The Pituitary-Thyroid Axis in Acromegaly
The pituitary-Thyroid axis of 12 Acromegalic patients was evaluated by measurement of the concentration (Total and free of thyroxine T4, T3 and revers T3 (rT3) and TSH, GH and prolactin before and after in stimulation with TRH. Using an ultrasensitive method of TSH measurement (IRMA) basal serum TSH levels of patients (0.76, 0.07-l.90mlU/L) were found slightly but significantly (P < 0.01), low...
متن کاملThe hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis in critical illness.
The thyroid axis is comprised of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) at the level of the hypothalamus which stimulates the pituitary to release thyrotropin (TSH). TSH in turn stimulates the thyroid to secrete the pro-hormone thyroxin (T4) and to a lesser extent the receptor active hormone tri-iodothyronine (T3). The majority of circulating T3 is generated by peripheral conversion of T4 by the i...
متن کاملUnderstanding the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis in mct8 deficiency.
Thyroid hormone (TH) metabolism and action via binding to nuclear receptors are intracellular events that require the passage of TH across the plasma membrane. This process is mediated by specific TH transporters of which the monocarboxylate transporter 8 (Mct8) has received major attention. Mct8 is highly expressed in different tissues such as liver, kidney, thyroid, pituitary and brain. In hu...

متن کاملTreatment with Synthetic Glucocorticoids and the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis
Chronic glucocorticoid (GC) treatment represents a widely-prescribed therapy for several diseases in consideration of both anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity but, if used at high doses for prolonged periods, it can determine the systemic effects characteristic of Cushing's syndrome. In addition to signs and symptoms of hypercortisolism, patients on chronic GC therapy are at risk t...
