Hormonal Timing and Order of
Metamorphic Change II
- How is the timing of the orderly sequence controlled?
- Thyroid hormone!
- T4 is the prohormone; greater quantity and less potent
- Precursors MIT and DIT are combined to form T3 and T4 in the thyroid gland
- Gradual Increase in Thyroid Horone
- Different Tissues=Different Sensitivity to Thyroid (Diff. Threshold
- How do tissues maintain sensitivity to thyroid hormone?
- Receptors on Tissue
- Enzymes that deionize T4 into T3 to make thyroid hormone more potent are found in specific locations
- Thyroid Imbalance
- Hypothyroidism
- Causes: low iodine
- High TRH (brain)
- High TSH (Ant. Pituitary)
- NoT4/T3 bc of no iodine
- Diseases: Goiter, buildup of TSH (Ant. Pituitary), more thyroid producing cells
- Hyperthyroidism
- Causes: autoimmune disorder; antibodies bind to thyroid stimulating receptors in thyroid gland
- Low TRH (brain)
- Low TSH (Ant. Pituitary)
- High T4/T3
- Diseases: Grave's Disease, increase in size of the gland due to binding of receptors
- Hypothyroidism
- Decreased rate of cell proliferation; increased duration; same # cells
- Slowed cell migration
- Little cell differentiation/synapses, increase in cell death
- Hyperthyroidism
- Increased rate of cell proliferation; decreased duration; less # cells
- No effect on cell migration
- Same amount of cell differentiation
- Frog/Tadpole Metamorphosis
- CRH (Hypothalamus)
- TSH (Anterior Pituitary Gland)
- T3 & T4 (Thyroid Gland)
- Tissues
- METAMORPHOSIS
- PRH/PIH (Hypothalamus)
- Prolactin (Ant. Pituitary Gland)
- Tissues
- GROWTH
- Metamorphosis: Maturation of Hypothalamus
- Immature Hypothalamus
- A lot of prolactin, little thyroxin, no CRH
- Mature Hypothalamus
- A lot of thryoxin, little prolactin due to inhibitory PIH
