Study Notes
Homeostasis
- Homeostasis is a core concept in physiology.
- Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite external changes.
- The term was coined by Walter Bradford Cannon, building upon Claude Bernard's concept of "milieu intérieur".
Allostasis
- Allostasis is a newer concept that emphasizes the body's adaptation to changing environmental conditions.
- It suggests that the body can shift its set points for physiological variables in response to stress.
- Allostatic load refers to the cumulative effects of stress on the body.
Adaptive Homeostasis
- Adaptive homeostasis is proposed as a better term to describe the body's ability to resist various stressors and achieve short-term adaptations.
- Cellular systems exhibit transient plasticity in response to mild stressors.
- This can involve biochemical alterations of enzymes or changes in gene expression.
Hormesis
- Hormesis describes the "biphasic dose-response" relationship where low doses of stressors can actually be beneficial, while higher doses are harmful.
- This concept has been championed by Edward J. Calabrese and has implications for toxicology and drug discovery.
Examples of Adaptive Homeostasis
- The proteasome, a protein degradation complex, can be modified by ADP ribosylation in response to oxidative stress, enhancing its activity in degrading damaged proteins.
- The Lon protease in mitochondria also exhibits adaptive responses to stress, playing a role in protein quality control and mitochondrial DNA maintenance.
Points of Discussion
- The term "allostasis" has been criticized for being too similar to "heterostasis" and for unnecessary complexity.
- The concept of hormesis has also faced skepticism and challenges.
- The study of adaptive homeostasis encourages a more dynamic view of the body's response to stress, recognizing its ability to adapt to various challenges.
