synthesize and secrete hormones
Hormones are released into the blood and transported throughout the body
Target cells have the specific receptors for a hormone
They bind hormone and respond
Endocrine and nervous systems are the two control systems of the body

17.4a Transport in the Blood

Lipid-soluble hormones use carrier molecules
Do not dissolve

readily in blood
Carriers are water-soluble proteins made by the liver
Carriers protect hormones from early destruction
Binding between hormone and carrier is temporary
Attachment, detachment, reattachment are common
Most of the hormone (90% or more) is bound hormone
Only unbound (free) hormone is able to exit blood and bind to target cell receptors
Most water-soluble hormones travel freely through blood
A few use carrier proteins to prolong their life
Слайд 26

17.4b Levels of Circulating Hormone

A hormone’s blood concentration depends on how

fast it is synthesized and eliminated
Hormone synthesis is done by the gland
The faster the synthesis rate, the higher the blood concentration
Hormone elimination occurs in multiple ways
Enzymatic degradation in liver cells
Removal from blood via kidney excretion or target cell uptake
The faster the elimination rate, the lower the blood concentration
Слайд 27

17.4b Levels of Circulating Hormone Half-Life—time necessary to reduce a hormone’s

17.4b Levels of Circulating Hormone

Half-Life—time necessary to reduce a hormone’s concentration

to half of its original level
Depends on how efficiently it is eliminated
Hormones with short half-life must be secreted frequently to maintain normal concentration
Water-soluble hormones generally have short half-life
E.g., half-life of a few minutes for small peptide hormones
Steroid hormones generally have a long half-life
Carrier proteins protect them
E.g., testosterone half-life is 12 days

17.5a Lipid-Soluble Hormones

Lipid-soluble hormones can diffuse across target cell membrane
Such hormones

are small, nonpolar, and lipophilic
Their receptors are in the cytosol or nucleus
Once hormone enters cell it binds to receptor and forms hormone-receptor complex
The complex binds to a hormone-response element of DNA
Results in transcription of an mRNA, which is translated to a protein
The protein may have structural or metabolic effects

17.5b Water-Soluble Hormones

Water-soluble hormones use membrane receptors
Such hormones are polar and

can’t diffuse through membrane
Signal transduction pathway
Hormone is first messenger—it initiates events by binding to receptor
Binding activates a G-protein (an internal membrane protein that binds a guanine nucleotide)
Activation results in binding of GTP instead of GDP
G-protein activation causes activation of a membrane enzyme such as adenylate cyclase or phospholipase C
Activated enzyme catalyzes the formation of a second messenger—a chemical that modifies cellular activity

17.5b Water-Soluble Hormones

Phospholipase C pathway
After hormone (e.g., epinephrine) binds to its

receptor, G protein is activated
Activated G protein activates phospholipase C
Phospholipase C splits PIP2 into diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3)
DAG is a second messenger of the membrane that activates protein kinase C
- Protein kinase C phosphorylates other molecules
Слайд 36

17.5b Water-Soluble Hormones Phospholipase C pathway (continued) IP3 is a second

17.5b Water-Soluble Hormones

Phospholipase C pathway (continued)
IP3 is a second messenger that

leaves the membrane and causes an increase in the levels of Ca2+ in the cytosol
Increase caused by effects on endoplasmic reticulum and cell membrane Ca2+ channels
Ca2+ acts as a third messenger, activating kinases (sometimes by binding to calmodulin) and interacting with ion channels

Action of cortisol
Cortisol and corticosterone increase nutrient

levels in blood
To resist stress and repair injured tissue
Release regulated by hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis
Stress, late stages of sleep, and low levels of cortisol stimulate hypothalamus to release CRH
CRH stimulates anterior pituitary to release ACTH
ACTH stimulates adrenal cortex to release cortisol and corticosterone
Cortisol travels through blood attached to carrier proteins
Small amounts of cortisol dissociate from carrier and leave bloodstream

17.9b Effects of Pancreatic Hormones

Pancreatic hormones help maintain blood glucose
Normal range

is 70 to 110 mg of glucose/deciliter
High levels damage blood vessels and kidneys
Low levels cause lethargy, mental and physical impairment, death
Insulin lowers blood glucose
After food intake, beta cells detect rise in blood glucose and respond by secreting insulin
Insulin travels through blood and randomly leaves bloodstream to encounter target cells
Insulin binds to receptors and initiates 2nd messenger systems
Once blood glucose falls, beta cells stop secreting insulin
Слайд 124

17.9b Effects of Pancreatic Hormones

How insulin lowers blood glucose
Hepatocytes remove glucose

from blood; store it as glycogen
Glycogenesis stimulated; glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis inhibited
Adipose cells decrease fatty acid levels in blood; store fat
Lipogenesis stimulated and lipolysis inhibited
Most body cells increase nutrient uptake in response to insulin
Increased amino acid uptake, protein synthesis (especially in muscle)
Increased glucose uptake by incorporating more glucose transport proteins into plasma membrane
With less alternate fuels available (e.g., less fatty acids) more body cells use glucose
Some cells do not require insulin to take in glucose
Including: neurons, kidney cells, hepatocytes, red blood cells

Glucagon raises blood glucose
Alpha cells detect drop

in blood glucose and release glucagon
Glucagon acts through membrane receptors and 2nd messengers causing body cells to release stored nutrients into blood
Hepatocytes release glucose
Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis stimulated; glycogenesis inhibited
Adipose cells release fatty acids and glycerol
Lipolysis stimulated, while lipogenesis inhibited
Glucagon does not affect protein composition
Glucagon can be given by paramedics to unconscious individuals with low blood sugar
