises to set point; stimulus for glucagon release diminishes.

STIMULUS: Dropping blood glucose level (for instance, after skipping a meal)

Liver breaks down glycogen and releases glucose into the blood.

Alpha cells of pancreas release glucagon into the blood.

Glucagon

Target Tissues for Insulin and Glucagon

Insulin reduces blood glucose levels by

Promoting the cellular uptake of glucose Slowing glycogen breakdown in the liver Promoting fat storage

Glucagon increases blood glucose levels by

Stimulating conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver Stimulating breakdown of fat and protein into glucose

Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is perhaps the bestknown endocrine disorder It is caused by a deficiency of insulin or a decreased response to insulin in target tissues It is marked by elevated blood glucose levels

Adrenal Hormones: Response to Stress

The adrenal glands are adjacent to the kidneys The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) They are secreted in response to stressactivated impulses from the nervous system They mediate various fight-or-flight responses

Melatonin and Biorhythms

The pineal gland, located in the brain, secretes melatonin Light/dark cycles control release of melatonin Primary functions of melatonin appear to relate to biological rhythms associated with reproduction

Invertebrate regulatory systems also involve endocrine and nervous system interactions
Diverse hormones regulate homeostasis in invertebrates In insects, molting and development are controlled by three main hormones:

Brain hormone stimulates release of ecdysone from the prothoracic glands Ecdysone promotes molting and development of adult characteristics Juvenile hormone promotes retention of larval characteristics
