 Ant pit acidophils make
GH, prolactin"Throw acid in GP's face" 
 EditDelete
a-glucosidase inhibitors
Acarbose, MiglitolInhibit brush border sugar hydrolysis 
 EditDelete
Addison's signs/sx
hypotension, skin hyperpigmentation, weakness, vomitting, diarrhea, sweating
 EditDelete
all hormones are down except prolactin is increased?
Hypothalmus lesion or pit stalk is severed
 EditDelete
Alpha subunit
common to TSH, LH, FSH, hCGB-unit differentiates them 
 EditDelete
Amine hormones are derived from?
TyrosineThyroid, epi, norep 
 EditDelete
Ant pit is derived from?
oral ectoderm
 EditDelete
anti-microsomal Abs
result of thyroid destruction in hashimoto'santi-thyroglobulin too 
 EditDelete

surgical damage of parathyroid, Di George 
 EditDelete
conn's syndrome
primary hyperaldosteronism
 EditDelete
control of prolactin
DA is increased by prolactin and inhibits release from ant pit. TRH stimulates release from ant. pit and is inhibited by T4. 
 EditDelete
Cushing's syndrome, key findings
HTN, hyperglycemia, truncal obeisity, osteoporosis, amenorrhea, etc.
 EditDelete
distinguish Addison's from secondary cause
Addison's has hyperpigmentation from MSH from excess ACTH production from POMC
 EditDelete

Pioglitazone, Rosiglitazone, (Troglitzone off market)Increase target cell response to insulinSE:Fluid retention-->don't give to CHF pt's 
 EditDelete
glucocorticoid mechanism
decrease leukotriene production by inhibiting phospholipase A2  and expression of COX-2
 EditDelete
High dose dexamethasone suppression
ACTH producing tumor in pit = cushing's DISEASE
