Various Aspects of the Peripheral Metabolism of Thyroxine ( T 4 ) in Patients with Thyrotoxicosis Given Lugol ' s Iodine Fractional
نویسنده
چکیده
crease in T4 secretion induced by iodine is not the result of an acute, sustained inhibition of T4 synthesis, but rather results from an abrupt decrease in the fractional rate of thyroidal T4 release.

Studies of Thyroid Function
Recent studies have revealed an abnormality in the peripheral metabolism of thyroxine in patients with active untreated Graves' disease (1). In such patients, an abnormally large fraction of the extrathyroidal pool of thyroxine is degraded daily. Other authors have also observed an accelerated fractional turnover of thyroxine in patients with untreated Graves' disease (2, 3) and have postulated...
متن کاملHashimoto's thyroiditis and the role of selenium. Current concepts.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is part of the spectrum of autoimmune thyroid diseases. Clinical manifestations of HT are variable and commonly include diffuse or nodular goiter with euthyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and permanent hypothyroidism. Uncommonly, HT causes acute destruction of thyroid tissue and release of stored thyroid hormones, causing transient thyrotoxicosis (hashitoxicosis...
متن کاملThyroid hormone transport in the serum of patients with thyrotoxic Graves' disease before and after treatment.
Multiple indices of thyroid hormone binding have been studied in sera obtained from patients with thyrotoxic Graves' disease, before and after treatment, and in sera from a group of carefully matched normal controls. Specimens from patients with thyrotoxicosis displayed a decrease in the thyroxine (T(4))-binding capacities of T(4)-binding globulin (TBG) and T(4)-binding prealbumin (TBPA), an in...
متن کاملEffects of Norethandrolone
on the transport and peripheral metabolism of thyroxine were carried out in four patients lacking thyroxine-binding globulin. Before norethandrolone administration, values for serum protein-bound iodine (PBI) were decreased (1.8 ±0.5 Ag/100 ml) and the proportion of free thyroxine increased (0.036 ±0.008%). As a result, values for the absolute concentration of free thyroxine iodine were at the ...
متن کاملAlterations in thyroid iodine release and the peripheral metabolism of thyroxine during acute falciparum malaria in man.
Previous studies of thyroid function during various infections have yielded conflicting results, but most have suggested an acceleration of peripheral thyroxine (T(4)) turnover during the acute infectious illness. In the present studies, thyroid function was examined by a method allowing simultaneous analysis of both endogenous thyroidal release and peripheral T(4) disposal in normal volunteers...
