Addisons disease develops when the adrenal cortex does not secrete enough mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. President John F. Kennedy was diagnosed with the disease when he was a young man. Before he started treatment with hormone replacement therapy, he was hypoglycemic and lost weight. Which missing hormone was responsible for his weight loss? How might Addisons disease have affected his blood pressure?
The secretion of which of these hormones would be increased in a person with endemic goiter?TSHThyroxineTriiodothyronineAll of these
Conn’s syndrome is a condition caused by tumors of the adrenal cortex that secrete high amounts of aldosterone in an unregulated manner. What would you expect to be the major symptom of this disorder?
Hormones are often synthesized and stored in an inactiveform within secretory vesicles. Secretion usually occurs onlywhen the hormone-producing cell is stimulated. Explain theadvantages that this process has over making the hormonemolecules as they are needed.
The hormone least likely to be diabetogenic in excess is: cortisol GH hCG hPL 2. A patient has hypercortisolism, and the MRI results indicate that there is hyperplasia of the right adrenal but the left adrenal appears smaller than normal. What does this generally indicate about the origin of the adrenal disorder? the adrenal hyperfunction most likely results from a secondary or tertiary disorder producing pituitary ACTH hypersecretion. the adrenal hyperfunction is most likely a result of an ACTH-secreting nonadrenal tumor. the adrenal hyperfunction is most likely a primary disorder resulting from malfunction of the adrenal gland. the hypercortisolism is probably not a result of an adrenal disorder but rather is the result of exogenous administration of glucocorticoids
Describe the effect on the natural secretion of hormonefrom the pituitary gland and the adrenal gland when largeamounts of glucocorticoids are administered.
What are the hormonessecreted by the adrenalmedulla? What are theirrespective functions?
All of the following steroid hormone synthesis occur in the adrenal cortex EXCEPT a. Cortisol b. Androgens c. Estrogens d. Aldosterone
Over the past year, Julie has gradually gained weight. The increasein adipose tissue is distributed over her trunk, face, and neck, and hermuscle mass appears to be decreased. Julie also feels weak and bruiseseasily. Her physician suspects Cushing syndrome and orders a seriesof blood tests. The results reveal elevated blood levels of cortisol andACTH. There is no evidence of an extrapituitary source of ACTH.Predict the cause of Julie’s condition and the treatments that are likelyto be recommended
In patients receiving cortisone drug therapy, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion decreases, and the adrenal glands shrink. Using your knowledge of the HPA axis, feedback mechanisms, and the tropic functions of hormones, explain why patients experience these changes.
