Another easy way that I remember 11, 17, and 21 is to turn all of the 1's into an upward arrow. The non-1 numbers will be downward. The first number is the mineralocorticoids/BP and the second number is the sex hormones. Potassium will be opposite the BP. So for example in 21def, Mineralocorticoids and BP will be down, sex hormones up, potassium up. Simple and quick way to remember them especially on the boards. But this video is great too!
Dirty thank you so much for this. I swear to god once I become a practicing physician I will buy the costliest membership your channel has, you're a literal lifesaver man
I'm actually crying. I have agonized over this since day 1 of dedicated and am still missing questions 5 weeks later. This is literally a game changer.
There was one question about this on my biochemistry shelf exam. Thank god that right before the exam I watched this..! Thank you for all your efforts for helping medical students out! you are a gem!
Haha do you still use the 21 year old cuz he’s not salty and the 17 year old who’s salty? LEGIT USED THIS ON MY SCHOOL EXAM SO MANY TIMES. Youre the best, dirty! Taking step next Friday, wish me luck!
This video is a game changer! Thank u so much dirty! I currently on dedicated time for step1 and I have seen all ur biochem videos/question bank and I feel that I got a lot information organized, this is gold!
This is great! So much easier to remember a story than some up arrow is this or that or this letter stands for this or that. Too many of those types of mnemonics get my head all jumbled.
Thankyouuuuu so much dirty I've been learning this since couple of month but couldn't get the concept but now I'm so happy ☺ you're blessing for us literally man keep it up 💗
My mnemonic is very similar to M. Abdo. The way I remember it is, Aldo the CAT! Number 1 = ↑, In Example, 21 = 2↑ C A T (cortisol, Aldosterone, testosterone) 2↑ will ↑ testosterone ↑7 will increase aldosterone (salt, and the water will follow the salt) ↑ ↑ will ↑ both Aldosterone and Testosterone (aldosterone will not ↑ but deoxy-corticosterone will ↑ causing almost the same effect) C or cortisol will always be down for that reason it doesn’t have any arrow drawn. ↑Aldosterone ≈ ↑minerocorticoids = ↑salt = ↑BP and is opposite to K. / The same will happen with opposite arrows. ↑ Testosterone = ↑ sex hormone = female will have ambiguous genitalia/ males will have early puberty ↓ testosterone = ↓sex hormone = female will not develop secondary characteristics / males will have ambiguous genitalia (look like females) This works for me hopefully will work for you too!
Oh my God! You literally saved my life when you said I don't have to memorize that crazy chart. I love your videos. Thank you so much. BTW, is there any option for someone who wants to donate one time or sometimes on your channel but not every month?
Amazing! Until the question asks you which substrate isn't being converted to which product, then you kinda have to have some idea about whats going on in the table.
Hello! Can you make a video with some adrenal enzyme deficiency questions only and show how to solve using your technique? Thanks for the mnemonic anyways! Keep up the good work.
I'm in love with this video.... Man you are a blessing for medicos like us who are trying to score better in the stupidest exam of india.. Neet pg... 🤣... Take love man... ❤️
As long as potential doctors can remember and use this information when they're qualified and practicing. it will make the diagnosis for patients like me a lot easier instead of having to endure years of misery as one doctor or another totally missis or doesn't recognise the symptoms. I'm a person who is now steroid dependent after bilateral adrenalectomy that may well have not been necessary.

You're a genius! thanks a lot!
I am still amazed at how much information you gave in a couple sentences. Nice job!!!
Dude wtf! You rock
Thank you, this is super helpful :D
Amazing!!!
when u started this video saying i wouldn't have to memorize that chart i knew i was in love.
Dirty thank you so much for this. I swear to god once I become a practicing physician I will buy the costliest membership your channel has, you're a literal lifesaver man
EDIT: welp there's only one rn, but maybe you'll have expanded by then (?) xD
We shall see! Thanks :D
This is the only stupid High Yield nemonic that I care about in my life. Thanks Dirty Medicine, keep it up with these videos.
You are phenomenal, I only wish I discovered this channel earlier. My step 1 is tomorrow and your videos are life savers.
