The hypotalamic hormones are released from the hypothalamic nerve fiber endings around the capillaries of the hypothalamic_hypophysial system in the pituitary stalk and reach the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland through the special portal system
![Page 3: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

The hypothalamic releasing hormones are released in a pulsatile manner
The pituitary gland is a pea_sized oval organ encased in a bone cavity of the skull (sella turcica) below the brain
The pituitary gland is divided into 2 lobes: the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) is embryo logically part of the brain and consists largely of neurones which have cell bodies in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus
![Page 5: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Hormones of the posterior pituitary are synthesızed and packed in supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, transported along axons and stored in the posterior pituitary before release in the circulation
The anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) accounts approximately 80% of the gland, is embryologically derived from ectoderm, has no direct anatomic continuity with the brain
![Page 7: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Both posterior and anterior pituitary hormones are controlled largely by the hpothalamus
The hypothalamus functions as an integrative center which orchestrates a large number of endocrine and neural processes, and entrains them to relevant external stimuli
![Page 8: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The endocrine systems that involve the hypothalamus, pituitary and downstream organs are usually termed “AXES” and are most usefully viewed as functional units for the purposes of clinical diagnosis and managemant

Growth hormone releasing hormone(GHRH)44_amino acid peptide synthesized as a part of
a 108_amino acid prohormone in the arcuate and ventromedial nuclei of hypothalamus and median eminence
GHRH + R --------adenyl cyclase --------calcium-calmodulin system
GH secretion

Negative feedback from GH and IGF-1
GHRH
SOMATOSTATİN
![Page 15: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Growth hormone releasing inhibiting hormone: somatostatin(GHRIH)2 forms 14_amino acids 28_amino acids Produced from the same 116_amino acid
gene productSomatostatin and its receptors are found
throughout the brain, and in other organs, notably gut
![Page 16: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Binding of somatostatin to its receptor is coupled to adenyl cyclase by an inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein- cAMP
Somatostatin inhibits: TSH INSULIN
GLUCAGON GASTRIN
![Page 17: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
![Page 18: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Growth hormone(GH), prolactin and chorionic somatotropin(CS: plasental lactogen) constitute one hormone groupThey range in size from 190_199 amino acidsEach has a single tryptophan residueEach has 2 homologous disulfide bondsShare common antigenic determinants All have growth promoting and lactogenic
activity
![Page 19: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
GHSynthesized in somatotropes, a subclass of the
pituitary acidophilic cellsReleased in bursts with a periodicity of 3-4
hours and greatest secretory activity occurs during sleep no meaningful referance interval
Provocative tests / multipl samples over the course of a day
GH is essential for postnatal growth and for normal carbohydrate, lipid and nitrogen metabolism:
![Page 20: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Transport of amino acids into muscle cells (during growth)
Protein synthesis RNA synthesis like insulin DNA synthesis
![Page 21: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
GH antogonizes the effects of insulin in carbohydrate metabolism:
Peripheral utilization of glucose + gluconeogenesis hyperglycemia
İnhibition of glycolysis in muscle Prolonged GH administration may result in
diabetes mellitus
![Page 22: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
GH promotes the release of free fatty acids and glycerol from adipose tissue,lipolysis (hormone sensitive lipase activity )
Oxidation of free fatty acids in liver Prolactin like effects such as stimulation of
mammary glands lactogenesisGH or more likely IGF-1 promotes (+) Ca,Mg
and phosphate balance and causes the retention of Na, K, Cl (like IGF-1)
![Page 23: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
During hypoglycemia GH stimulates lipolysis and induces peripheral resistance to insulin
The indirect growth-releated actions of GH are mediated by IGF-1 :
Promoting the proliferation of chondrocytes and the synthesis of cartilage matrix in skeletal tissues: stimulating linear growth
![Page 24: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor 1):
70 amino-acid single chain basic peptideHomology with proinsulinActs like a paracrin hormoneLiver is the major source of circulating IGF-1
whose function is primarly feedback inhibition of GH secretion
![Page 25: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
In plasma and other extracellular fluids, IGF-
1 is complexed to IGF-1 bindings proteins (IGFBPs)
IGF-1 works through the type 1 IGF receptor (similar to insulin receptor) and linked to intracellular tyrosine kinase activity
![Page 26: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Plasma reference interval for IGF-1 in adults aged 20-60 years is fairly constant -a good marker of integrated GH activity
Lower in young children, rises dramatically during period of growth and progression through puberty , falls after 6th. decade of life
![Page 27: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
IGF-2
67 amino acidsHas activity similar/ identical to
multiplication stimulating activity(MSA)Plasma levels are twice those of IGF-1
![Page 28: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Clinical disorders of GH section pathophysiologyBasal IGF-1 or IGFBP-3 measurements may
serve as a preliminary screening test GH deficient dwarfs respond normally to
endogenous GH (regular injection of recombinant human GH)
![Page 30: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Two types of target organ resistance have been described :1-Laron type dwarfs GH levels IGF-1 levels Lack of functional hepatic GH receptors2-PygmiesGH level normal Post GH receptor defect IGF-1 level
![Page 31: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Increased GH secreton later in life, after fusion of bony epiphyses, causes ACROMEGALY
The most likely cause is a pituitary adenoma

