Thyroid Hormone



THYROID HORMONE
powerpoint presentation by: D. C. MIKULECKY
PROFESSOR OF PHYSIOLOGY

THE THYROID GLAND

* OVER TRACHEA
* TWO LARGE LATERAL LOBES CONNECTED BY AN ISTHMUS
* 15 to 20 g
* FUNCTIONAL UNIT IS THE FOLLICLE: EPITHELIAL CELLS AROUND A HOLLOW VESSICLE FILLED WITH THYROGLOBULIN

THE THYROID HORMONES

* THYROGLOBULIN: STORAGE FORM BINDS HORMONES
* TETRAIODOTHYRONINE
* TRIIODOTHYRONINE
* IODINE REQUIRED FROM DIETARY INTAKE

THYROID HORMONES
THYROID HORMONE SYNTHESIS

* DEPENDENT ON IODINE (IODINE PUMP CONCENTRATES IODINE IN CELLS)
* DEPENDENT ON TYROSINE
* PARTIALLY SYNTHESIZED (THYROGLOBULIN) EXTRACELLULARLY AT LUMINAL SURFACE OF FOLLICULAR CELLS AND STORED IN FOLLICULAR LUMEN

EFFECTS OF IODINE

* DURING IODINE DEFICIENCY, HORMONE SYNTHESIS IS IMPAIRED
* EXCESS IODINE ALSO INHIBITS SYSNTHESIS

THYROID HORMONE SECRETION

* WITH TSH STIMULATION, ENDOCYTOSIS BRINGS THE THYROGLOBIN BACK INTO FOLLICULAR CELLS
* THYROGLOBULIN IS DEGRADED TO T3 AND T4

THYROID HORMONE’S EFFECTS

* METABOLIC RATE: INCREASED BMR
* CALOROGENIC: INCREASED HEAT PRODUCTION(OXIDATIVE METABOLISM)
* SYMPATHOMIMETIC: FLIGHT OR FIGHT
* CARDIOVASCULAR:INCREASES RESPONSIVENESS OF HEART
* GROWTH: ESSENTIAL FOR NORMAL GROWTH OF SKELETAL SYSTEM (PERMISSIVE OR SYNERGYSTIC WITH GH, INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR), CNS, ANS
* NERVOUS SYSTEM:DEVELOPMENT AND ADULT ACTIVITY

METABOLIC EFFECTS OF THYROID HORMONE

* CALOROGENIC EFFECT: INFLUENCES TOLERENCE TO COLD, AVAILABILITY OF ATP
* CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM: INCREASED GLUCOSE ABSORPTION FROM GUT,GLCOGENOLYSIS, GLUCONEOGENESIS, GLUCOSE OXIDATION.
* LIPID METABOLISM: LIPOGENESIS IN ADIPOCYTES, IN COORDIMNATION WITH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS

CONTROL OF FUEL METABOLISM

* GLYCOGENESIS
* GLYCOGENOLYSIS
* GLUCONEOGENESIS
* PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
* PROTEIN DEGRADATION
* FAT SYNTHESIS
* FAT BREAKDOWN


GLYCOGENESIS

* GLYCOGEN IS A BRANCHED POLYMER OF GLUCOSE STORED IN THE LIVER AND MUSCLE CELLS
* SYNTHESIS IS BY SEPARATE PATHWAY FROM BREAKDOWN
* HIGHLY REGULATED BY INSULIN

GLYCOGENOLYSIS

* BREAKDOWN OF GLYCOGEN STORES INTO GLUCOSE
* REGULATES BLOOD GLUCOSE BETWEEN MEALS
* HOMONALLY CONTROLLED (GLUCAGON, EPINEHRINE, NOREPINEPHRINE AND CLUCOCORTICOIDS) AMPLIFIED BY THYROID HORMONE

GLUCONEOGENESIS

* PRECURSORS ARE 3 AND 4 CARBON COMPOUNDS
* VIA FRUCTOSE PHOSPHATE
* GLUCAGON CONTROLLED AIDED BY THYROID HORMONE
* MAIN PRECURSOR ALANINE AND OTHER AA


PROTEIN DEGRADATION

* USUALLY BALANCED BY SYNTHESIS
* NO ENERGY STORES IN FORM OF PROTEIN
* CAN BE ENHANCED BY GLUCAGON AND THYROID HORMONES LEADING TO GLUCONEOGENESIS

THYROID HORMONE EFFECTS ON NITROGEN METABOLISM

* ENHANCES BOTH SYNTHESIS AND DEGRADATION OF PROTEINS
* EXCESS HORMONE PROMOTES DEGREDATION

FAT SYNTHESIS

* GLUCOSE - FATTY ACID CYCLE
* FATTY ACIDS PRODUCED CONSTANTLY IN ADIPOSE TISSUE.
* BECOME FFA OR BECOME TRIGLYCERIDES DEPENDING ON -GLYCEROL PHOSPHATE FROM GLUCOSE OXIDATION
* NEED OPTIMAL AMOUNTS OF THYROID HORMONE

GLUCOSE - FATTY ACID CYCLE

THYROID AND TEMPERATURE REGULATION

* T3 IS THE DOMINANT FORM INVOLVED
* EXPOSURE TO COLD CAUSES T4 CONVERSION TO T3 .
* PROMOTES CALOROGENIC EFFECT (LONG TERM COLD ADAPTATION)
* SHORT TERM EFFECTS DUE TO SYMPATHETIC MIMETIC EFFECTS AND THE SHIVERING RESPONSE OF MUSCLES
