1 Hypothalamus and Anterior Pituitary 04 The story line concept: introduction to communication, reflex arc model, neuroendocrinology, hierarchies, integration The hypothalamic - pituitary unit: neurovascular hypothesis, hypothalamic and hypophysiotropic neurohormones to anterior pituitary. The neuroendocrine control, hierarchies and integration sites: the M as neuroendocrine integration site, other neuroendocrine integration sites The anterior pituitary : embriological origin, amplification unit for hypophysiotropic hypothalamic signals Regulators of anterior pituitary : regulators of and of s and their mechanisms of action Neurohormones (GnRH, TRH, GHRH,, CRH, DA): a list of hypophysiotropic neurohormones and their effects The tory Line Concept I suggest you put this information into a table YOU design!!!

LH / FH TH GH GnRH: structure, gene expression, receptor,, action, Kallman syndrome, clinical use. TRH: structure, receptor, secreting cells, regulation, actions, clinical use. P4, T, 2 T3, T4 IGFs GHRH: structure, receptor,, patophysiology, clinical use. RIF: structure, receptor,, analogs. CRH DA VIP MH - RF 5HT CRH: structure, receptors, regulation, and patophysiology, clinical use. DA: synthesis and DA neurons, regulation of Prl, receptors, hyperprolactinemia and D2R agonists. Prl MH gases as neural messengers (neurohormones). cortisol GnRH TRH GHRH decapeptide derived from a 92 aa precursor encoded by one gene which also encodes GAP its receptor has 7- transmembrane domains, characteristic of G protein - linked receptors. Its AP content changes with physiological states. Constant GnRH infusion downregulates the GnRH- receptor GnRH regulates LH / FH synthesis and release by a Ca - dependent mechanism involving phosphoinosi-tide hydrolysis, PKC activation, and calmodulin Kallman syndrome, precocious puberty, hpg mouse sexual behavior, prostate cancer, endometriosis is a tripeptide amide synthesized as part of a large prohormone termed prepro-trh which contains 6 TRH copies encoded by one gene its receptor has 7- transmembrane domains, characteristic of G protein - linked receptors TRH actions are mediated by the phosphoinositol / Ca system (IP3, DAG, calmodulin, PKC) distribution of TRH receptors in brain suggest TRH is also a neurotransmitter / neuromodulator TRH appears to function as neurotrophic factor used in stimulation tests prior to new TH assays 44 aa in more than a isoform coded in a large prohormone. Hypothalamic gene expression is under the control of GH, is sexually dimorphic and regulated by gonadal steroids (up by DHT) its receptor has 7- transmembrane domains, characteristic of G protein - linked receptors several second messenger systems mediate effects of GHRH: AC/cAMP, PLC/IP2, PLA/PG GHRH neurons have receptors, GH pulses half of human GH - secreting tumors have point mutations of Gs gene that interferes with intrinsic GTPase activity and lead to constitutive activation Page 20

21 CRH DA a tetradecapeptide whose gene sequence is well conserved in evolution. Post-translational processing of pro by peptidases / convertases is also conserved and determine the tissue specificity its five receptor subtypes have 7- transmembrane domains, typical of G protein - linked receptors inhibits AC activity on binding to its receptor by stimulating Gi. Additional open K channels hyperpolarizing the cell and decreasing Ca influx through voltage sensitive channels since many tumors expressed receptors, agonists are used in their detection and treatment. antagonists are of potential use to increase GH a 41 aa, synthesized as part of a prohormone which is processed enzymatically. The CRH gene is expressed widely. CRH-BP decreases its synaptic concentration and bioavailability its receptor has homology to the G - protein - coupled receptor superfamily, and has been linked to GC and to an increase in Ca by camp CRH is the primary hormonal regulator of the body s stress response. It has a reciprocal positive interaction with AVP at the M (?) CRH is used in stimulation tests, antagonists in depression, anorexia nervosa, anxiety, drug withdrawal. CRH- BP antagonists increase CRH is a catecholamine synthesized by hydroxylation of tyrosine and subsequent decarboxylation of L- Dopa D2 receptors regulate Prl. They have 7 transmembrane domains, typical of G protein- linked receptors DA decreases camp (Gi) and ICF-Ca. Prl release is inhibited by low Ca and by Ca channel blockers hyperprolactinemia due to uncoupling of lactotrophs from hypothalamic DA. hyperprolactinemia causes hypo-gonadism, low libido & galactorrhea. It is treated by DA agonists. Prl response to haloperidol is a very good predictor of its antipsychotic effects Page 21