Prolactin axis23KD a proteinHomologous to GH Secreted by lactotropes ,acidophilic cells in
the anterior pituitary The number of these cells and their size
increase dramatically during pregnancyİt is under predominantly inhibitory control
from the hypothalamus
![Page 37: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dopamine is an inhibitor of prolactin secretion
TRH has prolactin-releasing properties The primary role ın humans occurs during
pregnancy when PRL binds to its receptor in mammary tissue and stimulates the synthesis of milk proteins, including lactalbumin
![Page 38: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PRL blocks FSH action on follicular estrogen secretion and enhances progesterone levels by inhibiting steroid metabolizing enzymes
Hyperprolactinemia may result from:Prolactinoma (prolactin secreting pituitary
tm)Deficient supply of dopamine from
hypothalamus Use of antidopaminergic drugs
![Page 39: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

The hypothalamo-pituitary thyroid axis
TRH_manufactured in the hypothalamus and transported to the anterior pituitary by the portal circulation
Modified tripeptide, synthesized in pulsatile fashion
TRH stimulates TSH synthesis and secretion by binding to G_protein coupled receptors on the pituitary thyroptroph cell membrane, that are linked to phospholipase C IP3 Ca release
preformed TSH secretion
![Page 42: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Chronic actions of TRH: stimulation of TSH subunit biyosynthesis and
TSH glycosylationThe number of TRH receptors are down
regulated bythyroid hormones and TRH
![Page 43: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
TSH(THYROTROPIN)Small glycoprotein, synthesized by pituitary
thyrotrophs α chain is identical to other glycoprotein
hormones (LH,FSH,β HCG)Specificity is conferned by the β-chain Pulsatil and circadian rhythmTSH, like TRH, acts via a specific G_protein
coupled receptoradenyl cyclasecAMP dependent protein kinase
![Page 44: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
TSH controls every aspect of thyroid hormone biosynthesis and secretion :
iodide transportİodothyronine formationThyroglobulin proteolysisThyroxine de_iodination
![Page 45: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
TSH also stimulates growth of thyroid gland Negative feedback by thyroid hormones occurs
at both hypothalamic and pituitary levels At the pituitary level, T4 and T3 inhibit TSH
secretion (through regulation of gene transcription and TSH glycosylation)
T3 is a more potent feedback inhibitor than T4 Much of feedback inhibition by T4 requires its
conversion to T3 by de_iodinase type2
![Page 46: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
THE HYPOTHALAMO-PITUITARY-ADRENAL AXISCorcototropin releasing factor(CRF)41 amino acid peptide secreted by PVNActs via G_protein coupled receptorcAMP second messenger system ; to stimulate
both synthesis and secretion of ACTHVasopressin(VP) potentiates the response of
the pituitary to CRHNegative feedback by cortisol inhibits both
CRH and VP secretion
![Page 47: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
![Page 48: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Adrenocorticotropic horomone(ACTH)Synthesized as a 241_amino acid precursor
molecule,pro_opiomelanocortin (POMC)POMC is cleaved at multiple sites to release
hormonally active peptides,endorphins and MSH
POMC may be produced in large quantities by certain malignancies , giving rise to ectopic ACTH syndrome
![Page 49: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
![Page 50: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
ACTH is composed of 39_amino acids with biologic activity in the N_terminal 24 residues
Secreted in stress-releated bursts, diurnal rhythm with a peak at 05.00 h.
Transported unbound in plasma, half life~ 10min.
ACTH stimulates the synthesis and release of glucocorticoid hormones by enhancing the conversion of cholestrol to pregnenolone
![Page 51: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
ACTH increases adrenal cortical growth (the trophic effect) by enhancing protein and RNA synthesis.
Negative feedback by cortisol occurs at both the hypothalamic and pituitary levels:
Fast feedback alters the release of CRH and CRH_mediated ACTH secretion, slow feedback results from reduced synthesis of CRH plus supression of POMC gene transcription, which results in reduced ACTH sytnhesis
![Page 52: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

