Study Notes
Reproductive Medicine and Pharmacology
- Sarah, a 25-year-old pregnant pharmacy tech, is filling a finasteride prescription, which inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
- Exposure to finasteride during pregnancy poses potential risks to both Sarah and her fetus due to its impact on androgen conversion.
- Androgen exposure can affect the development of a female fetus and cause androgen deficiency in a male fetus.
- The development of male and female phenotypic fetuses involves different duct systems and hormones, with DHT playing a role in male development.
- Cryptorchidism, undescended testicles, affects 2-5% of full-term male infants and 30% of premature infants, potentially leading to decreased fertility.
- Testosterone formation and metabolism involve 5-α-reductase type I and II, SHBG, and factors that can increase or decrease SHBG levels.
- Androgen action influences the development of male characteristics, HPA gonadotropin secretion, sexual maturation, and secondary sexual characteristics.
- Spermatogenesis involves germ cell development, FSH and LH regulation, and high intratesticular testosterone levels.
- The anatomy of the male reproductive system and the duct system of the testis play crucial roles in reproductive function and hormone regulation.
- The hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis controls the male reproductive system, involving GnRH, FSH, LH, and inhibin for spermatogenesis and testosterone formation.
- The endocrine control of the male reproductive system includes androgen-binding protein, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, and testosterone, all contributing to hormonal regulation.
