Bone Marrow
Sympathomimetic (↑ HR, CO, Resp., metabolism), ↑ protein synthesis ↑ O2 consumption, heat (d/t ↑ metabolism) Erythropoeisis
GI tract
↑ motility
Bone Cardiac
↑ bone turnover Alters myosin isoenzymes
Bone Kidney Intestine
↑ bone resorption (↑Ca+2) ↑ Ca+2 reabsorption, PO4-3 secretion ↑ Ca+2absorption via Vit. D
Ca+2 in blood
Bone, Heart, Lung Chondrocytes
Organomegaly,↑ Organ function ↑ linear growth
GH
Hypothalamus Liver
High blood glucose stim Glucagon-Like Peptides (GLP) stim SST inhibits
Adipose
↓ hunger ↑ glycogen storage, ↑ synth cholesterols, ↑ glycolysis ↑ TG storage, ↑ glucose uptake, ↓ lipolysis ↑ protein synthesis (aa uptake), ↑ glycogen synthesis (↑ glucose transport), ↓ aa release (m/ breakdown) ↑ aa uptake, ↑ glycogenolysis, ↑ gluconeogenesis, ↑ ketogenesis ↑ lipolysis (FFA)
Hypothalamus Hypothalamus Hypothalamus
↑ Hunger ↓ Hunger ↓ Hunger
Fasting releases
GI Tract
↑Ca+2, ↑PO4-3 absorption
PTH
Most tissues
Parathyroid PTH
Action
Pancreas
β-Cells – Insulin
Adipose Muscle
α-Cells – Glucagon
GI Tract Stomach – Ghrelin Small Intestine – CCK Sm./Lg. Intestine – PYY Kidney 1,25-OH-D Adipose Leptin
Liver
GLUT2 - β cell glucose sensor GLUT4 - activated by insulin - ↑# on cell surface to ↑ glucose uptake in skeletal, cardiac m., adipose
Stim – aa, ACh, Epi, Low blood glucose Inhibit- glucose, insulin, SST, FFA
From skin, diet - Liver→25-OH-D

Action
Regulation
Clinical/Other
Maintain plasma volume via Na+ retention, K+ excretion
Renin-Angiotensin system
↓CRH, ADH; ↑appetite Maintain sensitivity to vasoconstrictors ↑ Gluconeogenesis (which ↑ lipolysis) Fetal lung devo ↓ ACTH ↑ GFR ↑ Resorption, ↓ Formation Catabolic (↑aa), ↓ insulin sensitivity Suppresses (↓ inflammation) ↓ Collagen synthesis See above DHEA precursor for T (negligible in males)
CRF-ACTH system
CRF-ACTH system
CAH- ↓ response to ACTH→ ↑ androgens – female pseudohermaphroditism - Adrenal Androgen HyperS – hirsutism, oligomenorrhea, acne, virilization of females
Fight-or-flight response (↑HR, CO, BP, Resp. rate, bronchiole dilation, vasoconstrict skin/gut, vasodilate heart, skeletal m.)
ACh ↑ exocytosis of secretory granules
Tumor (pheochromocytoma) may cause sudden onset HTN, headache, sweating, palpitations, tachycardia

Corpus Luteum
Action
Regulation
Maintain spermatogenesis, male duct morphology, accessory sex glands, 2° sex characteristics ↑ FSH, LH receptors on follicle and theca cells –primes follicular tissue for progesterone ∆ SM cell length Mucus watery, abundant - + for sperm Promotes ciliogenesis and mitosis Epithelium thick, cornified, filled w/ glycogen Local levels modulate ovulation Quiet SM cx (w/ relaxin) Mucus thick, sparse - – for sperm Stim secretory activity and SM cx Epithelium thin, sloughed cells nucleated
FSH stims Leydig cells – Activin and Inhibin from testes regulates FSH
Clinical/Other
Maintains corpus luteum until placenta takes over making progesterone and estrogen GH-like - stim gluconeogenesis in maternal liver Lots of aromatase in placenta→convert almost all androgens Made from DHEA sulfate from fetal adrenal
Marker of fetal health/brain devo – made from DHEA sulfate
