Thyroid hormone and cardiac function in mice deficient in thyroid hormone receptoror : an echocardiograph study. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 283: E428–E435, 2002; 10.1152/ajpendo.00019. 2002.—We investigated the effect of thyroid hormone (TH) receptor (TR) and isoforms in TH action in the heart. Noninvasive echocardiographic measurements were made in mice homozygous for disruption of TR (TR 0/0) or TR (TR / ). Mice were studied at baseline, 4 wk after TH deprivation (using a low-iodine diet containing propylthiouracil), and after 4-wk treatment with TH. Baseline heart rates (HR) were similar in wild-type (WT) and TR 0/0 mice but were greater in TR / mice. With TH deprivation, HR decreased 49% in WT and 37% in TR / mice and decreased only 5% in TR 0/0 mice from baseline, whereas HR increased in all genotypes with TH treatment. Cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) in WT mice decreased ( 31 and 32%, respectively) with TH deprivation and increased ( 69 and 35%, respectively) with TH treatment. The effects of CO and CI were blunted with TH withdrawal in both TR 0/0 ( 8 and 2%, respectively) and TR / mice ( 17 and 18%, respectively). Treatment with TH resulted in a 64% increase in LV mass in WT and a 44% increase in TR 0/0 mice but only a 6% increase in TR / mice (ANOVA P 0.05). Taken together, these data suggest that TR and TR play different roles in the physiology of TH action on the heart.

Bone Marrow Stromal Cells With Exercise and Thyroid Hormone Effect on Post-Stroke Injuries in Middle-aged Mice
Introduction: Based on our previous findings, the treatment of stem cells alone or in combination with thyroid hormone (T3) and mild exercise could effectively reduce the risk of stroke damage in young mice. However, it is unclear whether this treatment is effective in aged or middle-aged mice. Therefore, this study designed to assess whether combination of Bone Marrow Stromal Cells (BMSCs) wit...
متن کاملInm-7: Hypothyroidism and Pregnancy
A normal pregnancy results in a number of important physiological and hormonal changes that alter thyroid function. These changes mean that laboratory tests of thyroid function must be interpreted with caution during pregnancy. Levels of thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) and production of T3 and T4 hormones and the daily requirement of iodine in pregnancy are increased to 50%, TSH receptor stimu...

Background: To investigate thyroid function in preeclamptic patients in comparison with normal pregnant women. Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study free Thyroxine (T4), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels were measured in 100 preeclamptic patients and were compared with Free T4 and TSH levels in 101 normal pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy.

The first successful treatment of growth hormone (GH) deficient children with GH extracted from human pituitary was introduced during late 1950's. The subsequent availability and use of recombinant GH (rhGH) for different clinical conditions raised the question of whether this new therapeutic modality increases the risk of certain conditions such as leukemia or malignancy. Herein, we report o...
متن کاملSpecificity of thyroid hormone receptor subtype and steroid receptor coactivator-1 on thyroid hormone action.
Isoforms of the thyroid hormone receptor (TR)alpha and TRbeta genes mediate thyroid hormone action. How TR isoforms modulate tissue-specific thyroid hormone (TH) action remains largely unknown. The steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) is among a group of transcriptional coactivator proteins that bind to TRs, along with other members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, and modulate the activi...
