Stress hormones
18 important questions on Stress hormones
Describe the growth hormone axis.
What are the effects of growth hormone?
- Inhibition of glucose uptake and utilization
- Increased AA uptake and protein synthesis
- FA mobilization (in fat cells)
- FA uptake and utilization (in muscle)
- Protein synthesis (in muscle)
- KB synthesis (in liver)
- Glucose and somatomedins release (in liver) (negative feedback)
Why does growth hormone increase under stress and fasting conditions?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is a circadian rhythm?
What is the circadian rhythm of GH?
What are the effects of glucocorticoids?
- In fat cells: breakdown of lipids and release of FA (mobilize FA as energy source)
- In the liver: stimulates gluconeogenesis, release of glucose, and deamination of AA
- In the muscle: proteins are broken down (net loss of AA)
What is the circadian rhythm of the HPA-axis?
There are different types of stress responses. What are these and what is the difference?
- Release of adrenaline: more alertness
What is the exhaustion phase?
What is Addison's disease?
- Primary: cortisol production not sufficient
- Secondary: ACTH production not sufficient
What is Cushing's disease?
What is upper body obesity?
What is the function of the thyroid hormones?
What is the circadian rhythm of the HPT-axis?
How is thyroid hormone synthesized?
How are the thyroid hormones transported?
How can you treat myxedema?
How can you treat Graves' disease?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
