Content | 1Contents : 1. Interrelationships between different metabolisms. 2. Non-endocrine regulation. 3. Endocrine regulation *Basic concepts in endocrinology Endocrine glands. Functional relationship between the nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune system. 4. Hormonal regulation of carbohydrate metabolism a. Overview of carbohydrate metabolism Hormonal regulation: role of insulin and glucagon , role of catecholamines c. Hormonal regulation: role of insulin and glucagon , role of catecholamines , role of thyroid hormones , role of glucocorticoids , role of digestive hormones , hormones derived from amino acids (serotonin, dopamine, ....) c. Regulation of glycogen metabolism and hormonal regulation (liver, muscle) d. Examples of pathologies due to a disturbance in carbohydrate metabolism (lactose intolerance, type 1 diabetes, Fabry disease, etc.). 4. Hormonal regulation of protein metabolism Protein biosynthesis Neoglucogenesis Hormonal regulation: Role of insulin;- Role of GH; Role of sex hormones; Role of glucocorticoids; Role of other hormones 5.Hormonal regulation of lipid metabolism a. Overview of lipid metabolism b. Hormonal regulation: lipogenesis, lipolysis, regulation of cholesterol metabolism (synthesis and catabolism) and ketogenesis Regulation of metabolism by steroid hormones (cortisol) Examples of pathologies due to a disturbance in lipid metabolism (hypercholesterolaemia and atherosclerosis, hypertriglyceraemia, etc.). 6.
