Presentation Transcript

  1. Hypothalamic Hormones

  2. Hypothalamus →ADH & Oxytocin → neuro- secretory axons→Posterior pituitary • Hypothalamus → Hormones → network of capillaries (portal system)→ Anterior pituitary • ACTH, TSH, LH, FSH ( stimulatory control) • GH, PRL, MSH (stimulatory and inhibitory control)

  3. General characteristics of hypothalamic hormones: TRH, CRH, GHRH, GHIH, GnRH, Dopamine (DA) • Small peptides and polypeptides ( exception DA) of low M.W • Needed in very low concentrations (pg) • Have short t1/2 • Act on receptors on plasma membrane

  4. TRH (Protirelin) Tri-peptide, synthetic analogs are available, effective orally and I.V, stimulates TSH synthesis and release, MOA via cAMP, phospholipase C to increase intracellular IP3 Mainly used: - As a diagnostic tool (TRH test) - To treat certain cases of hypothyroidism Dose: 50 μg I.V, 5 mg orally, maximum response in 15-30 min, DOA 2-4 hrs

  5. CRH 41 a.a peptide stimulates synthesis and release of ACTH, stress ↑ CRH release Diagnostic use • GHRH (Hexarelin, Sermorelin) 40 a.a peptide, synthetic given I.V Dignostic use and in the management of certain cases of dwarfism

  6. GHIH (Somatostatin) 14 a.a peptide ↓ secretion of GH, ACTH, TSH, Insulin, Glucagon, Gastrin, Serotonin Its effects on blood glucose levels are dose dependent Low doses → hypoglycemia (↓ glucagon secretion) High dose → hyperglycemia (↓ insulin secretion)

  7. Octreotide (given S.C) & Lanreotide (given I.M) Synthetic analogs to somatostatin with longer t1/2 (1.5 hrs) mainly used in the management of: • Acromegaly • Carcinoid syndrome • Insulinomas, gastrinomas • Esophageal varices • ?? Diabetes mellitus Major side effects: Gall bladder stone formation and platelet abnormalities
