Endocrine Pharmacology Study Roadmap

🔹 1. Thyroid Physiology & Pathophysiology

🔸 Physiology

• TRH (hypothalamus) → stimulates TSH (anterior pituitary) → stimulates T3/T4 release (thyroid)

• T3 = active, T4 = prohormone

• Feedback loop: T3/T4 inhibit TRH and TSH

• T3/T4 actions:

  • ↑ Metabolic rate, heart rate, cardiac output

  • ↑ Oxygen consumption, lipolysis, glucose metabolism

  • CNS effects (mood), reproductive effects

🔸 Synthesis

• Iodide uptake → oxidation to iodine → binds to thyroglobulin → forms MIT/DIT → forms T3/T4

🔸 Disorders

• Hypothyroidism: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, iodine deficiency, thyroidectomy, myxedema coma

• Hyperthyroidism: Graves' disease, toxic adenoma, thyroid storm

🔹 2. Thyroid Pharmacology

🔸 For Hypothyroidism

• Levothyroxine
