3、Endocrine system consists of two main parts:Endocrine glands Sporadic endocrine tissues and cells in non-endocrine organHypothalamus-pituitary-target glandHypothalamus-pituitaryanterior pituitary releases six hormones:ACTH、TSH、FSH、LH、PRL、GHposterior pituitary releases two hormones that are actually

12、ic stalk to the anterior pituitary,where it stimulates ACTH release.ACTH then travels to the adrenal gland,where it stimulates the release of cortisol.Cortisol in turn inhibits both CRH and ACTH release（feedback inhibition）.The brain establishes circadian rhythms and can trigger increased CRH releas

22、d physical examination Many syndromes of hormonal excess or deficiency display manifestations that are readily apparent at the time of initial presentation,e.g.,severe thyrotoxicosis and cushings syndrome.In other instances,the clinial presentation is more subtle and the physician must rely on labor

23、atory testing to establish a diagnosis.Laboratory testing The level of free rather than total hormone is usually the best index of the effective hormone concentration in plasma.A measurement of the 24-h urine free cortisol usually provides a reasonable estimate of the integrated levels of free plasm

25、 in relation to the plasma glucose concentration,and PTH levels should be considered in relation to serum calcium levels.Clinical interpretation Since cortisol production integrated over a 24-h period is increased in cushings syndrome,the 24-h urinary free cortisol provides a more accurate index of

26、cortisol hypersecretion.Clinical interpretation Sometimes the significance of hormone levels can be evaluated only by the simultaneous measurement of more than one hormone.For instance,with progressive damage to the thyroid hormones,secretion of TSH increases in a compensatory fashion so that normal

29、ormation Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and assessment of therapy depend on measurement of plasma glucose rather than insulin levels.It is helpful to follow the serum calcium levels in hyperparathyroidism and the serum potassium levels in primary aldosteronism.Tests that provide indirect information

30、 For instance,serum sodium is almost always greater than 139mEq/liter in patients with an aldosterone producing adenoma,plasma cholesterol tends to be high in hypothyroidism and low in hyperthyroidism.Treatment of endocrine and metabolic disease For endocrine deficiency syndromes,hormones are genera

31、lly administered to counter the deficiency.Vitamin D is given instead of PTH to treat hypoparathyroidism,since it can increase the extracellular Ca+.In cases in which hormone resistance is present,steps are taken when possible to alleviate this,such as through diet restriction in type 2 diabetes.In

32、hormone-excess syndromes,a variety of approaches are used.Hyperfuctioning tumors are removed or destroyed with radiotherapy when possible,and sometimes hyperplastic glands are removed.In other cases drugs are given to block hormone production and release,such as methimazole/propylthiouracil for thyrotoxicosis and cabergoline/bromocriptine for prolactin-producing adenomas.Antagonists such as spironolactone can some times be useful in primary aldosteronism due to hyperplasia.
