Endocrinology — Flashcards

Thyroid, Pituitary, & Adrenal _____ stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1

The main functions of thyroid hormone can be remembered with the "6 B's"?1. _____2. Bone growth3. 1-adrenergic effects 4. Basal metabolic rate (increased) 5. Blood sugar6. Break down lipids

Obesity _____ the conversion of T4 to T3, thus increasing the amount of active hormone

In bone, 1,25-(OH)2 D3 acts syngergistically with PTH to stimulate _____ activity and bone resorption

In bone, PTH receptors are located on _____, but not on osteoclasts

The effects of cortisol may be remembered with the mnemonic "A BIG FIB": A: _____B: Blood pressure (increased, via alpha1)I: Insulin resistance (increased)G: Gluconeogenesis (increased)F: Fibroblast activity (decreased)I: Inflammatory/Immune response (decreased)B: Bone formation (decreased)

One major effect of thyroid hormone is increased _____ with a resultant increase in BMR and body temperature, due to increased Na/K+-ATPase activity

Glucocorticoids _____ glucose utilization by tissues and decrease insulin sensitivity of adipose tissue

Parathyroid hormone is secreted in response to decreased plasma _____ and 1,25-(OH)2 D3

Initially and transiently, PTH causes an increase in bone _____ by a direct action on osteoblasts
