Hormone Receptor Location: Scientific Inquiry
• In the 1960s, researchers studied the accumulation of radioactive steroid hormones in rat tissue
• These hormones accumulated only in target cells that were responsive to the hormones
• These experiments led to the hypothesis that receptors for the steroid hormones are located inside the target cells
• Further studies have confirmed that receptors for lipid-soluble hormones such as steroids are located inside cells

VitellogeninFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Vitellogenin (VTG or less popularly known as VG) (from latin vitellus = yolk and gener = to produce) is a synonymous term for the gene and the expressed protein. The protein molecule is classified as a glyco-lipo-protein, having properties of a sugar, fat and protein. Vitellogenin is an egg yolk precursor protein expressed in females of fish, amphibians, reptiles (including birds), insects and the platypus. In the presence of estrogenic endocrine disruptive chemicals (EDCs), male fish can express the Vg gene in a dose dependent manner. Vg gene expression in male fish can be used as a molecular marker of exposure to
estrogenic EDCs.

Multiple Effects of Hormones
• 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
• A hormone can also have different effects in different species

Signaling by Local Regulators
• Types of local regulators:
– Cytokines and growth factors
– Nitric oxide (NO)
– Prostaglandins:
• Prostaglandins help regulate aggregation of platelets, an early step in formation of blood clots
![Page 19: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Concept 45.2
• Negative feedback and antagonistic hormone pairs are common features of the endocrine system
![Page 20: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Diabetes Mellitus
• Diabetes mellitus is perhaps the best-known endocrine disorder
• Type I diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent) is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system destroys pancreatic beta cells
• Type II diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent) involves insulin deficiency or reduced response of target cells due to change in insulin receptors
![Page 24: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Concept 45.3 :Coordination of Endocrine and Nervous Systems in Invertebrates
• In insects, molting and development are controlled by a combination of hormones:
– A brain hormone stimulates release of ecdysone from the prothoracic glands
– Juvenile hormone promotes retention of larval characteristics
– Ecdysone promotes molting (in the presence of juvenile hormone) and development (in the absence of juvenile hormone) of adult characteristics
![Page 25: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Coordination of Endocrine and Nervous Systems in Vertebrates
• The hypothalamus receives information from the nervous system and initiates responses through the endocrine system
• Attached to the hypothalamus is the pituitary gland composed of the posterior pituitary and anterior pituitary
![Page 27: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

• Oxytocin induces uterine contractions and the release of milk
• Suckling sends a message to the hypothalamus via the nervous system to release oxytocin, which further stimulates the milk glands
• This is an example of positive feedback, where the stimulus leads to an even greater response
• Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) enhances water reabsorption in the kidneys

Anterior Pituitary Hormones
• Hormone production in the anterior pituitary is controlled by releasing and inhibiting hormones from the hypothalamus
• For example, the production of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) in the hypothalamus stimulates secretion of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the anterior pituitary
![Page 36: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Hormone Cascade Pathways
• A hormone can stimulate the release of a series of other hormones, the last of which activates a nonendocrine target cell; this is called a hormone cascade pathway
• The release of thyroid hormone results from a hormone cascade pathway involving the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary, and thyroid gland
![Page 38: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Tropic Hormones
• A tropic hormone regulates the function of endocrine cells or glands
• The four strictly tropic hormones are
– Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
– Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
– Luteinizing hormone (LH)
– Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)
![Page 40: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Nontropic Hormones
• Nontropic hormones target nonendocrine tissues
• Nontropic hormones produced by the anterior pituitary are
– Prolactin (PRL)
– Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH)
• Prolactin stimulates lactation in mammals but has diverse effects in different vertebrates
• MSH influences skin pigmentation in some vertebrates and fat metabolism in mammals
![Page 41: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Growth Hormone
• Growth hormone (GH) is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and has tropic and nontropic actions
• It promotes growth directly and has diverse metabolic effects
• It stimulates production of growth factors
• An excess of GH can cause gigantism, while a lack of GH can cause dwarfism
![Page 42: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Endocrine glands respond to diverse stimuli in regulating metabolism, homeostasis, development, and behavior

![Page 43: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Thyroid Hormone: Control of Metabolism and Development
• The thyroid gland consists of two lobes on the ventral surface of the trachea
• It produces two iodine-containing hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
• Thyroid hormones stimulate metabolism and influence development and maturation
– Hyperthyroidism, excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, causes high body temperature, weight loss, irritability, and high blood pressure
– Graves’ disease is a form of hyperthyroidism in humans
– Hypothyroidism, low secretion of thyroid hormones, causes weight gain, lethargy, and intolerance to cold
![Page 44: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Parathyroid Hormone and Vitamin D: Control of Blood Calcium
• Two antagonistic hormones regulate the homeostasis of calcium (Ca2+) in the blood of mammals
– Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is released by the parathyroid glands
– Calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland
![Page 46: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

• PTH increases the level of blood Ca2+
– It releases Ca2+ from bone and stimulates reabsorption of Ca2+ in the kidneys
– It also has an indirect effect, stimulating the kidneys to activate vitamin D, which promotes intestinal uptake of Ca2+ from food
• Calcitonin decreases the level of blood Ca2+
– It stimulates Ca2+ deposition in bones and secretion by kidneys
![Page 48: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Adrenal Hormones: Response to Stress
• The adrenal glands are adjacent to the kidneys
• Each adrenal gland actually consists of two glands:
– the adrenal medulla (inner portion) and adrenal cortex (outer portion)
![Page 49: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Catecholamines from the Adrenal Medulla
• The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline)
• These hormones are members of a class of compounds called catecholamines
• They are secreted in response to stress-activated impulses from the nervous system
• They mediate various fight-or-flight responses
![Page 50: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Catecholamines
• They are called catecholamines because they contain a catechol group, and are derived from the amino acid tyrosine.[3]
• The most abundant catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine, all of which are produced from phenylalanine and tyrosine.
• Catecholamines are water-soluble and are 50% bound to plasma proteins, so they circulate in the bloodstream.
• Tyrosine is created from phenylalanine by hydroxylation by the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. (Tyrosine is also ingested directly from dietary protein). It is then sent to catecholamine-secreting neurons. Here, many kinds of reactions convert it to dopamine, to norepinephrine, and eventually to epinephrine
![Page 51: Fig. 45-1](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/5681368c550346895d9e1701/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

• Epinephrine and norepinephrine
– Trigger the release of glucose and fatty acids into the blood
– Increase oxygen delivery to body cells
– Direct blood toward heart, brain, and skeletal muscles, and away from skin, digestive system, and kidneys
• The release of epinephrine and norepinephrine occurs in response to nerve signals from the hypothalamus

Steroid Hormones from the Adrenal Cortex
• The adrenal cortex releases a family of steroids called corticosteroids in response to stress
• These hormones are triggered by a hormone cascade pathway via the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary
• Humans produce two types of corticosteroids: glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids

• Glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, influence glucose metabolism and the immune system
• Mineralocorticoids, such as aldosterone, affect salt and water balance
• The adrenal cortex also produces small amounts of steroid hormones that function as sex hormones

Gonadal Sex Hormones
• The gonads, testes and ovaries, produce most of the sex hormones: androgens(testosterone), estrogens (estradiol), and progestins (progesterone)
• All three sex hormones are found in both males and females, but in different amounts
– Testosterone causes an increase in muscle and bone mass and is often taken as a supplement to cause muscle growth, which carries health risks
– progesterone are primarily involved in preparing and maintaining the uterus

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
