چکیده

10 normal young men received repository epinephrine repeatedly for 4 days during the course of a radiothyroxine (radio-T4) disappearance curve. During epinephrine administration, serum radio-T4 disappearance rate (k) slowed abruptly, fecal clearance decreased, urinary clearance was initially unchanged but later decreased slightly, volume of thyroxine distribution decreased, and external radioactivity over the liver remained unchanged. Beginning on day 2 of epinephrine and persisting at least 1 day after epinephrine was discontinued, serum thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) maximal binding capacity increased, thyroxine-binding prealbumin (TBPA) maximal binding capacity decreased, and free T4 iodine decreased. Stable serum T4 iodine decreased during the experiment. Three indexes, namely the free T4 iodine, the reciprocal of TBG capacity, and the urinary radio-T4 "clearance" changed in parallel, suggesting that the increase in TBG capacity was responsible for a delayed decrease in radio-T4 metabolism. However, these changes were temporally dissociated from the decrease in k, which began and ended abruptly with initiation or discontinuing of epinephrine administration. This dissociation is unexplained, but may be caused by alterations in T4 binding in tissue sites.

Effect of thyroxine injection on female growth performance and hematological parameters of sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus)

Thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)] are also known to play an important function in other biological processes such as growth, sexual development and metabolism in different fish species. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the effects of T4 injection on growth performance and hematological indices in sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus) broodstock. Th...

The Effect of Bromocriptine on the Secretion of Hypophysial Thyroidal Hormonal Axis

Thyrotropine secretion in human beings is under the influence of various factors. The effect of the hormones, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, somatostatin and thyroid-stimulating hormone has been well known. In this study the direct effect of stimulation of the dopaminergic system by bromocriptine on the thyrotropine secretion was investigated. In this study twenty women with hyperprolactinemia r...

Renewed interest in thyroid-adrenal interrelations has followed recent demonstrations that alterations in the availability of certain adrenocortical steroids may induce pronounced changes in the metabolism of iodine (1-9). These changes have been variously ascribed to effects of cortical steroids on the pituitary gland (1), the thyroid (10, 11) and the kidney (12, 13). Resolution of the precise...