THE HYPOTHALAMO-PITUITARY-GONADAL AXISGonadotropin releasing hormone(GnRH)Decapeptide synthesized by various
hypothalamic nuclei and transported to the pituitary by portal system
Secreted in a pulsatile fashion Induces the synthesis and secretion of both
FSH and LHHas a major role in the gonadal funcion in
both males and females
![Page 54: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Its release is subject to negative feedback by progesterone, prolactin and sometimes estrogen
GnRH mechanism :Ca (intracellular)Hydrolyes phospho inositides Activates protein kinase C
![Page 55: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Long acting GnRH agonists can cause downregulation of GnRH receptors and reduced FSH and LH secretion
( to treat prostate cancer, to prepare infertile women for assisted_conception programs)
![Page 56: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
GONADOTROPHINS (FSH,LH,β HCG)FSH and LH are glycoproteins with an
identical α_subunit (also shared with TSH ) and a specific β_subunit

POSTERIOR PITUITARY HORMONES
Antidiuretic hormone(ADH)(VASOPRESSIN)Nonapeptide, containing cysteine moleculesTo promote reabsorption of water from the
distal renal tubulesPrimaly synthesızed in the supraoptic
nucleus,transported through axons with neurophysins(neurophysin II)
Circulates unbound to proteins
![Page 66: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Increased osmolality of plasma (mediated by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus, by baroreceptors in the heart and other regions of vascular system) is the primary physiologic stimulus
Other stimuli: emotional and physical stress, acetylcholine, nicotine,morphine
Hemodulition has the opposite effects
![Page 67: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Epinephrine and ethanol inhibit ADH secretion
In the absence of ADH, the urine is not concentrated and may be excreted in amounts exceeding 2L/day
ADH permits osmotic equilibration of the collecting tubule urine with hypertonic interstitium
![Page 68: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
There are 2 types of ADH or vasopressin receptor:
V1 extreranal (activation of phospholipase C IP3 + DAG Ca + activation of protein kinase C)
![Page 69: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
A major effect of V1 receptors is vasoconstriction and increased peripheral vascular resistance
V2 on the surface of renal epithelial cells (cAMP dependent)cAMP and inhibitors of phosphodiesterase
activity (caffeine) mimic the actions of ADH

PATHOPHYSIOLOGYAbnormalities of ADH secretion/action
Diabetes Insipidus(DI)
excretion of large amounts of dilute urine
![Page 71: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Primary DI; insufficient amounts of hormone, may be due to the destruction of
hypothalamic-hypophysial tract(a basal skull fracture, tm, infection)
Hereditary nephrogenic DI; ADH secretion is normalA receptor defect (+)
![Page 72: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Acquired nephrogenic DI;Mostly due to pharmacologic administration
of lithium for manic-depressive illnessInappropriate secretion of ADH;Ectopic production by tumors(usually lung),
brain diseases, pulmonary infection, hypothyroidism
![Page 73: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
ADH is produced at a normal or increased rate in the presence of hypoosmolality
persistent and progressive dilutional hyponatremia with excretion of hypertonic urine
![Page 74: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
OXYTOCINNonapeptide, containing cysteine moleculePhysylogical role is to promote milk ejection
from the mammary gland (by stimulating contraction of myoepithelial cells around mammary alveoli)
![Page 75: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
To stimulate uterus smooth muscle contraction induce labor
Synthesized in the PVN, transported through axons in association with neurophysin I
Neural impulses from stimulation of nipples are the primary stimulus
Vaginal and uterine distention are secondary stimuli
![Page 76: PİTUİTARY and HYPOTHALAMİC HORMONES](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020210/56814cf9550346895dba0ed0/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
PRL is released by many of the stimuli that release oxytocin .
Estrogen stimulates and progesterone inhibits oxytocin and neurophysin I production
Receptors are found in both uterus and mammary tissues
(upregulated by estrogen down regulated by progesterone)
