This document discusses drugs that affect the endocrine system. It covers drugs related to the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas and reproductive systems. Key drugs are discussed for treating disorders of hormone secretion and regulation, including hormones for growth, calcium regulation, blood glucose control, fertility, menopause and male sexual function.
Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream that regulate various bodily processes. Disorders of the endocrine system can have serious health effects if left untreated. Corticosteroids are synthetic hormones used to treat inflammation and immune-related disorders. They work by reducing prostaglandin and white blood cell production to decrease the inflammatory response. Corticosteroids are administered through different methods depending on the condition, including injections, topical creams, and oral pills.
The endocrine system is composed of hormone-releasing organs that maintain homeostasis by releasing chemicals called hormones into the bloodstream. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control the endocrine system. Hormones have broader response times than neurotransmitters in the nervous system. Endocrine drugs include natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic hormones used for replacement therapy, treatment of disorders, and diagnosis. Examples discussed include hypothalamic-pituitary hormones like growth hormone, ACTH, TSH, and gonadotropins; steroid hormones; and thyroid hormones.
The endocrine system uses hormones to regulate various bodily functions including growth, development, reproduction, and homeostasis. Hormones are chemical signals produced in endocrine glands and transported via bloodstream to target tissues. They activate physiological responses by binding to cell surface or intracellular receptors. Common hormones include amines derived from amino acids, peptides and proteins, and steroids. Hormone levels are regulated by feedback loops involving the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Endocrine disorders can result from hormone deficiencies or excesses.
Proteins, peptides and amino acid derivatives
Proteins are large molecules made of many amino acids
Peptides are smaller molecules typically made of a few amino acids
Amino acid derivatives are molecules derived from a single amino acid

Hamel, Ph.D. It includes the lecture topics for the semester, information about lecture materials available online, an overview of the teaching style, diagrams of the hypothalamic-pituitary hormone axes and feedback loops, and descriptions of specific hormones and drugs related to the growth hormone and prolactin systems.
The document discusses several key topics regarding endocrinology including:
1) Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted from glands or tissues and transported via blood to distant sites of action or nearby cells.
2) Major endocrine organs include the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries/testes, and endocrine tissues in the kidneys, heart, lungs and GI tract.
3) Hormones are involved in important body processes like metabolism, growth, development, reproduction, and maintaining homeostasis.
4) A negative feedback system exists between the hypothalamus and pituitary glands that regulates thyroid, adrenal, and gonadal function.

The anterior pituitary gland secretes several hormones in response to regulatory signals from the hypothalamus. These hormones include growth hormone, prolactin, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and gonadotropins such as follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. The hypothalamus produces releasing or inhibiting hormones that stimulate or suppress hormone production and secretion by the anterior pituitary. Imbalances in anterior pituitary hormones can lead to various disorders.
The document discusses the pharmacology of the endocrine system. It describes the major hormones produced by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, including growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and prolactin. It explains how the hypothalamus regulates the anterior pituitary through releasing and inhibiting hormones. The mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, and diagnostic uses of various hormones are summarized, such as growth hormone-releasing hormone, somatostatin, thyrotropin-releasing hormone, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
This document discusses the endocrine system and hormones. It focuses on steroid hormones like cortisol and aldosterone that are produced by the adrenal cortex. Cortisol regulates glucose metabolism and has anti-inflammatory effects. Aldosterone controls electrolyte and fluid levels. Long-term high-dose use of glucocorticoids can lead to diabetes, osteoporosis, and infections due to immune suppression. Adrenal crisis is a medical emergency caused by a lack of cortisol and requires immediate treatment with hydrocortisone injections. Abrupt withdrawal from glucocorticoid therapy should be avoided.

The anterior pituitary gland secretes several important hormones. Growth hormone promotes growth and development. Prolactin stimulates lactation. Gonadotropins such as LH and FSH regulate the reproductive system. ACTH regulates cortisol production and TSH controls thyroid function. These hormones are regulated by hypothalamic factors and provide feedback control of their target organs. Disorders can arise from excess or deficiency of anterior pituitary hormones, leading to important diseases like acromegaly, Cushing's syndrome, and hypothyroidism.
This document summarizes endocrine pharmacology and focuses on the pituitary gland, growth hormone, and prolactin. It discusses that the pituitary gland secretes several hormones including growth hormone and prolactin. Growth hormone promotes growth and development, while prolactin stimulates breast development and lactation.
