Role of endocrines in protein metabolism
1. Anterior pituitary. Growth or somatotrophic hormone (STH) is found
be protein anabolic, provided the insulin level high. There is marked increase
the plasma glutamine well by tissues when hormone
2. Insulin. Insulin prevents neoglucogenesis. It stimulates protein
synthesis growth. Insulin and growth hormone of the anterior pituitary operate
in close of the two, protein
3. Adrenal cortex. Glucocorticoids are protein catabolic. Excess of this
hormone results in retardation of growth, negative nitrogen balance and neoglucogenesis.
4. Thyroid. Thyroxin stimulates protein synthesis. Excessive secretion
of thyroxin promotes protein catabolism, wasting of the muscles, etc.
