Water-soluble (hydrophilic) Lipid-soluble (hydrophobic) Polypeptides Steroids Figure 45. 4 0. 8 nm Insulin Cortisol Amines Epinephrine Thyroxine

Mechanism of regulation n n n 1. Enter the cell Lipophilic Lipid soluble 2. Do not enter the cell Lipophobic Water soluble

(a) Water-soluble hormone; receptor in plasma membrane (b) Lipid-soluble hormone; receptor in nucleus or cytoplasm SECRETORY CELL Lipidsoluble hormone Watersoluble hormone Blood vessel Transport protein Receptor protein TARGET CELL Cytoplasmic response OR Receptor protein Gene regulation Cytoplasmic response NUCLEUS Gene regulation NUCLEUS

Mechanism of regulation n n n n 1. Lipophilic (Steroids, thyroxine) Not water soluble Plasma attached to protein carriers Target cell-release carrier Cross plasma membrane Bind receptor protein (+/- nucleus) Hormone receptor binds DNA Protein synthesis

Lipid-Soluble Hormone

Mechanism of regulation n n n 2. Lipophobic or too large Bind receptors on target cell membrane A. Triggers second-messenger system c. AMP IP 3/Ca+2 B. Causes change in an ion channel

Water-Soluble Hormone

Mechanism of regulation

Mechanism of regulation

Mechanism of regulation

Mechanism of Regulation n n Different effects on different target cells Target cells have different Receptors Signal transduction pathways Epinephrine

(b) Smooth muscle cell in wall of blood vessel that supplies skeletal muscle (a) Liver cell Epinephrine β receptor (c) Smooth muscle cell in wall of blood vessel that supplies intestines Epinephrine α receptor Glycogen deposits Glucose Glycogen breaks down and glucose is released from cell. Blood glucose level increases. Cell relaxes. Cell contracts. Blood vessel dilates, increasing flow to skeletal muscle. Blood vessel constricts, decreasing flow to intestines.


Thyroid n n n n Neck 2 lobes/isthmus T 4 (tetraiodothyronine) thyroxine T 3 (triiodothyronine) Regulates metabolism in the body Calcitonin Stimulates Ca 2+ uptake into bones Decreases serum Ca+2

Thyroid

Parathyroid glands n n n n Neck 4 small glands on top of thyroid PTH (parathyroid hormone) Increase in blood calcium levels Stimulates osteoclasts Break down calcium phosphate crystals Stimulates kidneys to reabsorb Ca 2+ Activates Vitamin D

Parathyroid glands

Pancreas n n n n Abdomen behind stomach Islets of Langerhans Insulin ( cells) Decreases blood glucose levels Stores in glycogen (liver/muscle) & fat (adipose cells) Glucagon ( cells) Increases glucose blood levels

Pancreas


Ovaries n n n Abdomen Estrogen Secondary female characteristics Menstruation Progesterone Prepares/maintains pregnancy

Testes n n n Inguinal region Testosterone Maintain male characteristics

Ovaries and Testes

Steroids

Adrenal glands n n n Small glands on top of kidneys 1. Adrenal cortex Outer layer 2. Adrenal medulla Inner layer

Adrenal glands n n n n Adrenal cortex A. Corticosteriods Cortisol (glucocorticoid) Increases serum levels of glucose Gluconeogenesis Converts aa to glucose Exercise or fasting

Adrenal glands n n n n B. Mineralcorticoids Aldosterone Stimulates kidneys to reabsorb Na+1 Stimulates kidneys to eliminate K+1 C. Gonadocorticoids Androgens Sex characteristics

Adrenal glands n n n Adrenal medulla Catacholamines Epinephrine/norepinephrine Increased heart rate, BP, glucose blood levels, Dilation of bronchioles Decreased blood flow to skin and gut

Adrenal glands

Pituitary gland (hypophysis) n n n n n In the brain Hangs by a stalk from hypothalamus 1. Anterior Adenohypophysis Developed from epithelial tissue 2. Posterior Neurohypophysis Developed from the neural tissue Nerve axons from hypothalamus end here

Pituitary gland

Anterior pituitary gland n n n All hormones stimulate growth in target organs Tropins A. GH (growth hormone) Somatotropin Stimulates muscle growth (bone)

Anterior pituitary gland n n n n B. ACTH Adrenocorticotropic hormone Corticotropin Stimulates adrenal cortex (cortisol) C. TSH Thyroid-stimulating hormone Thyrotropin Stimulates thryroid to produce thyroxine

Anterior pituitary gland n n D. LH Luteinizing hormone Stimulates ovulation & lining of uterus Stimulates testes to produce testosterone

Anterior pituitary gland n n n E. FSH Follicle stimulating hormone Stimulates the egg development Development of sperm F. Prolactin Stimulates mammary glands to produce milk

LH, FSH

Anterior pituitary gland n n n G. MSH Melanocyte-stimulating hormone Regulates skin color in some fish, amphibians & reptiles Regulates pigment distribution in melanocytes Mammals: hunger & pigment
