Hormonal control and responses Types of Hormones • Amino acid derivatives – epinephrine, serotonin, melotonin • Protein – insulin, parathyroid hormone, growth hormone • Steroids – derived from cholesterol – sex hormones, mineralocorticoids, prostaglandins Hormone-receptor interaction • Some hormones circulate to all tissues, but only act on some • receptor must be present for effect to occur – eg thyroid stimulating hormone only exerts an effect on the thyroid – conversely some hormones work on virtually all tissues (insulin) Blood Hormone Concentration • the effect of a hormone related to concentration in blood (to a point) • Concentration affected by 4 factors – – – – rate of hormone secretion rate of metabolism or excretion transport proteins plasma volume (affected by exercise) Control of Hormone Secretion • Rate of insulin secretion from the pancreas is dependent on: – Magnitude of input – Stimulatory vs. inhibitory Factors That Influence the Secretion of Hormones Mechanisms of Hormone Action • alteration of membrane transport (insulin) • stimulation of DNA synthesis (testosterone, estrogen) • activation of “second messengers” – hormone doesn’t enter the cell Relationship of Hypothalamus, Pituitary and Target Glands The Hypothalamus is the “Master Gland” • the hypothalamus controls the pituitary in two ways – the hypothalamus can release “releasing hormones” • releasing hormones act on anterior pituitary (TSH, ACTH, GH) – neurons originating in the hypothalamus act on posterior pituitary (ADH) Positive and Negative Input to the Hypothalamus (Growth Hormone) Growth Hormone • uptake of amino acids and protein synthesis • opposes insulin – reduces use of plasma glucose – increases gluconeogenesis – mobilizes FFA Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) • causes resorbtion of H2O to maintain fluid • stimulated by two factors – high plasma osmolality (sweating) – low plasma volume (loss of blood, exercise) Intensity vs. Plasma ADH The Adrenal Glands • Medulla – secretes epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) • Cortex – secretes mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids Response to Catecholamines: Role of Receptor Type Receptor Type Effect of E/NE Membrane-bound enzyme Intracellular mediator Effects on Various Tissues 1 E=NE Adenylate cyclase cAMP Heart rate Glycogenolysis Lipolysis 2 E>>>NE Adenylate cyclase cAMP Bronchodilation Vasodilation 1 ENE Phospholipase C Ca++ Phosphodiesterase Vasoconstriction 2 ENE Adenylate cyclase cAMP Opposes action of 1 & 2 receptors Aldosterone (Mineralocorticoid) • regulates K+ and Na+ concentrations • controls resorbtion in the kidney • involved in thirst response Intensity vs. Mineralocorticoid Response Cortisol • Actions – promotes breakdown of tissue protein (inhibits protein synthesis) – mobilizes FFA from adipose – stimulates gluconeogenesis – blocks entry of glucose into tissues (increases fat utilization) • Involved in adaptation response to stress (exercise) Control of Cortisol Secretion Pancreas • Insulin – aids in transport of glucose into cells – stimulated when blood sugar increases (storage of glucose, amino acids and fat) – inhibited during exercise • Glucagon – opposite effect of insulin – stimulated by low blood glucose – mobilizes glucose and fatty acids Sex Hormones • testosterone – elevated during short-term high intensity exercise – levels typically lower in endurance trained individuals Estrogen • promotes higher levels of fat metabolism ? • chronic endurance training may suppress E2 (amenorrhea) Muscle Glycogen Utilization • glycogen metabolism controlled by epinephrine (cAMP) and intracellular Ca++ (calmodulin) from sarcoplasmic reticulum – epinephrine increases rapidly with intense exercise – adrenergic blockade – glycogen depleted only in exercising muscles • Ca++ faster than cAMP and more specific Blood Glucose Homeostasis During Exercise • mobilization of glucose from liver glycogen stores • mobilization of plasma FFA from adipose tissue to spare plasma glucose • synthesis of new glucose in the liver (gluconeogenesis) from AA, La, and glycerol • blocking of glucose entry into cells to force the substitution of FFA as a fuel Slow Acting Hormones • Thyroxine – allows other hormones (eg epinephrine) to exert effect • Cortisol • GH Cortisol and Maintenance of Plasma Glucose At low intensity, cortisol decreases- at high intensity it increases Growth Hormone Effects During Exercise Growth Hormone During Exercise • Combine amino acids and glycerol to make glucose in the liver • Breaks down triglycerides (fat) in the adipose tissue to make FFA available • Blocks entry of glucose into the cell • All of these go to maintain blood glucose Plasma GH Response vs. Intensity GH Response in Runners vs. Controls (Runners have improved response) Fast Acting Hormones • catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) – N primarily neurotransmitter at synapse – E primarily plasma hormone • insulin • glucagon Effects of Catecholamines during Exercise Catecholamines (adrenergic) During Exercise • Break down glycogen in liver to free glucose available • Break down triglycerides in the adipose tissue to make FFA available • Block entry of glucose into the cell Catecholamine Response during Prolonged Exercise Insulin (storage) vs. Glucagon (mobilization) Insulin Levels Reduced during Moderate to Intense Exercise Endurance Training Attenuates Insulin Response at Given Workload Reduced Glucagon Response after Endurance Training Take home… • Almost all of the hormonal responses will be attenuated with endurance training – Exception-growth hormone Glucagon Response Reduced after Endurance Training Because… • increased utilization of FFA as fuel substrate • decreased reliance on plasma glucose • therefore decreased reliance on liver glycogen Remember • -adrenergic… inhibition • -adrenergic… excitation Adrenergic Control of Pancreatic Hormones Effect of Increased Sympathetic Activity on Fuel Utilization Glucose Uptake by Cells can Increase 7-25 Fold During Exercise. How? • increased blood flow to exercising tissues • increased metabolism causes gradient (diabetics) • increased # s of glucose transporter at membrane (diabetics) General Hormonal Responses to Graded or Prolonged Exercise Lactic Acid Inhibits FFA Release from Adipose Tissue (Means?)
