Term
Name 6 anabolic effects of insulin
Definition

1. increase glucose transport in skeletal muscle and adipose

2. increase glycogen synthesis and storage

3. increase triglyceride synthesis and storage

4. increase Na+ retention (kidneys)

5. increase protein synthesis (muscles)

6. increase cellular uptake of K+ and amino acids

Term
Name 6 tissues that don't require insulin for glucose uptake
Definition

BRICKL:

Brain

RBCs

Intestine

Cornea

Kidney

Liver

Term
Function of GLUT-1
Definition
transporter for glucose uptake into RBCs and brain
Term
Function of GLUT-2 (4)
Definition
bidirectional transporter for glucose uptake into β islet cells, liver, kidney, and small intestine
Term
Function of GLUT-4
Definition
Insulin responsive transporter for glucose uptake into adipose and skeletal muscle
Term
4 metabolic effects of glucagon
Definition

Glycogenolysis

Gluconeogenesis

Lipolysis and ketone production

Inhibition of insulin and further glucagon release

Term
Affect of TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus (2)
Definition
TSH and prolactin secretion
Term
Affect of dopamine from the hypothalamus
Definition
Suppresses prolactin secretion (dopamine is usually constitutively secreted to suppress prolactin)
Term
Affect of CRH (corticotrophin releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus
Definition
increase ACTH secretion
Term
Affect of GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus
Definition
increase GH secretion
Term
Affect of Somatostatin from the hypothalamus (2)
Definition
Suppresses GH and TSH secretion
Term
Affect of GnRH (gonadotrophin releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus
Definition

Increases FSH and LH secretion

 

Term
Affect of prolactin from the ant. pituitary (besides milk production)
Definition
Suppresses GnRH (gonadotrophin releasing hormone) secretion from the hypothalamus
Term
Describe the process of prolactin regulation
Definition
Prolactin secretion is inhibited by dopamine from the hypothalamus. Prolactin inhibits its own secretion by increasing dopamine secretion.
Term
How to inhibit prolactin secretion in prolactinomas. (name a drug)
Definition
Give dopamine agaonists like bromocriptine.
Term
Somatotropin is aka ___
Definition
Growth hormone
Term
Describe the secretion of Growth Hormone (somatotropin): when is it high vs low?
Definition

Released in pulses in response to GHRH

Increased during exercise and sleep

Term
What 2 things can inhibit Growth hormone (somatotropin) release?
Definition

Glucose

Somatostatin

Term
What is the function of Growth hormone (somatotropin)? (2) How?
Definition
Stimulates linear growth and muscle mass through somatomedin secretion
Term
2 affects of insulin on muscles
Definition

1. increase glucose transport

2. increase protien synthesis

Term
Affect of insulin on kidneys
Definition
increases Na+ retention
Term
3 Affects of insulin on metabolism
Definition

Increases glycogen synthesis and storage

Increases triglyceride synthesis and storage

Increases cellular uptake of K+ and amino acids
