Overview of Some Important Hormones of the Endocrine System

The endocrine system is made up of a number of hormone functions and activities, but the overview will focus on growth hormones, adrenorcoticotropic hormones, thyrotropins or thyroid-stimulating hormones and Gonadotropic hormones. What are their functions and what privileges can we see from someone suffering from their own disorders?

Growth hormones promote bone growth and soft tissue without affecting sexual development. The direct effect on protein anabolism promotes cell growth. It accelerates fatty catabolism and energy intake, although its effects on carbohydrate metabolism are unknown, but they tend to increase blood glucose concentration in a hyperglycemic reaction. Growth hormone secretion is under the influence of the somatotrpin-releasing factor (SRF) of the hypothalamus. Growth hormone hyposecretion in the bone growth years results in a condition called dwarfism. If it occurs after apiphyseal closure (during late adolescence), it causes a rare condition known as simmonds (pituitary cachexia). Hypersecretion during the active bone growth years results in gigantism, while excess growth hormone during adult life produces acromgaly.

Criteria for diagnosis of GHD

• Elevation below the 3rd percentile

• The prepubertal growth rate is less than 4cm a year

• Bone age under chronological age

• Abnormal 24 hour GH hiding pattern

• Peak GH levels less than 10ng / ml during provocative stimulation testing

• Low levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 for age

• Resuming growth following GH administration

The main symptoms of Acromelagy

• Weakness

• Enlargement of body parts

• Improved facial features

• Fingerprinting

• Hypogonadism

• narrower field of vision

• Increased somatotropin hormone levels in plasma

• Excessive darkness

Adrenocorticotropic hormones

The main function of adrenocorticotrophic hormones is to regulate the secretion of the glucocorticoid and adrenal glands, which is lower than androgen. The secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion is under the influence of the chemical dispersion factor of the hypothalamic contour. Hyposecretion of adrenorcorticortropic hormone hypersecretion produces a clinical manifestation that is directly linked to deficiency of the hormone from the target gland, the adrenal cortex.

Adison's disease

• Colorful color scheme

• Progressive fatigue

• Lose weight

• Anorexia

• Loss of blood pressure

• Anemia

Thyrotropin or thyroid stimulating hormone

As the name suggests, the thyroid hormone promotes and promotes the growth of the thyroid gland and stimulates the secretion of thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyroxine). The secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormones is regulated by the thyrotropin (TRF) release factor from the hypothalamus. Hyposecretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone hypersecreation produces symptoms that are directly associated with deficiency or excess of thyroid hormone.

Gonadotropic hormones

Gonadotropic hormones follicle-stimioning, luteinizing hormones, interstitial cell stimulation hormones, and prolactin are responsible for the growth and maturity of gonads in puberty and for stimulation of germ cell production in adulthood.
