Section 1 Reproductive and Hormonal Functions of the Male
Functions of testes • spermatogenesis – seminiferous tubules • secrete hormones – testosterone - by the instestitial cels of Leydig, – inhibin - by Sertoil cells
I. Endocrine Function of Testes • Androgens: testosterone, dihydrotesterone (双氢睾酮) androstenodione (雄烯二酮) • Function of testosterone – Maintenance of spermatogenesis – Stimulation of development of genitalia. – Development and maintenance of the male secondary sexual characteristics. – Maintenance of libido. – Effect on metabolism. • • increases anabolism of protein, causes growth of the bones deposition of calcium salts enhancement of production of red cells.
Endocrine Function of Testes (cont. ) • Inhibin – a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 31, 000 -32, 000 – Secreted by by Sertoil cells in testis – potent inhibitory effect on FSH secretion by pituitary gland. – slightly inhibitory in Gn. RH secretion.
II. Regulation of Testis Function • Hypothalamic-Pituitary -Testis Axis – Gn. RH – FSH, LH – Testerone • Negative Feedback Mechanism – Testosterone – Inhibin • Local regulation in testes
Section 2 Reproductive and Hormonal Functions of the Female
I. Menstruation, Ovulation and Hormonal Regulation • Menstruation cycle or female sexual cycle – Uterine cycle • • • Proliferative phase (estrogen phase) Secretary phase (progesterone phase) Menstruation – Ovarian Cycle • • • Follicular phase Ovulation Luteal phase
Uterine Cycle • Proliferative phase (estrogen phase) • Secretary phase (progesterone phase) • Menstruation
Ovarian Cycle • Follicular phase • Ovulation • Luteal phase
Endocrine Functions of Ovaries • Physiological function of estrogen – On sexual organs – On secondary female sexual characteristics – On metabolism – others • Physiological function of progesterone – on uterus – on breasts – thermogenic effect – others
Section 3. Hormonal control of the menstrual cycle
Section 4 Pregnancy
I. Fertilization and Implantation
II. Hormones of Placenta • Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) • Progesterone and Estrogen • Human Chorionic Somatommotropin (HCS)
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) • glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 39, 000 secreted by the syncytial trophoblast cells can be measured in the blood 8 to 9 days after ovulation Function: • • • identical to LH in its effect maintain the corpus letum
Progesterone and Estrogen • Secreted by corpus luteum before 5 -6 weeks of pregancy and by placenta later • maintain the endometrium and prevent menstruation • Estrogen: cause enlargement of uterus, breasts and mother’s female external genitalia • Progesterone: decrease the contractility of pregnant uterus
Human Chorionic Somatommotropin (HCS) • protein with molecular weight of 38, 000 • begins to be secreted by the placenta at the 5 th week of pregnancy • Secretion in direct proportion to the weight of placenta. • Function – stimulates growth of fetus – regulates metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein in both the fetus and the mother
