Hormones Biochemistry
Anterior pituitary hormones • Growth hormone, prolactin, chorionic somatomammotropin group • Growth promoting and lactogenic activity • 190-199 aa • hGHvshCS 85% • hGHvshPRL 35% • Common antigenic determinants • Glycoprotein hormone group • Pro-opiomelanocortin peptide family
Growth hormone (GH) • Synthesis • Somatotropes • Single plypeptide • 22 kDa • 191 aa • Receptor • Cytokine– hematopoietin receptor super family • Single membrane spanning domain
Physiological & biochemical actions • Essential for • Postnatal growth • Normal carbohydrate, lipid ,nitrogen, mineral metabolism • Growth related effects • By IGF-I
Physiological & biochemical actions • Protein synthesis • Increase transport of amino acids into muscle cells • Positive nitrogen balance • Generalized increase in protein synthesis • Decrease plasma and urinary amino acid and urea • Increase synthesis of RNA, DNA • Carbohydrate metabolism • Hyperglycemia • Decreased peripheral utilization of glucose • Hepatic gluconeogenesis • Diabetogen
Physiological & biochemical actions • Impairment of glycolysis • Increase liver glycogen • Lipid metabolism • Lipolysis • Ketogenesis • Mineral metabolism • GH or IGF-I • Growth of long bones at epiphysial plates (appositional or acral growth in adults) • Promote a positive Ca, Mg, P, balance • Retention Na, K, Cl
Physiological & biochemical actions • Prolactin-like effect • Stimulation of mammary glands • Lactogenesis
