Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 4 • Hormonal Control During Exercise

  2. Chapter 4 Overview • Endocrine system • Hormones (types, receptors, actions) • Endocrine glands and their hormones • Hormonal regulation of metabolism during exercise • Hormonal regulation of fluid and electrolytes during exercise

  3. The Endocrine System • A communication system • Nervous system = electrical communication • Endocrine system = chemical communication • Slower responding, longer lasting than nervous system • Maintains homeostasis via hormones • Chemicals that control and regulate cell/organ activity • Act on target cells • Constantly monitors internal environment

  4. The Endocrine System • Coordinates integration of physiological systems during rest and exercise • Maintains homeostasis during exercise • Controls substrate metabolism • Regulates fluid, electrolyte balance

  5. Figure 4.1

  6. Hormones: Steroid Hormones • Derived from cholesterol • Lipid soluble, diffuse through membranes • Secreted by four major glands • Adrenal cortex (cortisol, aldosterone) • Ovaries (estrogen, progesterone) • Testes (testosterone) • Placenta (estrogen, progesterone)

  7. Hormones: Nonsteroid Hormones • Not lipid soluble, cannot cross membranes • Divided into two groups • Protein/peptide hormones • Most nonsteroid hormones • From pancreas, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, • Amino acid-derived hormones • Thyroid hormones (T3, T4) • Adrenal medulla hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine)

  8. Hormone Secretion • Secreted in bursts (pulsatile) • Plasma concentrations fluctuate over minutes/hours • Concentrations also fluctuate over days/weeks • What triggers or regulates hormone bursts? • Secretion regulated by negative feedback • Hormone release causes change in body • High level of downstream change  secretion • Low level of downstream change  secretion • Example: home thermostat

  9. Hormone Activity • Plasma concentration can be poor indicator of hormone activity • Cells change sensitivity to hormones • Number of receptors on cell surface can change • Downregulation:  number of receptors during high plasma concentration = desensitization • Upregulation:  number of receptors during high plasma concentration = sensitization

  10. Hormone Receptors • Hormones limit scope of their effects by using hormone-specific receptors • No receptor on cell surface = no hormone effect • Hormone only affects tissues with specific receptor • Hormone exerts effects after binding with receptor • Typical cell has 2,000 to 10,000 receptors • Hormone binds to receptor: hormone–receptor complex

  11. Steroid Hormone Actions • Lipid soluble (can cross cell membranes) • Steroid hormone receptors found inside cell, in cytoplasm or nucleus • Hormone–receptor complex enters nucleus • Binds to DNA, direct gene activation • Regulates mRNA synthesis, protein synthesis

  12. Figure 4.2

  13. Nonsteroid Hormone Actions • Not lipid soluble (cannot cross cell membrane) • Receptors on cell membrane  second messengers • Carry out hormone effects • Intensify strength of hormone signal • Common second messengers • Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) • Cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP) • Inositol triphosphate (IP3), diacylglycerol (DAG)

  14. Figure 4.3

  15. Hormones: Prostaglandins • Third class of (pseudo)hormones • Derived from arachidonic acid • Act as local hormones, immediate area • Inflammatory response (swelling, vasodilation) • Sensitize nociceptor free nerve endings (pain)

  16. Endocrine Glands and Their Hormones • Several endocrine glands in body; each may produce more than one hormone • Hormones regulate physiological variables during exercise

  17. Hormonal Regulation of Metabolism During Exercise • Major endocrine glands responsible for metabolic regulation • Anterior pituitary gland • Thyroid gland • Adrenal gland • Pancreas • Hormones released by these glands affect metabolism of carbohydrate and fat during exercise

  18. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Anterior Pituitary Gland • Pituitary gland attached to inferior hypothalamus • Three lobes: anterior, intermediate, posterior • Secretes hormones in response to hypothalamic hormone factors • Releasing factors, inhibiting factors • Exercise  secretion of all anterior pituitary hormones

  19. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Anterior Pituitary Gland • Releases growth hormone (GH) • Potent anabolic hormone • Builds tissues, organs • Promotes muscle growth (hypertrophy) • Stimulates fat metabolism • GH release proportional to exercise intensity

  20. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Thyroid Gland • Secretes triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) • T3 and T4 lead to increases in • Metabolic rate of all tissues • Protein synthesis • Number and size of mitochondria • Glucose uptake by cells • Rate of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis • FFA mobilization

  21. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Thyroid Gland • Anterior pituitary releases thyrotropin • Also called thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) • Travels to thyroid, stimulates T3 and T4 • Exercise increases TSH release • Short term: T4 (delayed release) • Prolonged exercise: T4 constant, T3

  22. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Adrenal Medulla • Releases catecholamines (fight or flight) • Epinephrine 80%, norepinephrine 20% –  Exercise   sympathetic nervous system   epinephrine and norepinephrine • Catecholamine release increases • Heart rate, contractile force, blood pressure – Glycogenolysis, FFA • Blood flow to skeletal muscle

