Document Summary
Pomc acth + lipotropin + endorphin + fragment) **** Acth involved in cortisol stimulation the products can also cleave and produce other hormones. Acth alpha-msh and clip. beta-lipotropin lipotropin + endorphin. Testicule shrinking (atrophy), breast development, frontal balding. high levels of dht in females (in females): Abnormal facial hair growth, overweight, stop menstruating. Bp cases have to do with aldosterone. hyperglycemia case cortisol. (overweight, stria or purple streaks across adomen, hypertensive) the types hormones made depends on which enzymes are present in the cell. Acth will stimulate the gland that produce the hormones. Adrenal cortex made of 3 different layers (gfr): zona glomerulosa -> aldosterone, zona fisiculata -> cortisol, zona riticularis -> androgen(steroid) Each responsible for producing a specific hormone. if cortex isn"t functioning properly hyperpigmentation. the medulla will produce adrenaline and na. ovaries produce estradiol, via fsh and lh. T3/t4 enter cell, receptor in cells or nucleus, directly affect transcription.
