This time we have developed an endocrine system pharmacology MCQ quiz with answers to check your knowledge about endocrine glands and disorders. The endocrine system makes hormones that control moods, organs, and growth. The endocrine glands are divided into the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands. There are a lot of issues that can arise in the system and prevent it from functioning correctly. There are also different prescribed drugs; this quiz will test how well you know them and their effect.

TZD
Sulfonylureas
Meglitinides
GLP-1
Sulfonylureas have less efficacy then meglitinides, leading to less incidences of hypoglycemia
Meglitinides bind to a different site then sulfonylureas, have a shorter duration of action, and have less risk of hypoglycemia
Meglitinides only cause partial depolarization of the cell, resulting in less insulin release
Anti-hypertensive, reduce blood pressure through the kidneys
Anti-hypoglycemic, increase blood sugar through the liver
Anti-hypothyrodic, increase levels of T4 from thyroid gland
Anti-diabetic, decrease amount of glucose reabsorbed by kidney
