GnRH gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist / suppressor
⬆️luteinizing hormone / follicle stimulating hormone
⬇️ suppress fsh / lh secretion
Follitropin
Activates fsh receptors
Treat to induce sperm/ ovum development
Oxytoxin
Promote labour by contracting uterus
Gonadal hormones & inhibitor
Estrogen
Progesterone
Relaxin
Estrogen & progesterone inhibitor
Androgen (testosterone)
Androgen suppression
Estrogen
Female sex hormone
Develop sexual character
Menopause
Stop of menstrual cycle
Significant drop in Estrogen level
Short term: hot flush, sleeplessness
Long term: osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease
Treatment: hormone replacement therapy HRT
Estrogen vs osteoporosis
Estrogen prevent parathyroid hormone resorb bones
Menopause decrease level of Estrogen
Hormone replacement therapy provide supplements Estrogen
Less bone resorption -) less osteoporosis
Risk of HRT
Uterus bleeding -) endometrium cancer
Breast cancer
Estrogen & progesterone inhibitor
Prevent breast cancer
Mifepristone-) 事後
Hypothyroidism treatment
Liothyronine T3 / levothyroxine T4
-) activate nuclear receptor
-) metabolism⬆️
Hyperthyroidism treatment
Beta blocker
⬇️metabolic rate
Radioactive iodine
Destruct thyroid cell
Adrenocorticosteroids & adrenocortical antagonist
Sufficient: assison’s disease-) weight loss, hypotension
Hyper: Cushing syndrome-) moon face, hypertension, gain weight
Hormone affect urine
Aldosterone: sodium retention
Hypotension: maintain fluid and bp
Type 1 dm vs type 2 dm
Type 1: autoimmune destructed beta cell, required insulin injection to suppress
Type 2: insulin resistant, treat with
1. Stimulate insulin release by binding to sulfonylurea receptor.
2. Reduce glucose level by action of liver, muscle or adipose emissive( metformin)
Bone mineral homeostasis issues
Hyperphosphatemia
Treat by 1. Restrict of phosphate intake ( diet )
Calcium supplement
Hypophosphatemia
Hypercalcemia
1. Calcitonin
2. Phosphate
Hypocalcemia
1. Calcium intake
2. Vitamin D intake
Osteoporosis
1. Vitamin D
2. Biphosphonates ( suppress osteoclast ) ⬇️bone resorption ⬆️bone formation
