Oxytocin
Oxytocin is a strong stimulant of uterine contraction
Regulated by a positive feedback mechanism to oxytocin in the blood
This leads to increased intensity of uterine contractions, ending in birth
Oxytocin triggers milk ejection (“letdown” reflex) in women producing milk

Oxytocin
Synthetic and natural oxytocic drugs are used to induce or hasten labor
Plays a role in sexual arousal and satisfaction in males and nonlactating females
![Page 5: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH)
ADH helps to avoid dehydration or water overload
Prevents urine formation
Osmoreceptors monitor the solute concentration of the blood
With high solutes, ADH preserves water
With low solutes, ADH is not released, thus causing water loss
Alcohol inhibits ADH release and causes copious urine output

Thyroid Gland
The largest endocrine gland, located in the anterior neck, consists of two lateral lobes connected by a median tissue mass called the isthmus
Composed of follicles that produce the glycoprotein thyroglobulin
Colloid (thyroglobulin + iodine) fills the lumen of the follicles and is the precursor of thyroid hormone
Other endocrine cells, the parafollicular cells, produce the hormone calcitonin
![Page 7: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Synthesis of Thyroid Hormone
Thyroglobulin is synthesized and discharged into the lumen
Iodides (I–) are actively taken into the cell, oxidized to iodine (I2), and released into the lumen
Iodine attaches to tyrosine, mediated by peroxidase enzymes, forming T1 (monoiodotyrosine, or MIT), and T2 (diiodotyrosine, or DIT)
![Page 11: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Synthesis of Thyroid Hormone
Iodinated tyrosines link together to form T3 and T4
Colloid is then endocytosed and combined with a lysosome, where T3 and T4 are cleaved and diffuse into the bloodstream
![Page 12: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

T4 and T3 bind to thyroxine-binding globulins (TBGs) produced by the liver
Both bind to target receptors, but T3 is ten times more active than T4
Peripheral tissues convert T4 to T3
Mechanisms of activity are similar to steroids
Regulation is by negative feedback
Hypothalamic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) can overcome the negative feedback

Calcitonin targets the skeleton, where it:
Inhibits osteoclast activity (and thus bone resorption) and release of calcium from the bone matrix
Stimulates calcium uptake and incorporation into the bone matrix
Regulated by a humoral (calcium ion concentration in the blood) negative feedback mechanism
Calcitonin

PTH release increases Ca2+ in the blood as it:
Stimulates osteoclasts to digest bone matrix
Enhances the reabsorption of Ca2+ and the secretion of phosphate by the kidneys
Increases absorption of Ca2+ by intestinal mucosal
Rising Ca2+ in the blood inhibits PTH release

The Four Mechanisms of Aldosterone Secretion Renin-angiotensin mechanism – kidneys release
renin, which is converted into angiotensin II that in turn stimulates aldosterone release
Plasma concentration of sodium and potassium – directly influences the zona glomerulosa cells
ACTH – causes small increases of aldosterone during stress
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) – inhibits activity of the zona glomerulosa
![Page 34: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Glucocorticoids (Cortisol)
Help the body resist stress by:
Keeping blood sugar levels relatively constant
Maintaining blood volume and preventing water shift into tissue
Cortisol provokes:
Gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from noncarbohydrates)
Rises in blood glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids
![Page 36: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Excessive Levels of Glucocorticoids
Excessive levels of glucocorticoids:
Depress cartilage and bone formation
Inhibit inflammation
Depress the immune system
Promote changes in cardiovascular, neural, and gastrointestinal function
![Page 37: Hap7 16 b](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/556c6e52d8b42ad85e8b4e80/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Gonadocorticoids (Sex Hormones)
Most gonadocorticoids secreted are androgens (male sex hormones), and the most important one is testosterone
Androgens contribute to:
The onset of puberty
The appearance of secondary sex characteristics
Sex drive in females
Androgens can be converted into estrogens after menopause

Testes located in an extra-abdominal sac (scrotum) produce testosterone
Testosterone:
Initiates maturation of male reproductive organs
Causes appearance of secondary sexual characteristics and sex drive
Is necessary for sperm production
Maintains sex organs in their functional state
Gonads: Male

Small gland hanging from the roof of the third ventricle of the brain
Secretory product is melatonin
Melatonin is involved with:
Day/night cycles
Physiological processes that show rhythmic variations (body temperature, sleep, appetite)
Pineal Gland

Thymus
Lobulated gland located deep to the sternum
Major hormonal products are thymopoietins and thymosins
These hormones are essential for the development of the T lymphocytes (T cells) of the immune system

Heart – produces atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), which reduces blood pressure, blood volume, and blood sodium concentration
Gastrointestinal tract – enteroendocrine cells release local-acting digestive hormones
Placenta – releases hormones that influence the course of pregnancy
Other Hormone-Producing Structures

Kidneys – secrete erythropoietin, which signals the production of red blood cells
Skin – produces cholecalciferol, the precursor of vitamin D
Adipose tissue – releases leptin, which is involved in the sensation of satiety, and stimulates increased energy expenditure
Other Hormone-Producing Structures

Developmental Aspects
Hormone-producing glands arise from all three germ layers
Endocrine glands derived from mesoderm produce steroid hormones
Endocrine organs operate smoothly throughout life
Most endocrine glands show structural changes with age, but hormone production may or may not be affected

Developmental Aspects
Exposure to pesticides, industrial chemicals, arsenic, dioxin, and soil and water pollutants disrupts hormone function
Sex hormones, thyroid hormone, and glucocorticoids are vulnerable to the effects of pollutants
Interference with glucocorticoids may help explain high cancer rates in certain areas

Developmental Aspects
Ovaries undergo significant changes with age and become unresponsive to gonadotropins
Female hormone production declines, the ability to bear children ends, and problems associated with estrogen deficiency (e.g., osteoporosis) begin to occur
Testosterone also diminishes with age, but effect is not usually seen until very old age

Developmental Aspects
GH levels decline with age and this accounts for muscle atrophy with age
Supplemental GH may spur muscle growth, reduce body fat, and help physique
TH declines with age, causing lower basal metabolic rates
PTH levels remain fairly constant with age, and lack of estrogen in women makes them more vulnerable to bone-demineralizing effects of PTH