  23. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Adrenal Cortex • Releases corticosteroids • Glucocorticoids • Also, mineralocorticoids, gonadocorticoids • Major glucocorticoid: cortisol –  Gluconeogenesis –  FFA mobilization, protein catabolism • Anti-inflammatory, anti-immune

  24. Endocrine Regulation of Metabolism:Pancreas • Insulin: lowers blood glucose • Counters hyperglycemia, opposes glucagon –  Glucose transport into cells –  Synthesis of glycogen, protein, fat – Inhibits gluconeogenesis • Glucagon: raises blood glucose • Counters hypoglycemia, opposes insulin –  Glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis

  25. Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism During Exercise • Glucose must be available to tissues • Glycogenolysis (glycogen  glucose) • Gluconeogenesis (FFAs, protein  glucose)

  26. Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism During Exercise • Adequate glucose during exercise requires • Glucose release by liver • Glucose uptake by muscles • Hormones that  circulating glucose • Glucagon • Epinephrine • Norepinephrine • Cortisol

  27. Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism During Exercise • Circulating glucose during exercise also affected by • GH:  FFA mobilization,  cellular glucose uptake • T3, T4:  glucose catabolism and fat metabolism • Amount of glucose released from liver depends on exercise intensity, duration

  28. Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism During Exercise • As exercise intensity increases – Catecholamine release  – Glycogenolysis rate  (liver, muscles) • Muscle glycogen used before liver glycogen • As exercise duration increases • More liver glycogen utilized –  Muscle glucose uptake   liver glucose release • As glycogen stores , glucagon levels 

  29. Figure 4.4

  30. Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism During Exercise • Glucose mobilization only half the story • Insulin: enables glucose uptake in muscle • During exercise • Insulin concentrations  • Cellular insulin sensitivity  • More glucose uptake into cells, use less insulin

  31. Figure 4.5

  32. Regulation of Fat Metabolism During Exercise • FFA mobilization and fat metabolism critical to endurance exercise performance • Glycogen depleted, need fat energy substrates • In response, hormones accelerate fat breakdown (lipolysis) • Triglycerides  FFAs + glycerol • Fat stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue • Broken down into FFAs, transported to muscle • Rate of triglyceride breakdown into FFAs may determine rate of cellular fat metabolism

  33. Regulation of Fat Metabolism During Exercise • Lipolysis stimulated by • (Decreased) insulin • Epinephrine • Norepinephrine • Cortisol • GH • Stimulate lipolysis via lipase

  34. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes During Exercise • During exercise, plasma volume , causing –  Hydrostatic pressure, tissue osmotic pressure –  Plasma water content via sweating –  Heart strain,  blood pressure • Hormones correct fluid imbalances • Posterior pituitary gland • Adrenal cortex • Kidneys

  35. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Posterior Pituitary • Posterior pituitary • Secretes antidiuretic hormone (ADH), oxytocin • Produced in hypothalamus, travels to posterior pituitary • Secreted upon neural signal from hypothalamus • Only ADH involved with exercise –  Water reabsorption at kidneys • Less water in urine, antidiuresis

  36. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Posterior Pituitary • Stimuli for ADH release –  Plasma volume = hemoconcentration =  osmolality –  Osmolality stimulates osmoreceptors in hypothalamus • ADH released, increasing water retention by kidneys • Minimizes water loss, severe dehydration

  37. Figure 4.6

  38. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Adrenal Cortex • Adrenal cortex • Secretes mineralocorticoids • Major mineralocorticoid: aldosterone • Aldosterone effects –  Na+ retention by kidneys –  Na+ retention   water retention via osmosis –  Na+ retention   K+ excretion

  39. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Adrenal Cortex • Stimuli for aldosterone release –  Plasma Na+ –  Blood volume, blood pressure –  Plasma K+ • Also indirectly stimulated by  blood volume,  blood pressure in kidneys

  40. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Kidneys • Kidneys • Target tissue for ADH, aldosterone • Secrete erythropoietin (EPO), renin • EPO • Low blood O2 in kidneys  EPO release • Stimulates red blood cell production • Critical for adaptation to training, altitude

  41. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Kidneys • Stimulus for renin (enzyme) release •  Blood volume,  blood pressure • Sympathetic nervous system impulses • Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism • Renin: converts angiotensinogen  angiotensin I • ACE: converts angiotensin I  angiotensin II • Angiotensin II stimulates aldosterone release

  42. Figure 4.7

  44. Figure 4.9

  45. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Osmolality • Osmolality • Measure of concentration of dissolved particles (proteins, ions, etc.) in body fluid compartments • Normal value: ~300 mOsm/kg • Osmolality and osmosis • If compartment osmolality , water drawn in • If compartment osmolality , water drawn out

  46. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Osmolality • Aldosterone and osmosis • Na+ retention   osmolality –  Osmolality   water retention • Where Na+ moves, water follows • Osmotic water movement minimizes loss of plasma volume, maintains blood pressure

  47. Hormonal Regulation of Fluid and Electrolytes: Osmolality • ADH, aldosterone effects persist for 12 to 48 h after exercise • Prolonged Na+ retention  abnormally high [Na+] after exercise • Water follows Na+ • Prolonged rehydration effects
