1.
adrenogenital syndrome (AGS): adrenal androgen hypersecretion (accompanies Cushing)
enlargement of external sexual organs in children and early onset of puberty. newborn girls exhibit masculinized genitalia
masculinizing effects on women
increased body hair, deeper voice and beard growth
2.
catecholamines: epinephrine and norepinephrine
3.
congenital hypothyroidism: (decreased TH) hyposecretion present a birth (formerly cretinism) treat with oral thyroid hormone
4.
Cushing syndrome: excess cortisol secretion. hyperglycemia, hypertension, weakness, edema. rapid muscle and bone loss due to protein catabolism. abnormal fat deposition. moon face and buffalo hump
5.
diabetes insipidus: head trauma affects pituitary gland's ability to secrete ADH
- chronic polyuria
6.
hyperparathyroidism: excess PTH secretion. parathyroid tumor. bones become soft, fragile, and deformed. Ca2+ and phosphate blood levels increase. promotes renal calculi formation
7.
hypoparathyroidism: surgical excision during thyroid surgery. fatal tetany in 3 - 4 days due to rapid decline in blood calcium level
8.
myxedema: (decreased TH) adult hypothyroidism. treat with oral thyroid hormone
9.
pheochromocytoma: tumor of adrenal medulla secretes excessive epinephrine and norepinephrine