I'm actually crying. I have agonized over this since day 1 of dedicated and am still missing questions 5 weeks later. This is literally a game changer.
To add : you get WASTED on your 21st birthday. 21 is salt wasting
thats genius! never gonna forget this :) thanks
You are amazing! I have a test next week and saw that map and I was dying! Thanks for making it so much easier.
Omg this is genius! I have an Endocrinology test on Monday and this really helped a lot.
I live for the few seconds of dirty mocking us "OH DURTY I DONT WANNA..."
i bet if more people knew about these videos the STEP averages would be waayyy higher lol. Thanks for this, this will save me so much time
There was one question about this on my biochemistry shelf exam. Thank god that right before the exam I watched this..! Thank you for all your efforts for helping medical students out! you are a gem!
may God bless you i suffered a lot at that topic sir you are literally amazing
AMAZING :) Spent so long trying to simplify this pathway & you did it under 10 min. Thank you!!
This is truly mind-blowing explanation. If you can explain it easy way, then you understand it.
You are a living legend for all the medics
Haha do you still use the 21 year old cuz he’s not salty and the 17 year old who’s salty?
LEGIT USED THIS ON MY SCHOOL EXAM SO MANY TIMES. Youre the best, dirty! Taking step next Friday, wish me luck!
good luck friend. crush it!
Your videos are gold and they make me so happy. Thank you for what you do, you're doing God's work.
This is the smartest mnemonic I've ever come across, just epic👌 Salute you man👏
idk how many times i unsuccessfully tried to learn this omg THANK YOU
In many hard topics, I could not survive without you
This video is a game changer! Thank u so much dirty! I currently on dedicated time for step1 and I have seen all ur biochem videos/question bank and I feel that I got a lot information organized, this is gold!
great stories you have created to make memorizing this topic so easy
thank you so much :)
I finally got it. Thank you! I choose you because I always look forward to laughing a bit while learning what I need to know!!
You deserve a crown bruh, cuz you're a KING!
thanks :)
You explained this so well I could cry!! THANKS
This is great! So much easier to remember a story than some up arrow is this or that or this letter stands for this or that. Too many of those types of mnemonics get my head all jumbled.
Man, you are too creative, congrats!
You are a savior Dirty! Bless you
You really called me out with that opening XD
Thankyouuuuu so much dirty I've been learning this since couple of month but couldn't get the concept but now I'm so happy ☺ you're blessing for us literally man keep it up 💗
IT is Just gorgeous way to nail that topic
My mnemonic is very similar to M. Abdo. The way I remember it is, Aldo the CAT!
Number 1 = ↑, In Example, 21 = 2↑
C A T (cortisol, Aldosterone, testosterone)
2↑ will ↑ testosterone
↑7 will increase aldosterone (salt, and the water will follow the salt)
↑ ↑ will ↑ both Aldosterone and Testosterone (aldosterone will not ↑ but deoxy-corticosterone will ↑ causing almost the same effect)
C or cortisol will always be down for that reason it doesn’t have any arrow drawn.
↑Aldosterone ≈ ↑minerocorticoids = ↑salt = ↑BP and is opposite to K. / The same will happen with opposite arrows.
↑ Testosterone = ↑ sex hormone = female will have ambiguous genitalia/ males will have early puberty
↓ testosterone = ↓sex hormone = female will not develop secondary characteristics / males will have ambiguous genitalia (look like females)
This works for me hopefully will work for you too!
I'm so glad that I discovered your channel!!! Testing in 1 week and I'm binge watching your videos lol
Very funny but useful to memorise it! Thank you~
"his voice probably still cracks to be honest w you"
Thank you for being a Dirty Medicine member!
What a great lecture thanks sir
You are just very impressive. Thank you
OMG i just had this on my exam!!
Wouldn't have gotten this right without the mnemonic because i hadn't reviewed this for a long time :D
I absolutely hate this topic :’) thank you so much for this

Amazing! Until the question asks you which substrate isn't being converted to which product, then you kinda have to have some idea about whats going on in the table.
