THE BASAL METABOLISM IN HYPOTHYROIDISM

The effect of maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood in rats

Introduction: Many of the diseases of adulthood are originated from the intrauterine conditions during fetal life. Because of the importance of thyroid hormones in growth and development of the fetus, the effects of maternal hypothyroidism on carbohydrate metabolism in adulthood was investigated. Methods: Pregnant rats were divided into the fetal hypothyroidism (FH) and the control (C) group...

Hypothyroidism on Lipid Metabolism

The thyroid gland is important in the human body because of its ability to produce the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and tetraiodothyronine (T4), necessaries for appropriate energy levels and an active life. It has long been known that thyroid hormones are of vital importance in maintaining the initial level of phospholipids in cell membranes and fatty acids composition of the lipids (Prasad &...

Impaired nitrazepam metabolism in hypothyroidism ROSE

Nitrazepam is frequently used for sedation in elderly patients, some of whom may be particularly sensitive to its central effects. There have been no previous reports of delayed metabolism of nitrazepam in association with hypothyroidism. The following case report illustrates such a delay and also demonstrates some of the atypical features of hypothyroidism at presentation in elderly subjects.

Magnesium metabolism in hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

Factors Affecting Basal Metabolism

Superficial observations have led us to the general belief that the vital processes are much the same with average individuals. It is true that we are inclined to classify people as high-strung and nervous on the one hand and phlegmatic on the other; yet, on the average, the normal individual apparently has a metabolic plane comparable to his neighbor’s, for the general uniformity in the energy...
