Endo crine System“inside” “secrete”
• Odd organ system– Compared to nervous sys. &
digestive sys.
• Endocrine glands usually not connected– Considered a “system”
because of functional similarity
• Secrete chemical messages called hormones to target cells “to excite”
Also skin, heart, GI tract, placenta, kidneys, adipose tissue

Principal functions of the endocrine system
• Maintenance of the internal environment in the body (maintaining the optimum biochemical environment).
• Integration and regulation of growth and development.
• Control, maintenance and instigation of sexual reproduction and development.
Glands with a sensing and signaling system which regulates the duration and magnitude of hormone release via feedback from the target cell.

Types of hormones
• Hormones are categorized into four structural groups, with members of each group having many properties in common: – Peptides and proteins (polypeptides)– Amino acid derivatives – Steroids (cholesterol based)
– Fatty acid derivatives - Eicosanoids (mostly paracrines, i.e. leukotrines, prostaglandins)
![Page 5: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Peptides– “Chains” of amino acids
• 4 – 200+ amino acids
– Water soluble– Largest # of hormones
• Hypothalamus• Pituitary (Ant. & Post.)• Islets of Langerhans• Parathyroid hormone• Digestive system

– Triiodothyronine (T3)
• Catecholamines/Adrenal medulla– Epinephrine– Norepinephrine
» Both neurohormones & neurotransmitter
– Tryptophan derivatives (precursor to serotonin and the pineal hormone melatonin)
– Glutamic acid (converted to histamine)

• Steroids– Derivatives of cholesterol
differing in side chains– Four covalently-bonded
rings– Lipid soluble (freely
diffuse, not stored, not packaged)• Adrenal cortex• Gonads
• Examples– Glucocorticoids (cortisol major
representative in mammals) – Mineralocorticoids (aldosterone
most prominent) – Androgens (i.e. testosterone) – Estrogens (i.e. estradiol and
estrone) – Progestogens (i.e. progestins)

• Fatty Acid Derivatives - Eicosanoids – Eicosanoids are a
large group of molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids.
– The principal groups of hormones of this class are prostaglandins, prostacyclins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes.

How does hormone type affect it’s activation of target cells?
![Page 11: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mechanisms of Hormone Action
• Lipid-soluble steroids & thyroid hormones– Diffuse through
plasma membrane– Enter nucleus– Forms “hormone-
receptor complex”– H-R complex binds as
transcription factors to chromosome to activate/inactivate gene(s)
![Page 12: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mechanisms of Hormone Action
• Peptides & water-soluble amines– Hormone (A) binds to
receptor on cell surface
– Activates G- protein– Activates adenylate
cyclase• Converts ATP to cAMP
– cAMP activates protein kinases, which produce final effect.

Mechanisms of Hormone Action
• Peptides & water-soluble amines– Other Hormone (B) binds to
receptor on cell surface– Activates G- protein– Inhibits adenylate cyclase
• Stops ATP to cAMP
– inhibits final effect of first hormone
Which cells are activated by hormones?

Hormone Targets•A cell is a target because is has a specific receptor for the hormone
•Most hormones circulate in blood, coming into contact with essentially all cells. However, a given hormone usually affects only a limited number of cells, which are called target cells.
•A target cell responds to a hormone because it bears receptors for the hormone.

Types of cell-to-cell signaling•Classic endocrine hormones travel via bloodstream to target cells
•Neurohormones are released via synapses and travel via the bloostream
•Paracrine hormones act on adjacent cells
•Autocrine hormones are released and act on the cell that secreted them
•Intracrine hormones act within the cell that produces them
![Page 19: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Response vs. distance traveled
Endocrine action: the hormone is distributed in blood and binds to distant target cells.
Paracrine action: the hormone acts locally by diffusing from its source to target cells in the neighborhood.
Autocrine action: the hormone acts on the same cell that produced it.

Endocrine vs. Nervous System• Major communication
systems in the body• Integrate stimuli and
responses to changes in external and internal environment
• Both are crucial to coordinated functions of highly differentiated cells, tissues and organs
• Unlike the nervous system, the endocrine system is anatomically discontinuous.
![Page 24: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Nervous Sys. vs Endocrine Sys.• The nervous system exerts point-to-
point control through nerves, similar to sending messages by conventional telephone. Nervous control is electrical in nature and fast.
• The endocrine system broadcasts its hormonal messages to essentially all cells by secretion into blood and extracellular fluid. Like a radio broadcast, it requires a receiver to get the message - in the case of endocrine messages, cells must bear a receptor for the hormone being broadcast in order to respond.
![Page 25: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Regulation of hormone secretion
• Sensing and signaling: a biological need is sensed, the endocrine system sends out a signal to a target cell whose action addresses the biological need. Key features of this stimulus response system are:· receipt of stimulus· synthesis and secretion of hormone· delivery of hormone to target cell· evoking target cell response· degradation of hormone
![Page 26: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Receipt of Stimulus• Humoral in response
to changing blood levels• i.e. PTH regulation of Ca2+ via
parathyroid
• Neural in response to nerve fibers • i.e. catecholamines
(norepinephrine & epinephrine) from adrenal medulla
• Hormonal in response to other hormones• i.e. GHRH secreted by
hypothalamus which regulates GH secretion by anterior pituitary
![Page 27: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Inputs to endocrine cells
![Page 28: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Control of Endocrine ActivityThe concentration of hormone as seen by target cells is determined by three factors:
•Rate of production•Rate of delivery
•Permissiveness/Synergism/Antagonism•Upregulation (insipidus)/downregulation
(Type II, melitus)
•Rate of degradation and elimination
What is a feedback loop?
![Page 29: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Feedback Control of Hormone Production
•Feedback loops are used extensively to regulate secretion of hormones
•Negative feedback occurs when a change in a physiological variable triggers a response that counteracts the initial fluctuation
![Page 30: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Negative Feedback• Neurons in the hypothalamus
secrete thyroid releasing hormone (TRH), which stimulates cells in the anterior pituitary to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
• TSH binds to receptors on
epithelial cells in the thyroid gland, stimulating synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, which affect probably all cells in the body
• When blood concentrations of thyroid hormones increase above a certain threshold, TRH-secreting neurons in the hypothalamus are inhibited and stop secreting TRH.
![Page 31: Endocrine System Dr. Annette M. Parrott GPC BIOL1612](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ec05503460f94bcb3d0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Feedback control
• Negative feedback is most common: for example, LH from pituitary stimulates the testis to produce testosterone which in turn feeds back and inhibits LH secretion
• Positive feedback is less common: examples include LH stimulation of estrogen which stimulates LH surge at ovulation
Positive & Negative Feedback
