The hypothalamus, a four gram portion of the brain, receives a great deal of biochemical attention because of its function in the autonomic nervous system, in homeostasis, and in endocrine secretion. Its liberation of neurohormones that stimulate the hypophysis has already been considered in Section A,3. The hypothalamus is also involved in the regulation of the body temperature, of water balance, and possibly of glucose concentration.

Q10 Many endocrine secretions are controlled by negative feedback systems. When the thyroid is stimulated and thyroid hormone concentration increases, it inhibits production of TSH to reduce further stimulation of the gland. As thyroid hormone secretion then diminishes, the negative feedback on the anterior pituitary is reduced and TSH secretion increases again. Basically, in... 

Q12 Endocrine secretions are hormones, substances made in a location from which they are carried in blood to their site of action elsewhere. Exocrine secretions are produced and secreted into another organ or onto the body surface, usually via ducts which carry them to their site of action.

In conclusion, injury leads to a blanket stimulation of endocrine secretion. This increased activity, with a few notable exceptions, does not appear to play a causal role in subsequent metabolic responses to trauma... 

The immediately early and later effects of the response to trauma in experimental animals and in patients housed at normal temperatures and which are all part of the inflammatory response, and the relation of these to such changes in the level of endocrine secretions as occur, are described. The time factor in the response to multiple injuries is also considered. 

Clusterin is a heterodimeric glycoprotein produced by a wide array of tissues and found in most biological fluids. The proposed physiologic functions of clusterin include complement regulation, lipid transport, sperm maturation, initiation of apoptosis, endocrine secretion, membrane protection, and promotion of cell interactions. 

The major therapeutic use of SST is to block hormone release in endocrine-secreting tumors, Available SST analogs and their clinical uses are described in Chapter 55. Since the analog octreotide also can decrease blood flow to the GI tract, it has been used to treat bleeding esophageal varices, peptic ulcers, and postprandial orthostatic hypotension.
