Study Notes

Endocrinology Rules

To diagnose hormone deficiency, stimulate the hormone with its stimulating hormone.
To diagnose hormone excess, suppress the hormone to prove it is truly in excess.
Knowing endocrine pathways is essential to apply these rules and understand endocrinology.

Pituitary Endocrinology and Pharmacology

Hypothalamic hormones regulate the pituitary gland:
- GnRH: Gonadotrophin releasing Hormone
- CRH: Corticotrophin releasing Hormone
- TRH: Thyrotropin releasing Hormone
- GHRH: Growth Hormone releasing hormone
- Somatostatin: Inhibits GH
- DA: Dopamine: Inhibits PRL
Anterior Pituitary hormones:
- LH: Luteinising Hormone
- FSH: Follicle Stimulating Hormone
- ACTH: Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
- TSH: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
- GH: Growth Hormone
- PRL: Prolactin
