Insulin & Oral Agents
This hormone is required to transport glucose into the cell.
What is insulin?
This is the active hormone secreted from the thyroid gland.
What is triiodothyronine (T3)?
This term is used to describe the inverse relationship between the hormone concentration and the output from the pituitary gland.
What is negative feedback?
Cortisol is secreted from this region of the adrenal gland.
What is the cortex?
These 2 hormones are released from the pancreas.
Insulin and glucagon
This is the initial dose of insulin given to treat DKA
What is 0.1 U/kg/hr?
Treatment of myxedema coma includes administering either of these 2 thyroid medications.
What is levothyroxine or liothyronine?
The anterior pituitary communicates with the hypothalamus via this pathway.
What is vascular?
Corticosteroids have this effect on the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
What is suppression?
This MOA of glucagon leads to increased inotropy, without stimulation of adrenergic beta receptors.
What is increased cAMP
Degludec has a duration of action of up to this many hours.
What is 42 hours?
Fetal brain development relies on this circulating maternal substance.
What is thyroxine?
The 2 hormones that are stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary include:
What are arginine vasopressin (ADH) and oxytocin?
What is the common IV dose of dexamethasone that would be given to treat airway inflammation after direct laryngoscopy.
What is 10 mg?
This class of oral glycemic agents can cross the placenta and may cause hypoglycemia in the infant.
What are sulfonylureas?
This drug inhibits enzymes that breakdown lactate and can worsen lactic acidosis.
What is metformin?
Amiodarone causes a hypothyroid state by this mechanism.
This is the IV bolus dose of vasopression used to treat refractive hypotension.
What is 1 unit?
To restore plasma volume during the treatment of septic shock, this is the preferred corticosteroid.
What is fludrocortisone?
This substance has been added to intermediate-acting insulin to delay its release.
What is protamine?
This class of oral anti-diabetic agents can inhibit a cardioprotective mechanism and should be held 24-48 hours prior to anesthesia.
What are sulfonylureas?
This drug is the preferred treatment of hyperthyroid disorders in pregnant patients.
What is propylthiouracil?
High plasma concentrations of oxytocin can stimulate these receptors leading to excessive fluid retention and hyponatremia.
What is vasopression receptors?
What equation can be used as a guide for preoperative steroid stress dose administration.
What is past use + surgical stress = dose?
Cortisol release from the adrenal glands is stimulated by circulating levels of this hormone found in the anterior pituitary.
What is adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH)?
