What Is a Hormone & Endocrine Signaling
- Hormone: chemical messenger released directly into bloodstream acting on distant target cells
- Endocrine vs exocrine glands: ductless secretion vs duct-based secretion
- Endocrine signaling: systemic, blood-borne communication
- Paracrine signaling: local signaling to nearby cells
- Autocrine signaling: self-targeting signaling
- Receptor specificity: lock-and-key principle
- Hormone potency: low concentrations with signal amplification

Hormone Classes
- Peptide & protein hormones: water-soluble, cell-surface receptors
- Steroid hormones: cholesterol-derived, intracellular receptors
- Amino acid derivatives:
- Thyroid hormones (T3, T4): tyrosine-derived, lipid-soluble
- Catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine): tyrosine-derived, water-soluble
- Melatonin: tryptophan-derived

Hormone Receptors & Signal Transduction
- Cell surface receptors:
- G-protein-coupled receptors (Gs, Gi, Gq)
- Second messengers: cAMP, IP3, DAG, Ca²⁺
- Receptor tyrosine kinases: insulin receptor
- Intracellular receptors: steroid & thyroid hormone receptors
- Fast, short-acting signaling vs slow, long-lasting gene transcription effects

Hypothalamus & Pituitary
- Hypothalamus: releasing and inhibiting hormones
- Pituitary gland (hypophysis): located in sella turcica, connected via infundibulum

Anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis):
- Growth hormone (GH) → IGF-1
- Prolactin
- ACTH → adrenal cortex
- TSH → thyroid gland
- FSH & LH → gonads
- Hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system

Posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis):
- ADH (vasopressin): water reabsorption via aquaporin-2
- Oxytocin: labor contractions & milk ejection
- Supraoptic & paraventricular nuclei

Clinical notes:
- Diabetes insipidus
- SIADH

Thyroid Gland
- Location: anterior neck, two lobes + isthmus
- Follicular cells & thyroid follicles
- Colloid & thyroglobulin
- Sodium-iodide symporter
- Thyroid peroxidase (TPO)
- MIT, DIT → T3 & T4 synthesis
- Peripheral T4 → T3 conversion
- Calcitonin from parafollicular (C) cells

Clinical correlations:
- Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease)
- Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, iodine deficiency)

Parathyroid Glands
- Parathyroid hormone (PTH): primary calcium regulator
- Bone resorption (osteoclast activation)
- Renal calcium reabsorption & phosphate excretion
- Vitamin D activation (calcitriol)
- Intestinal calcium absorption

Clinical signs:
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Chvostek’s sign
- Trousseau’s sign

Adrenal Glands
Adrenal cortex (GFR):
- Zona glomerulosa → aldosterone (RAAS, potassium)
- Zona fasciculata → cortisol
- Zona reticularis → DHEA, androstenedione

Cortisol effects:
- Gluconeogenesis
- Lipolysis
- Protein catabolism
- Anti-inflammatory & immunosuppressive actions

Clinical:
- Cushing syndrome
- Addison disease

Adrenal medulla:
- Epinephrine & norepinephrine
- Alpha & beta adrenergic receptors
- Fight-or-flight response
- Pheochromocytoma

Pancreas
- Exocrine pancreas: acinar cells, digestive enzymes
- Endocrine pancreas: islets of Langerhans
- Beta cells → insulin (GLUT4 translocation)
- Alpha cells → glucagon
- Delta cells → somatostatin

Clinical:
- Type 1 diabetes mellitus
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Diabetic ketoacidosis

Gonads
Testes:
- Leydig cells → testosterone
- Sertoli cells → spermatogenesis, inhibin

Ovaries:
- Estrogen (follicular phase)
- Progesterone (corpus luteum)
- Ovulation & menstrual cycle regulation

Pineal Gland
- Location: epithalamus
- Melatonin secretion
- Suprachiasmatic nucleus
- Retinohypothalamic tract
- Circadian rhythm regulation

Endocrine Regulation
- Negative feedback
- Positive feedback
- Circadian rhythms
- Pulsatile secretion
