BIOC 460 DR. TISCHLER LECTURE 35 SYNTHESIS OF CHOLESTEROL & STEROIDS

OBJECTIVES 1.Cholesterol : a)physiological functions b)synthesis: i) key intermediates; ii) key coenzyme; iii) rate determining reaction iv) regulation 2.Bile acids: a)physiological functions b) synthesis: i) rate determining reaction; ii) 1 st reaction; iii) regulation

OBJECTIVES (cont.) 3.Steroid hormones: a) five general classes b) main human form c) synthesis of cortisol and aldosterone: i) where it occurs; ii) general pathways outline iii) intermediates common to both pathways iv) consequences of defective 21-hydroxylase d) pathway for synthesis of androgens in adrenal cortex and in testes, for estrogen in ovaries and in adipose tissue. 4.Disorders associated with vitamin D deficiency in children and in adults. 5.Disorder associated with estrogen loss in postmenopausal women.

CHOLESTEROL AND BILE ACIDS (SALTS) in tissues and plasma lipoproteins as free cholesterol or esterified synthesized from acetyl CoA and eliminated as bile acids precursor of all other steroids in the body product of animal metabolism - in foods of animal origin amphipathic lipid (hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions) essential structural component of membranes transported in the circulation in lipoproteins storage form is cholesterol ester found in most tissues.

The physiological roles of cholesterol include: a)an important lipid component of biological membranes, b)precursor of steroid hormones and c)source of bile acids. ROLES OF CHOLESTEROL AND BILE ACIDS (SALTS) Bile acids are polar derivatives of cholesterol and aid in: a)lipid digestion b)lipid absorption c)cholesterol excretion

Table 1. Functions of Hormones Derived from Cholesterol ProductFunctions Progesteroneprepares uterus lining for implantation of ovum Glucocorticoids (cortisol) (produced in adrenal cortex) (catabolic steroid) promote gluconeogenesis; favor breakdown of fat and protein (fuel mobilization); anti-inflammatory Mineralocorticoids (aldosterone) (produced in adrenal glands) maintains blood volume and blood pressure by increasing sodium reabsorption by kidney

Androgens (strongest = testosterone) (produced in testes primarily but weak androgens in adrenal cortex) (anabolic steroid) development of male secondary sex characteristics; prevents bone resorption Estrogen (produced in ovaries primarily but also in adipose cells of males and females) development of female secondary sex characteristics; prevents bone resorption Vitamin D (not a steroid hormone) (produced in the skin in response to UV light and processed to active form in kidney) intestinal calcium absorption; promotes bone formation; prevents phosphate loss by kidneys Table 1. Functions of Hormones Derived from Cholesterol (continued) ProductFunctions

Rickets in an adolescent is caused by exclusion from sunlight and dietary vitamin D Vitamin D deficiency in adults is osteomalacia Patient pictures cannot be displayed on the web

Osteoporosis post-menopausally in a patient can cause vertebral crush fractures Estrogen loss allows osteoclast (bone destroying) action to overshadow osteoblast (bone-forming) action Patient pictures cannot be displayed on the web

AND NOW FOR A HUMOROUS INTERLUDE A 70-year old Tennessee man who enjoyed frequent intercourse inexplicably grew breasts reports the book “The Man Who Grew Two Breasts and Other True Tales of Medical Detection. It turns out his menopausal wife used LIBERAL doses of estrogen-laced vaginal cream for lubrication. Apparently he absorbed the powerful female hormone during sex and voila!
