Prova curta ACTH

ACTH is the adrenocorticotropic hormone or the corticotropin called. It is produced in the cells of the anterior pituitary (front lobe of the pituitary gland) under the influence of CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone). ACTH, in turn, controls the biosynthesis and release of hormones from the adrenal cortex. The ACTH short test (Synacten test) describes a test … Prova curta ACTH

ACTH (hormona)

ACTH is the adrenocorticotropic hormone also known as corticotropin.It is produced in the cells of the anterior pituitary (front lobe of the pituitary gland) under the influence of CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone). ACTH, in turn, controls the biosynthesis and release of hormones from the adrenal cortex. The process Material needed EDTA blood Preparation of the patient … ACTH (hormona)

ADH (hormona antidiurètica)

ADH (synonyms: antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin, adiuretin) is a peptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland. Antidiuretic hormone promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys. This means that the body loses as little water as possible. As part of these processes, there is also an increase in blood pressure due to vasoconstriction … ADH (hormona antidiurètica)

Aldosterona

L'aldosterona és un mineralocorticoide produït a l'escorça suprarenal. Representa un enllaç important en el sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona (RAAS), que ajuda a regular la pressió arterial i l'equilibri de sal. L'augment de renina es produeix quan la manca de sodi a la sang o la hipovolèmia (disminució del volum sanguini) està determinada pels receptors. La renina al seu torn estimula l'activació...

androstenediona

Androstenedione is a male sex hormone that is produced in the adrenal cortex (zona reticularis). In women, it is additionally produced in the ovaries (ovaries) under the influence of LH (luteinizing hormone). Like the other sex hormones, it is synthesized from cholesterol and shows a circadian rhythm (highest values in the morning) and a cycle-dependent … androstenediona

Hormona anti-Mülleriana (AMH)

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH; Mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS)) is a proteohormone or glycoprotein that plays an important role in sexual differentiation during embryonic development. It is produced in male fetuses in the Sertoli cells of the testis and leads to the regression of the so-called Müller’s duct. This causes physiological development of the male gonads and … Hormona anti-Mülleriana (AMH)

CRH

CRH is corticotropin releasing hormone, also called corticoliberin. It is produced in the hypothalamus. It itself stimulates the formation and release of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), which is produced in the cells of the anterior pituitary gland. ACTH, in turn, controls the biosynthesis and secretion of hormones from the adrenal cortex. The process Material needed EDTA … CRH

Prova de supressió de la clonidina

The clonidine suppression test (synonym: plasma catecholamines after clonidine) is a diagnostic test to detect autonomic catecholamine production, such as occurs in pheochromocytoma. Principle: Clonidine is a centrally acting alpha-adrenergic agonist (stimulates presynaptic alpha-2 receptors in the CNS). This suppresses the release of catecholamines . Procedure Material needed 3.0 ml EGTA plasma, frozen, per blood … Prova de supressió de la clonidina

Perfil diari de Cortisol

Cortisol (cortisol; not to be confused with cortisone (cortisone), the inactivated form of cortisol) is a hormone synthesized in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex and belongs to the glucocorticoid group. It is regulated by higher-level hormones such as ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone).It has its function mainly effects on carbohydrate balance (promoting gluconeogenesis in the … Perfil diari de Cortisol

Cortisol en orina

Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal cortex and belongs to the glucocorticoid group. Its production and secretion are stimulated by ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). In the blood, 90% of it occurs in bound form; only about ten percent circulates freely. It is excreted by the kidneys. Its main effects include gluconeogenesis (new formation of … Cortisol en orina

Estrona (E1)

L'estradiol és un estrògen natural. Es sintetitza als ovaris (ovaris) i al teixit connectiu. L'estrona (E1) només té un terç de la potència biològica de l'estradiol. Com totes les hormones sexuals, està feta de colesterol. L'estrona és secretada directament per les cèl·lules productores d'hormones (per exemple, als ovaris o la glàndula suprarenal) abans de la menopausa. Després de la menopausa, es produeix estrona...

Hormona paratiroide (PTH)

Parathyroid hormone (PTH, synonyms: intact parathyroid hormone, iPTH; parathyrin) is a peptide hormone produced in the parathyroid glands (in the epithelial corpuscles/glandulae parathyroideae) via the precursors prepro-PTH and pro-PTH. Its half-life in the blood is very short, less than two minutes.It regulates calcium and phosphate balance. At the same time, it is involved in the … Hormona paratiroide (PTH)
