what are the effects of thiazide diuretics on calcium homeostatisis?
|
Thiazides also lower urinary calcium excretion, making them useful in preventing calcium-containingkidney stones. This effect is associated with positive calcium balance and is associated with an increase in bone mineral density and reductions in fracture rates attributable to osteoporosis. By a lesser understood mechanism, thiazides directly stimulate osteoblastdifferentiation and bone mineral formation, further slowing the course of osteoporosis.[11]
Because of their promotion of calcium retention, thiazides are used in the treatment of Dent's Disease or idiopathic hypercalciuria. |

2. Define the roles of LH and FSH on gonadal function. Define the importance of androgens for sexual differentiation and puberty.
|
a. Prior to puberty testosterone levels are low. At puberty, LH secretion increases and stimulates testosterone production in the testes (Leydig cells produce testosterone). Testosterone is required for spermatogenesis.
b. Follicle stimulating hormone binds to Sertoli cell receptors in the testes and stimulates spermatogenesis. Once this occurs, spermatogenesis can be maintained by adequate levels of testosterone. c. In addition to the increase in testosterone that occurs at puberty, there are surges of testosterone during certain periods of gestation and infancy. The first surges of testosterone are important for development of primary sex characteristics (reproductive organs). The second surge during puberty induces the development of secondary sex characteristics (masculinization). |

what is MOA of teriparatide?
|
Teriparatide is a portion of human parathyroid hormone (PTH), amino acid sequence 1 through 34, of the complete molecule (containing 84 amino acids). Endogenous PTH is the primary regulator of calcium and phosphate metabolism in bone and kidney. PTH increases serum calcium, partially accomplishing this by increasing bone resorption. Thus, chronically elevated PTH will deplete bone stores. However, intermittent exposure to PTH will activate osteoblasts more than osteoclasts. Thus, once-daily injections of teriparatide have a net effect of stimulating new bone formation leading to increased bone mineral density.

b. Uric acid is freely filtered at the glomerulus. It also both reabsorbed and secreted in the middle segment (S2) of the proximal tubule. Reaborption is predominantly by the organic anion transporter family URAT-1. Net uric acid excreted is ~10% of what is filtered, meaning that most is reabsorbed.

c. The effects of androgens on increasing muscle mass is controversial. ?
|
i. They are effective when used to counter muscle wasting due to various causes, such as muscle wasting due to anti-inflammatory steroid use. They induce a positive nitrogen balance in hypogonadal individuals.
ii. Use by athletes with normal gonadal function has not been proven to reliably increase muscle mass. There is often an increase in muscle mass seen in these individuals, but this may be due to increased aggressiveness leading to a greater training limit, rather than the steroids actually causing more muscle to form. iii. Increased muscle mass is seen in well-trained athletes who use these, but not in a normal male. iv. There may be a more beneficial effect in females v. Double-blind studies have yielded both positive and negative results regarding use of androgens to increase muscle mass. |

|
what is the issue with tight blood glucose control?
|
poor glucose control leads to problems with blindness/renal/neuro stuff but it does not increase mortatlity. there is some evidcence that suggest that tight glucose control (keeping blood glucose as low as normal population) has increased risk of hypoglycemia, and as a result may actually lead to increased mortality.
This means that its possible that you don't want to have glucose control be to tight or too loose. possilby best to keep glucose as slithglty above normal population but below level that can lead to the dangerous DM complications. |

5. Describe the rationale for the clinical uses of anabolic/androgenic hormones in: anemia
|
b. Androgens stimulate RBC development, both directly and indirectly.

6. Compare the routes of administration, absorption, and relative duration of action of synthetic androgens and testosterone.
|
a. Testosterone is a poor drug. It exhibits a high first pass effect when given orally. When injected, it is rapidly absorbed and metabolized. It also has mixed anabolic and androgenic effects that cannot be separated out.
b. Synthetic manipulation of testosterone seeks to solve these problems. i. Type B manipulation: 17 substitution (methyltestosterone) ii. Type C manipulation: ring alteration (mesterolone) iii. Type B and Type C manipulation allows drugs to be orally active. These drugs are not metabolized to testosterone proper. They can cause liver toxicity and liver cancer. iv. Type A manipulation: 17 esterification (enanthate or cypionate) 1. This modification causes absorption of the drugs to be greatly delayed. They are injected weekly or monthly and are metabolized to testosterone proper. v. Most preparations involve combinations of type AC or type BC changes. |

|
c. Combination type MOA contraceptive
|
these are combinations of a semi-synthetic estrogen and a 19-nortestosterone. These are given in low constant doses for days 5-25 of the menstrual period and inhibit gonadotropin release. Thus no ovum matures or is released. The estrogen is primarily effective for inhibition of ovulation and the progestin ensures proper withdrawal bleeding.

|
20. List the most significant drug interactions with estrogens and progestins.
|
a. Anticoagulants: due to an increase in plasma clotting factors, the effect of oral anticoagulants may be diminished.
b. Hepatic microsomal enzyme inducers: since hepatic metabolism plays a large role in the elimination of steroids, agents that induce these enzymes may increase the rate of inactivation of oral contraceptives, diminishing their efficacy. This is especially problematic because as a rule of thumb, you chose the lowest possible dose of estrogen. Any increase in metabolism may bring estrogen levels below the therapeutic range. Inducers = Phenobarbital, phenytoin. c. Enterohepatic cycling alterations: long term broad spectrum antibiotics may reduce intestinal flora which normally produce enzymes that regenerate active steroids from inactive Phase II conjugates. Advise patients to use alternative form of contraception during such therapy. |

10-15 yo
|
|
what is CAH?
|
group of AR, inihereted metabolic errors of a deficieny to total lack of a particular enzyem in the biosyntesis of cortical steroids.
steroidiogenesis is channeled into other pathways usually the androgen pathway which leads to virilization |
