چکیده

Serum thyroid hormone concentrations were measured before and during 10 days' treatment with atenolol (200 mg/day), acebutolol (400 mg/day), oxprenolol (160 mg/day) and propranolol (160 mg/day) in 24 hyperthyroid patients. During propranolol treatment serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations fell significantly (P less than 0.05) but there was no change in thyroid hormone concentrations in the other groups although all patients reported a symptomatic improvement.

Evaluation of Cardiac Reserve in Hyperthyroid Patients with or without Beta-Adrenoreceptor-Blockade by Handgrip Exercise

To evaluate latent left ventricular dysfunction in patients with Graves' disease, hemodynamic response to isometric exercise were examined in 93 patients and 18 controls by impedance cardiography. All patients were treated with anti-thyroid drugs and 64 patients were stll clinically thyrotxic with elevated triiodothyronine (T3) in serum. The remaining 29 patients were clinically free of thyroto...

Effects of a Single Venous Dose of Zinc on Thyroid Status in Healthy Individuals and Patients With Graves' Disease

Zinc metabolism may regulate thyroid function acting at TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) synthesis, peripheral deiodination of T4 (tetraiodothyronine), and binding of thyroid hormones to nuclear receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute zinc administration on TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), FT3 (free triiodothyronine), and FT4 (free tetraiodothyronine) in 10 ...

The atrial natriuretic peptide- and catecholamine-induced lipolysis and expression of related genes in adipose tissue in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients.

Thyroid dysfunction is associated with several abnormalities in intermediary metabolism, including impairment of lipolytic response to catecholamines in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue (SCAAT). Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a powerful lipolytic peptide; however, the role of ANP-mediated lipolysis in thyroid disease has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate th...

Effect of thyroid hormones on basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion due to histamine, carbachol, and pentagastrin in rat (an in vitro study)

Although thyroid hormones are known to influence acid secretion, but exact mechanisms are not fully understood. So, in this experimental study carbachol, histamine, and pentagastrin were used to stimulate acid secretion in isolated stomach of hypo- and hyperthyroid rats and data were compared with controls. Each group consisted of 8 N-Mari rats from both sexes weighing 246 ± 5 g. Hypo- and hype...
