1 The Endocrine System
2 Outline • Types of Regulatory Molecules • Endocrine Glands and Hormones • Paracrine Regulation • Hormones That Enter Cells • Hormones That Do Not Enter Cells • Posterior and Anterior Pituitary Gland • Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands • Adrenal Glands • Other Endocrine Glands
3 SIGNALING AGENTS & FACTORS Neurotransmitters Peptides Oxygen-based molecules, e.g., NO Prostanoids Hormones Cytokines ( some are Chemokines) Extracellular-matrix molecules Nutrients & metabolites Mechanical stimuli, e.g., fluid shear Cell-surface glycoproteins Hormones from endocrine cells & organs are part of a much larger picture of the outside controls on cells Heat, osmolarity, exogenous chemicals, etc ENDOCRINE
4 Types of Regulatory Molecules • Hormone – A regulatory chemical secreted into the blood by an endocrine gland, or an organ exhibiting endocrine function. • Target Cells respond to hormone – Neurohormone – A chemical messenger secreted by neuron into the blood rather than the synaptic cleft. • Paracrine - regulatory molecules work without being transmitted by the blood – not endocrine • Pheromone - communication messengers

6 Endocrine Glands and Hormones • Hormones secreted by the endocrine glands belong to four chemical categories: – Polypeptides - short chains of amino acids less than 100 amino acids (insulin & ADH) – Glycoproteins- longer than100 A.A. with carbs (FSH and LH) – Amines - Amines – A.A. derived from tyrosine and tryptophan – epinephrine and norepinephrine and melatonin – Steroids - lipids derived from cholesterol  sex steroids - testosterone, estadiol, progesterone, and cortisol – secreted by testes, ovaries, placenta and adrenal cortex  Corticosteroids - adrenal cortex cortisol and aldosterone (regulates glucose and salt balance) – All hormones can be categorized as lipophilic (fat soluble) or hydrophilic (water soluble).
7 Endocrine Glands and Hormones • Neural and endocrine interactions – Endocrine system also interacts and cooperates with the nervous system to regulate the activities of the other organ systems of the body. – Secretory activity of many endocrine glands controlled by nervous system like  Adrenal medulla, posterior pituitary, and pineal gland  major site for neural regulation is the brain’s regulation of the anterior pituitary by the hypothalmus However many are not under neural control

14 Paracrine Regulation • Signaling between cells - Local effect and short-lived occurs in many organs • Regulatory molecules – cytokines - regulate different cells of the immune system – growth factors - promote growth and cell division in specific organs – stimulate cell division at target cells
15 Paracrine Regulation • Prostaglandins – most diverse group of paracrine regulators • participate in regulation of: – immune system – inflammation, pain and fever – reproductive system – reproductive function ovulation, labor, – digestive system – inhibit gastric secretions, incrfease motility and fluid absorption – respiratory system - blood vessels constriction and dilation in lungs – circulatory system - blood platelets in blood clotting – urinary system - renal blood flow vasodilation increasing urine excretion • Prostaglandin synthesis inhibited by aspirin. – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug  Ibuprofen  Work to inhibit inflammation and pain by inhibiting enzyme necessary to produce prostaglandins – (cyclooxygenase -2)
16 Hormones That Enter Cells • Lipophilic hormones pass through the target cell’s plasma membrane and bind to intracellular receptor proteins. – hormone receptor complex then binds to specific regions of DNA  activate genes and regulate target cells
17 Steroid Hormone Action
18 Hormones That Do Not Enter Cells • Hormones that are too large or too polar to cross plasma membranes include all of the peptide and glycoprotein hormones, as well as catecholamine hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine. – bind to receptor proteins located on the outer surface of the plasma membrane  cyclic AMP second-messenger system  IP3/CA++ second-messenger system
19 Action of Epinephrine on a Liver Cell 1. Epinephrine is lipophobic and needs to bind to specific receptor proteins on cell surface. 2. Acting through intermediary G proteins the hormone bound receptor activates the enzyme adenenylyl cyclase which converts ATP to cAMP 3. Cyclic AMP performs as a 2ndary messenger and activates protein kinase-A an enzyme that was previously inactive 4. Protein kinase–A phosphorylates and activates the enzyme phosphorylase which catalyses the hydrolysis of glycogen into glucose.
20 IP3/CA++ Second-Messenger System 1. The hormone epinephrine binds to specific receptor proteins on the cell surface. 2. Acting through G- proteins, the hormone-bound receptor activates the enzyme phospholipase C, which converts membrane phospholipids into inositol triphosphate (IP3) 3. IP3 diffuses thru the cytoplasm and binds to receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum 4. The binding of IP3 to the receptor stimulates the endoplasmic reticulum to release Ca++ into the cytoplasm 5. Some of the released Ca++ binds to the receptor protein called calmodulin 6. The Ca++/Calmodulin complex activates other intracellular proteins – producing the horomone effects
21 Primary endocrine organs • Hypothalamus and pituitary gland secrete hormones and regulate other endocrine organs. They are the main regulatory organs of the endocrine system.
22 Hypothalamus • Located below the thalamus and above the pituitary gland (=epiphysis) • Regulates the pituitary gland secretions through two different mechanisms
23 Hypothalamus - neurohypophysis • 1- Neurons, receiving information from receptors, fire APs which travel down to the post pituitary gland and stimulate the release of stored neurohormones – Oxytocin (OT) and antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
24 Hormones of the posterior pituitary Regulation Hormone Target organ Action Pathology Reflex Oxytocin - Uterus (smooth muscle) - breast tubules (smooth muscles) -labor and delivery - milk-let down -- -- Reflex (osmoreceptor) ADH (vasopressin) - DCT in kidney tubules - promote H2O reabsorption - not enough: diabetes insipidus - too much: ↑ BP?
25 Hypothalamus – adenohypophysis • 2- Upon stimulation, secretory cells located in the hypothalamus secrete “releasing” hormones which travel down a capillary bed toward the anterior pituitary gland (adenopituitary). Each type of releasing hormones will stimulate the secretion and release of a pituitary hormone. • Hormones which control the secretion of other hormones are tropic hormones (found in hypothalamus and pituitary gland

