Hormones control appetite through two types of neurons - anorexigenic neurons that decrease appetite and orexigenic neurons that increase appetite. Key hormones that act on these neurons include leptin, insulin, PYY3-36, ghrelin, and thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is synthesized through a multi-step process involving iodine transport, oxidation, iodination of thyroglobulin, and hormone coupling and release. It acts through nuclear thyroid receptors to regulate metabolism and development.

● Not required for growth ● Required for normal skeletal and CNS development Leptin, Insulin Ghrelin (stimulus for GH) Increase glucose oxidation and gluconeogenesis PYY3-36 Increase glycogenesis and glycogenolysis ● Released from the colon ● Inhibits orexigenic neurons Synthesis 1. Iodine Trapping/Concentration ○ Iodide enters the follicular cell ○ Na-K ATPase pump system i. Inhibitor: Ouabain Leptin ○ Control point for thyroid hormone synthesis ○ Occurs in the salivary glands, gastric mucosa, Lipophobic (Class 2) placenta and mammary glands i. Not stimulated by TSH Action Decreases Appetite (Anorexigenic) ii. No TH formation Stimulates the sympathetic nervous system ○ Perchlorate/Thiocyanate ● Increases the release of norepinephrine i. Inhibitors of iodide uptake/Trapping ○ Perchlorate, Pertechnetate, Perrhenate Perchlorate, ○ Increased expression of UCP I Pertechnetate, Perrhenate (Uncoupling Protein) or thermogenin in 2. Oxidation the nucleus ○ TPO ■ Activation of TAG i. Oxidizes Iodide (I-) to Iodine (I2) hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) 3. Iodination or Organification of Thyroglobulin Inhibits TH synthesis ○ Stimulated by TSH ○ inhibited by anti-thyroid drugs ○ Iodine is incorporated into the tyrosine ring of Mode of Action JAK-STATE thyroglobulin ● Activates IRS-2 i. Forms 3-monoiodotyrosine (MIT) ○ Activates PI3K (inhibits food intake) ○ 2 molecules of iodine incorporated into the tyrosine residue i. Forms 3,5-diiodotyrosine (DIT) ○ Catalyzed by TPO 4. Coupling ○ 1DIT+1 MIT = T3 ○ 2DIT = T4 ○ Catalyzed by TPO ○ Inhibitor: Methimazole, PTU 5. Uptake ○ Acinar colloid droplets are phagocytosed and pinocytosed 6. Deiodination ○ NADPH-dependent thyrodinase forms Tyrosine and Iodide
