Question 8

is it true that osteoporosis is an endocrine disorder?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Some, but not all cases of osteoporosis are associated with gland problems: too much thyroid or parathyroid hormones from those glands; the adrenal gland putting out excess cortisone; the pituitary (master gland) can also increase some of these hormones.

Question 9

what is the treatment for multiple endocrine neoplasia?

Accepted Answer

Surgery usually: It depends what type (men1, 2a or 2b) you have. While hormone manipulation for parathyroid, calcium, and glucose can manage some symptoms, and hypertension can be managed with medication -- all of these "tumors" need to be removed to completely manage the disease. Generally, the pancreatic, adrenal and thyroid tumors are more troublesome than the parathyroid or pituitary.

Question 10

does prolactinoma condition inhibit oxytocin production?

Accepted Answer

Usually does not: Prolactinoma from a pituitary tumor affects the anterior pituitary. The posterior pituitary is usually not affected-this is where the cells for oxytocin reside. The excess prolactin secretion does not usually impact the oxytocin production.
