Thyroid hormone in cardiac transplantation: Cat chasing its tail?

Thyroid hormone deiodination in the domestic cat.

We have investigated thyroid hormone deiodination in the liver, kidney and thyroid of the domestic cat. Affinity labelling with (125)I-bromoacetyl reverse T(3) (125)(I-BrAc-rT(3) demonstrated that liver and kidney, but not the thyroid, express type I iodothyronine deiodinase (IDI), results that were confirmed by measuring the activity of the IDI using (125)I-rT(3) and T(4) as substrate. Feline ...

Thyroid hormone changes in early kidney transplantation and its correlation with delayed graft function.

INTRODUCTION Thyroid hormones affect kidney function and may alter with changes in kidney function, as well. We evaluated changes in serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxin (T4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) early after kidney transplantation and their relationship with delayed graft function (DGF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five consecutive kidney allograft recipients were...
