Serum fetuin-A levels following recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulation

Serum fetuin-A levels following recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone stimulation.

PURPOSE Fetuin-A is a hepatokine that is linked to lipid metabolism, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disturbances. Our aim was to determine if TSH can regulate fetuin-A levels. METHODS Fetuin-A serum levels were examined in 26 subjects (19 women; previous...

Recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone in radioiodine thyroid remnant ablation.

BACKGROUND To prevent the unwarranted effects of post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism prior to radiodine (RAI) ablation, patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer can currently undergo this treatment while in a euthyroid state. This is achieved with the use of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) injections prior to the ablation. OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the efficacy of ...

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Sialadenitis following low dose I-131 diagnostic thyroid scan with Thyrogen® (recombinant human thyroid stimulating hormone--thyrotropin alfa).

Salivary dysfunction and sialadenitis are well known complications of radioiodine treatment for thyroid cancer. The parotid gland is more frequently affected and the salivary gland injury is dose related. The symptoms may develop shortly after therapeutic Iodine 131(I-131) administration or months later and progress with time. The development of unilateral parotiditis following a low dose, diag...

P-132: The Effect of Different Fetal Bovine Serum Levels on Recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells, Expressing HumanFollicle Stimulating Hormone

Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is one of the most common and effective gonadotropin hormones used in infertility treatment. Production of FSH as a drug is affordable as long as it is done with minimal cost. FBS is the most expensive component in medium culture furthermore; it’s being controversial to cause unnecessary suffering for the unborn calf for collection their serum. In ...
