Q

what types of estrogen are produced by the ovary, placenta, and adipose tissue?

A

Ovary: 17b estradiol

A

estradiol>estrone>estriol

3
Q

Describe the roles of the theca and granulosa cells in production of estrogen

A

Theca: converts cholesterol to andostrenedione with desmolase
granulosa: converts andtrostene dione to estrogen with aromatase

4
Q

What are progesterone levels expected to be during ovulation?

A

Low

5
Q

What are the roles of estrogen and progesterone in the growth of endometrium?

A

Estrogen- stimulates proliferation

Progesterone- maintains endometrium

6d

8
Q

What are the roles of different hormones in lactation?

9
Q

What hormonal change is specific to menopause?

A

Incr FSH

10
Q

Where are the testosterones produced? Compare potency

A

DHT and testost- testis
androstenedione- adrenal
DHT>testosterone>androstenedione

11
Q

Finasteride

A

inhibits 5a-reductase, conversion of testosterone to DHT

12
Q

What converts testosterone to estrogen in males? where?

A

P450 aromatase

testis and adipose tissue

13
Q

How do you distinguish between primary hypogonadism vs hypogonadotropic hypogonadism?

A

LH incr in primary, decr in HH

14
Q

What is the result of excess androgen exposure to a female?

A

female psuedohermphrodite- ovaries present but genitalia virlized or ambiguous

15
Q

What is the result of androgenic insensitivity in males?

A

male psuedohermphrodite- testes present, external genitalia female or ambiguous

16
Q

What does aromatase deficiency cause?

A

inability to synthesize estrogen from androgen

  • masculinization of female
  • virilization of mom
17
Q

What cells are involved to make complete vs partial mole

A

Complete: enucleate egg+ single sperm
partial: egg+ 2 sperm

18
Q

Describe hCG levels for partial and complete mole

A

greatly increased in complete; increased but not as much in partial

19

23
Q

What do E6 and E7 do?

A

E6: inhibits p53
E7: inhibits RB supressor

24