Stimulate cell growth and cell division - not enough: children  pituitary dwarfism too much: gigantism (children) – acromegaly (adult) PRH - PIH Prolactin (PL) Breast secretory cells - milk secretion -- TRH Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Thyroid gland - promote thyroid gland secretion (T3 and T4) - not enough: hypothyroidism (cretinism in children) - too much: hyperthyroidism CRH Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Adrenal cortex (3 layers) - stimulates secretion of adrenal cortex - not enough: Addison's disease - too much: Cushing syndrome GnRH Gonadotropin - Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) - Luteinizing hormone (LH) Stimulate gamete maturation Stimulate gonadal gland secretion and gamete formation - infertility

32 Unlike some other endocrine cells, those of the anterior pituitary separate their supplying a hormone from the detection of the need for the hormone. The sensitivity to need is performed by hypothalamic neurons, which can coordinate requirements for several hormones with drives, and events outside the person. Anterior-pituitary cells & hormones The system also allows for control by inhibitory factors, as well as + driving hormone-releasing factors

49 Posterior Pituitary Gland • Pituitary gland hangs by a stalk from the hypothalamus of the brain. – anterior pituitary - appears glandular – posterior pituitary - appears fibrous • Neurons produce antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and oxytocin. – stored in, and released from, the posterior pituitary gland in response to neural stimulation from the hypothalamus
50 Effects of ADH
51 Anterior Pituitary Gland • Develops from a pouch of epithelial tissue that pinches off the roof of the embryo’s mouth. – produces the hormones it secretes:  growth hormone (GH) stimulates muscles and bones to grow  adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) regulates glucose homeostasis  thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulates the production of thyroxin by thyroid gland  luteinizing hormone (LH) ovulation and testosterone production in testes  follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) develops ovarian follicle and sperm in males  prolactin (PRL) stimulates mammary glands to produce milk  melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) synthesis and dispersion of melanin pigment
52 Major Pituitary Gland Hormones
53 Anterior Pituitary Gland • Hypothalamic control of anterior pituitary gland secretion – Neurons in the hypothalamus secrete releasing hormones and inhibiting hormones into blood capillaries at the base of the hypothalamus.  Each hormone delivered by hypothalamohypophysial portal system regulates secretion or inhibition of a specific anterior pituitary hormone.
54 Neurons in the hypothalamus secretes hormones that are carried by short blood vessels directly to the ant. Pituitary gland, where they either stimulate or inhibit the secretions of the ant pituitary hormones Cell body Axons to primary capillaries Primary capillaries Pituitary stalk Posterior pituitary Anterior pituitary Secondary capillaries Portal venules
55 Anterior Pituitary Gland • Negative feedback inhibition acts to maintain relatively constant levels of the target cell hormone. – Positive feedback cannot maintain constancy of the internal environment.
56 Negative Feedback Inhibition Hormones secreted by some endocrine glands feed back to inhibit the secretion of hypothalamic releasing hormones and anterior pituitary hormones
57 Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands • Thyroid gland – Shaped like a shield and lies just below the Adam’s apple in the front of the neck.  Thyroxine helps set basal metabolic rate by stimulating the rate of cell respiration.  In children, thyroid hormones also promote growth and stimulate maturation of the central nervous system.  unique function in amphibians - metamorphosis from larvae into adults
58 Regulation of Thyroxine Secretion
59 Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands • Parathyroid gland and calcium homeostasis – four small glands attached to the thyroid  produces parathyroid hormone (PTH)  one of only two hormones in humans that are absolutely essential for survival  stimulates osteoclasts in bone to dissolve calcium phosphate crystals and release Ca++ into the blood

