BIOLOGY 3UU3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Brainstem, Immune System, Survivorship Curve
Document Summary
Receptors located in the hippocampus, suggesing extra processing going on. Receptors in hippocampus in a negaive feedback loop. Ater gh axis is suppressed, (at the end of slow wave sleep and anabolic tor phase), foxo stress resistance phase comes up with a rise in stress hormone axis. The clock and its iming in the circadian period. Adrenal gland is a target of the stress axis. Clock hooked up to adrenal gland adrenal gland is an extension of the clock. Corisol and gh are 180 degrees out of phase. Corisol inhibits secreion of growth hormone, doesn"t allow it to be secreted unil values fall to lowest level. Build up huge supplies of protein gh transcripion and translaion buildup. If you look at sa during dayime, and if its elevated, within 2 hours of going to sleep, you have much higher peaks of growth hormone. Preprotein acth is spliced from also makes a bunch of other hormones.
