Study Notes
Thyroid Function and Circadian Rhythms
- Glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) recognize glucocorticoids (GCs) in the hippocampus and other brain regions, leading to diverse effects and pathways.
- Pulsatility of GCs is crucial for brain function and short-term stress mediation.
- Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis can lead to health consequences such as Cushing's disease and Addison's disease.
- The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis involves the secretion of thyroid-releasing hormone (TRH) from neurons in the PVN of the hypothalamus, stimulating the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and subsequent production of thyroid hormones.
- The circadian rhythm is controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and involves transcription and translation feedback loops of clock genes.
- Evidence indicates that the circadian clock regulates the HPT axis and thyroid function, with human blood TSH levels exhibiting a clear daily rhythm.
- Thyroid hormone deficiency and excess can affect the circadian clock and metabolic function, leading to alterations in gene expression in various tissues.
- Thyroid nodules, both benign and malignant, exhibit alterations in the circadian clock machinery, potentially impacting thyroid function.
- Seasonal rhythms and thyroid function are influenced by the hormone melatonin, which reflects night length and affects the regulation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
- Melatonin receptor MT1 regulates the negative regulation of TSH, affecting the seasonal reproduction signal and preventing Pars distalis-derived TSH overactivity.
- Acute stress physiology can impact skilled motor performance, with the HPA axis playing a role in the physiological stress response.
- Previous studies on police have focused on cognitive responses to high-stress environments, but the impact on muscular impairments is also significant.
