hormonal regulation of glucose.
normal blood glucose -fasting blood sugar=60-80 mg/100ml
random blood sugar=80-120mgm%
post prandial blood sugar- 120-140mgm%
role liver as a glucostatic organ-
- when glucose content in blood is excess it is converted in to glycogen by glycogenesis and is stored in liver
- during rigorous exercise and dieting this glycogen stored in liver and muscle converted by glycogenolysis
hypoglycemic hormone
1)insulin
hyperglycemic hormone
1)glucagon
2)adrenaline
3)T4
4)GH,ACTH
islet of langerhans:
secretes-A cells-glucagon
B cells -insulin
γ cells -somatostatin
δ cells -pancreatic polypeptide
,:-
-hypo glycemic in action
-uptake of glucose increases peripheral utilisation of glucose by all the cells except brain cells and RBC.
-excess of glucose is converted to glycogen -glycogenesis.
-prevents breakdown of glycogen to glucose
-prevents gluconeogenesis
therefore glucose level is decreased to 80 mg/100ml
glucagon-
-hypoglycemic in action in action.
-decreases in peripheral utilisation of glucose.
-glycogenolysis is facilitated .
-it facilitates gluconeogenesis.
adrenaline.
-hyperglycemic in action .
-glycogenolysis is facilitated from liver but also from muscles.
thyroxine-
hyperglycemic in action
-increased absorption of glucose inGIT.
-BMR

-growth hormone.-
-hyperglycemic in action
-decrease in peripheral utilisation
-fats breakdown.

abnormalities-
1)diabetes melitus-either total absence/relative absence of insulin.
type1:-
1)named as juvenile onset
starts at 12-13 years
-cause -total absence
-insulin injection is only treatment.
purely hereditary
-called as insulin dependent diabetes.
type2-
maturity onset
stars after 40 years
-relative absence of insulin.
-treatment:-exercise,diet,antidiabetic drugs.
-insulin independent diabetes melitus
symptoms:-
blood glucose level is always high >180mg/100ml
-glycosuria
-polyurea.
-polydipsia
-poor wound healing
-loss of weight
-prone to skin infection
Adrenal gland:-
adrenaline cortex-zona glomerulosa-mineralocorticoids eg:- aldosterone
-zona fasciculata-glucocorticosteroids eg:-cortisol
-zona reticularis-sex steroids
-all three steroid/cholesterol
-adrenal medulla-adrenaline/epinephrine
-nor adrenaline
-dopamine
physiological effect:-
1)aldosterone called as life saving hormone it maintains sodium concentration N.V-300 -350MG%
-aldosterone acts on 1 st part renal tubule -PCT and henle's loop- helps in reabsorption of Na ions. along that chlorine ae also reabsorbed.
NACL are osmotically -active reabsorption of H2O
- to maintain electrolyte balance -potassium is lost in urine ,sometimes instead of H+
lost in urine.
-maintain acid-base balance.
-maintain the blood volume.
regulation of secretion aldosterone.
-renin angiotensin pathway-blood volume decreases,aldosterone increases
-circadian rhythm -on day,secretion increases
- on night secretion decreases
-when sodium concentration in blood decreases -aldosterone increases
-ACTH increases aldosterone increases negative feedback.
abnormality:-
conn's syndrome-hyperaldosteronism
symptoms:-
-hypervolema
-blood pressure increases
-potassium content in blood decreases leads to hypokalemia.
-alkalosis
aldosterone escape:-
due to increase in aldosterone it will lead to increase in blood volume which will lead to increase in B.P.,GRR increases ,loss of H2O sodium through urine ,aldosterone escape.
glucocorticoids:-
eg:-cortisol hormone .etc
source-zona fasciculata
-has role in glucose/ carbohydrate metabolism
physiological action:-
1)anti inflammatory action as in case of rheumatoid arthritis
2)steroids are given for pain relief
-immune suppressive action-organ/tissue transplantation -before surgery an injection is given becuase it reduces lymphocytes count until the body accepts
-anti allergic action-used in case of nasal drops.
reduces eosinophil count which decreases histamine release
-anti stress action -ACTH increases which in turns increases cortisol-reduce stress.
-glucose/carbohydrate metabolism-hyperglycemia in action-breakdown of fats and proteins
if secretion is increases -steroid diabetic condition.
-protein metabolism.
-fat metabolism-when excess breakdown of fats,mobilization -centripetal distribution of fats.
-effect on blood and CVS-lymphocyte count decreases so, therefore eosinophil count decreases
blood volume increases,B.P increases.
-Respiratory system-in case of premature baby it is administered for synthesis of surfactant-7th-9 th month
-GIT- continues uses of steroids lead to gastric ulcer.