63 THYROID GLAND Follicular cells simple cuboidal epithelium Colloid / Thyroglobulin glycoprotein = PAS+ Follicles for storage C cells/ Parafollicular cells Capillaries In the section, the follicles do not hold their spherical shape this well, and the colloid displays knife chatters and variable staining
64 THYROID GLAND: Physiological variablity Follicular cells high cuboidal when very active; squamous when inactive Colloid / Thyroglobulin less in active state, excessive in goitre Follicles - size varies inversely with activity C cells/ Parafollicular cells for calcitonin Capillaries
65 GOLGI Amino acids Sugars Iodine Thyroglobulin Endocytosis Cleavage Release of hormones T3 & T4 Synthesis & iodination of thyroglobulin THYROID FOLLICULAR CELL TSH
66 Goiter • Both hypo and hyperthyroidism can have goiter as a symptom • Goiter is a swelling of the neck due to hypertrophy of the thyroid gland • How can one explain that?
67 Goiter in hypothyroidism • Most often due to a lack of dietary iodine • The thyroid hormone is unable to synthesize a functional thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) • The person express symptoms of hypothyroidism • The nonfunctional T3/T4 cannot promote a negative feedback on TRH and TSH   the hypotalamus and pituitary gland increase their secretions  the thyroid gland is stimulated to secrete more T3 and T4 … • In children, the lack of functional T3/T4 result in cretinism, a form a mental retardation
68 Goiter in hyperthyroidism • The cells secreting TRH or TSH on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland (respectively) have become abnormal and no longer are sensitive to the negative feedback  they continue to secrete TRH or TSH  continuous stimulation of the thyroid gland with excess thyroid hormones being formed   symptoms of hyperthyroidism
69 PARATHYROID GLAND Oxyphil cells Chief cells Characteristic is the lack of obvious general structural features Small, pale, resemble lymphocytes, but have more cytoplasm Larger, eosinophilic, darker nuclei, packed with mitochondria
70 PARATHYROID GLAND OXYPHIL CELLS CHIEF CELLS have membrane calcium sensors to respond to low Ca2+ by releasing parathyroid hormone /PTH. PTH stimulates osteoclasts to release Ca2+ from bone & has conserving renal effects derivatives of Chief cells

72 ONCOCYTIC CONVERSION As cuboidal epithelia and glands age, a few of their epithelial cells lose most of their normal organelles and fill up with mitochondria. Mitochondria-rich cells are eosinophilic. This event results in two classes of cell: those that are functioning normally and need many mitochondria - gastric parietal cells, renal proximal-tubular cells, striated-duct cells, etc; & non-functional mitochondria-stuffed cells in older epithelia. These have acquired two names: the usual - oncocyte, and, as an exception, the archaic oxyphil cell in the parathyroids. & Hurthle cells in thyroid :
73 Adrenal Glands • Adrenal glands are located above each kidney. – Each gland composed of inner portion (adrenal medulla) and outer layer (adrenal cortex). • Adrenal medulla – receives neural input from axons of sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, and secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine in response
74 Adrenal Glands • Adrenal cortex – Hormones from adrenal cortex are collectively referred to as corticosteroids.  Cortisol maintains glucose homeostasis, and modulates some aspects of the immune response.  Aldosterone stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb Na+ and secrete K+ into the urine.

100 Other Endocrine Glands • Ovaries and testes – produce androgen  secondary sexual characteristics • Pineal gland – secretes melatonin  regulates biological clocks
101 Other Endocrine Glands • Molting and metamorphosis in insects – Hormone secretions influence both molting and metamorphosis in insects.  Brain hormone stimulates production of ecdysone (molting hormone).  high levels cause molting to occur  juvenile hormone  high levels prevent transformation to an adult
102 Other Endocrine Glands • Endocrine disrupting chemicals – chemicals that interfere with hormone function  Any chemical that can bind to receptor proteins and mimic the effects of the hormone is called a hormone agonist.  Any chemical that binds to receptor proteins and has no effect, but blocks the hormone from binding is a hormone antagonist.
