Endocrine System Hormones Regulation • Why are hormones needed? – chemical messages from one body part to another – communication needed to coordinate whole body – homeostasis & regulation • • • • • metabolism growth development maturation reproduction growth hormones Regulation & Communication • Animals rely on 2 systems for regulation – endocrine system • system of ductless glands – secrete chemical signals directly into blood – chemical travels to target tissue – slow, long-lasting response – nervous system • system of neurons – transmits “electrical” signal & release neurotransmitters to target tissue – fast, short-lasting response Regulation by chemical messengers • Neurotransmitters released by neurons • Hormones release by endocrine glands endocrine gland neurotransmitter axon hormone carried by blood receptor proteins receptor proteins target cell Classes of Hormones • Protein-based hormones – polypeptides • small proteins: insulin, ADH insulin – glycoproteins • large proteins + carbohydrate: FSH, LH – amines • modified amino acids: epinephrine, melatonin • Lipid-based hormones – steroids • modified cholesterol: sex hormones, aldosterone How do hormones act on target cells • Lipid-based hormones – hydrophobic & lipid-soluble • diffuse across membrane & enter cells • bind to receptor proteins in cytoplasm & nucleus • bind to DNA as transcription factors • Protein-based hormones – hydrophilic & not lipid soluble • • • • can’t diffuse across membrane receptor proteins in cell membrane trigger secondary messenger pathway activate internal cellular response – enzyme action, uptake or secretion of molecules… Action of lipid (steroid) hormones steroid hormone target cell S S cytoplasm S 1 2 blood protein carrier receptor protein 4 transcription factor S 3 DNA nucleus mRNA 5 protein plasma membrane ex: growth factors (hair, bone, muscle, gametes) Action of protein hormones signal-transduction pathway 1 protein hormone P signal plasma membrane activates ion channel or enzyme 2° messenger receptor protein transduction ATP activates enzyme cytoplasm target cell 2 secondary messenger system activates enzyme produces an action 3 response Signal Transduction pathway 1 protein hormone P activates enzyme G protein cAMP receptor protein 2 GTP cytoplasm 3 ATP activates enzyme activates enzyme produces an action secondary messenger system 4 5 Action of epinephrine (adrenalin) 1 epinephrine activates adenylyl cyclase adrenal gland G protein cAMP receptor protein 2 GTP cytoplasm liver cell 3 ATP activates protein kinase-A activates phosphorylase glycogen 5 4 glucose released to blood Benefits of a 2° messenger system signal 1 Activated adenylyl cyclase receptor protein 2 Not yet activated amplification 4 3 GTP amplification cAMP amplification 5 G protein protein kinase 6 Amplification!

How could these hormones have different effects? same gene family gene duplication? prolactin mammals milk production birds fat metabolism fish amphibians salt & water balance metamorphosis & maturation growth hormone growth & development Regulating metabolism • Hypothalamus – TRH = TSH-releasing hormone • Anterior Pituitary – TSH = thyroid stimulating hormone • Thyroid – produces thyroxine hormones – metabolism & development • • • • • • • bone growth mental development metabolic use of energy blood pressure & heart rate muscle tone digestion reproduction tyrosine + iodine thyroxine Goiter Iodine deficiency causes thyroid to enlarge as it tries to produce thyroxine Regulation of Blood Calcium Feedback calcitonin kidney filters Ca++ Ca++ deposited in bones high blood calcium level uptake in intestines Ca++ (10 mg/100mL) low activated Vitamin D bones release Ca++ kidney reabsorbs Ca++ parathyroid Parathyroid hormone Feedback Female reproductive cycle egg matures & is released (ovulation) estrogen builds up uterus lining corpus luteum ovary Progestins fertilized egg FSH & LH maintains uterus lining HCG yes pregnancy GnRH hypothalamus no corpus luteum breaks down progesterone drops menstruation progesterone maintains uterus lining Any Questions??
