Thermodynamic TO DESCRIBE Spontaneity Direction We essentially need three factors Δ H Δ G Δ S
Δ H Exothermic (ΔH < 0) The system releases heat into the surroundings. The energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants. This is a common type of reaction in catabolism (breakdown processes).
Δ H Endothermic (ΔH > 0) The system absorbs heat from the surroundings. The energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants.
Δ H Significance ΔH indicates whether a reaction heats or cools its surroundings. However, it is not the sole factor determining whether a reaction is spontaneous Δ S
Significance: In biochemistry, the breakdown of food (which increases ΔS) is a powerful driving force for biochemical reactions. ΔS < 0: The system becomes more ordered opposes spontaneity and requires external energy ΔS > 0: The system becomes more disordered favors the spontaneity of the reaction ΔS: Measure of Disorder - the change in the level of randomness or disorder of the system.

Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG) - The Ultimate Measure of Change Δ G Standard Conditions (ΔG₀ and ΔG₀’):v
Standard Conditions (ΔG₀ and ΔG₀'): ΔG₀ The concentration of all substances is 1M The pressure is 1 atm The temperature is 25°C (298K) Standard pH typically of 0. ΔG₀’ The standard biochemical condition is defined with a pH = 7. ΔG0′=−RTlnK′=−2,303RT logK′ Where: R is the ideal gas constant. T is the absolute temperature (Kelvin). ΔG₀' is calculated in units of calories.

MỤC LỤC 1 HORMONE CONCEPT CLASSIFICATION OF HORMONES MAJOR EFFECTS OF HORMONES EXTENSIVE RESEARCHES
HORMONE CONCEPT
- A hormone is a biological catalyst (essentially a chemical mediator): - Secreted by specialized cells of endocrine glands. - Directly released into the bloodstream or body fluids. - Binds specifically to target tissues (organs, tissues, or cells with receptors) to stimulate or activate physiological and biochemical activities. (The mechanism of hormone action is understood as a ‘key-and-lock’ model with the target) .
CLASSIFICATION OF HORMONES
1 Classification of hormones Classification based on chemical nature Classification by Mechanism of Action, Solubility, and Receptor Location
Help to understand the method of synthesis, storage, and release of hormones, thereby knowing whether hormones are transported in the blood in a free or combined form: Peptide/protein: Synthesized ready, transported in free form Steroid/ amino acid derivatives: Precursors, transported in combined form 1. Classification based on chemical nature: Peptides Amino Acid Derivatives Extracellular Signals Steroids
Water-Soluble Hormones (Peptide hormones and amino acid derivative hormones) Group II Group I Lipid-Soluble Hormones (Steroid hormones and thyroid hormones) Subgroup IIA: Cyclic AMP – cAMP (e.g., FSH, TSH, LH, etc.). Subgroup IIB: Calcium or Phosphoinositides (e.g., Oxytocin, TRH, etc.). Subgroup IIC: Second messenger is unknown, typically Insulin (e.g., GH, Prolactin) Predicting the time and type of action on target cells , explaining the regulatory mechanism , determining the clinical significance and relevance for studying pathogenic agents or drugs. 2. Classification by Mechanism of Action, Solubility, and Receptor Location
MAJOR EFFECTS OF HORMONES
MAJOR EFFECTS OF HORMONES Lipid-Soluble Hormone Group Water-Soluble Hormone Group Steroid Hormones
Significance for Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention Requires measurement of free and total hormone levels. Treatment Diagnosis Involves hormone replacement (for deficiency) or anti-hormone/recept or antagonists (for excess ) Prevention Control of long-term risk factors (nutrition, electrolytes, iodine)
EXAMPLE ( Aldosterone ) Measurement of Aldosterone + Renin Treatment Diagnosis Spironolactone . Prevention Salt restriction, blood pressure screening/management
- This group includes Peptide/Protein hormones and hormones that are Amino Acid derivatives (e.g., catecholamines, histamine, melatonin). - Receptor: Located on the cell membrane. - Mechanism: Elicits a fast, short physiological response on the target tissue via intracellular signaling pathways. 2. Water-Soluble Hormone Group:
Significance for Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention Requires dynamic tests and repeated quantification. Treatment Diagnosis Cannot be taken orally; must be administered by injection/infusion; both agonists and antagonists are used. Prevention Is very important to prevent acute and chronic complications.
EXAMPLE ( Insulin ) Insulin (Typical Peptide Hormone) - Secreting Cells: Beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans. - Receptor Location: On the cell membrane of target cells in skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and liver. - Action on Target Tissue: Increases glucose transport from the blood into the cell , stimulates glycogen synthesis (liver, muscle) , inhibits gluconeogenesis , and stimulates protein and fatty acid synthesis (liver).
EXAMPLE ( Insulin ) Quantification of insulin and C-peptide to differentiate between type 1 diabetes mellitus (absolute insulin deficiency) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (insulin resistance) Treatment Diagnosis - Exogenous insulin injection is a life-saving therapy for patients with both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). - A variety of insulin preparations are available to help adjust blood glucose according to physiological needs. Prevention Using the correct insulin dose, combined with diet and exercise, is crucial to prevent acute complications (hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia) and chronic complications (renal, ocular, cardiovascular).
Hormones Target organ Target organ Progesterone Progesterone prepares the endometrium for implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. - Prepares the endometrium for implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. - Stimulates the development of mammary glands. Estradiol Promotes proliferation and thickening of the endometrium. - Promotes proliferation of the endometrial lining. - Regulates the menstrual cycle. - Stimulates bone growth. - Promotes development of female secondary sexual characteristics. 3. Steroid Hormones:
Hormones Target organ Target organ Aldosteron - Increases Na⁺ reabsorption. - Enhances K⁺ excretion. - Contributes to increased blood pressure by expanding extracellular fluid volume. Thyroxin - Promotes growth, development, and maturation of fetal tissues. - Increases basal metabolic rate (BMR). 3. Steroid Hormones:
