◦ Activity stimulated by ACTH (regulates mainly glucocorticoids & androgens).

Cortical hormones◦ Mineralcorticoids

Aldosterone regulate salt and water balance

◦ Glucocorticoids Cortisol regulate glucose metabolism and the immune system.

◦ Gonadocorticoids Androgens Estrogens

Adrenal cortexAdrenal cortexGlucocorticoid hormones

Most potent naturally occurring glucocorticoids is cortisol

They are carried by plasma proteins: albumin and globulin.

Only 2% are not bound, free in the circulation and are biologically active.

It shows diurnal variation; increases early morning and decreases at night.

Effects of cortisolEffects of cortisolOn carbohydrates

◦Stimulation of gluconeogenesis by the liver

◦ Increase in glycogen storage in liver cells ◦Decreased glucose utilization by the cells

On protein◦ Catabolic effect in all body cells except the liver◦ Mobilization of amino acids from muscles.◦ Decreased protein synthesis

On fat◦ Mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue

◦Stabilizes lysosomal membrane◦Reduces degree of vasodilatation◦Decreases permeability of capillaries◦Decreases migration of white blood

cells◦Suppresses immune system

Cushing’s sydndrome

Causes◦Pharmacologic◦Pituitary adenoma

Characteristics of Cushing’s Characteristics of Cushing’s diseasediseaseHyperglycemiaHypertension (Salt & water

retention).Moon face, buffalo neck, abdominal

obesity, thin limbs, due to redistribution of fat and lipolytic effect and catabolic effect on proteins.

Increased susceptibility to infection.Frequent fractures.

Adrenal cortexAdrenal cortexMineralocorticoid hormones:

Aldosterone

Most potent naturally occurring mineralocorticoid is aldosterone

Effects: Affect ion transport by epithelial cells

Increase the activity of the sodium pump of the epithelial cells; distal tubules of the nephron, sweat glands, salivary & intestinal glands.

Cause sodium retention and potassium and hydrogen loss by the kidney. Water is secondarily absorbed following sodium.

Regulated by the renin-angiotensin system

Insulin◦Secretion is promoted by increased

blood glucose levels.◦Facilitates the rate of glucose uptake

into the cells of the body& decrease blood sugar level.

◦Anabolic hormone: Synthesis of proteins,

◦Lipogenic: (+)lipids formation in adipose tissues& inhibit lipid breakdown by lipase
