Thyroid hormone action on mitochondria. IV. Redox states of intrinsic pyridine nucleotides in hypothyroidism, and influence of L-thyroxine.
نویسنده
چکیده
Measurements of fluorescence at >420 nm and extracted NADPH in mitochondria obtained from the livers of hypothyroid rats show that the addition of Pi, ADP and glutamate rapidly reduces over 90% of the total reducible intrinsic pyridine nucleotides in State 3, compared with 20% in normals. The total fluorescence intensity change and reducible NADP+ is about twice normal in hypothyroid mitochondria. Adding 6-30 microM L-thyroxine to hypothyroid mitochondria in vitro decreases and delays the substrate-induced reduction of pyridine nucleotides, and excludes both NADP+ from such reduction and NADPH from oxidation by added ADP + Pi, without changing the high NADP(H) content. The correcting actions of the hormone are rapidly reversed by albumin, probably by binding free hormone. Changes in respiration do not appear to account for these observations. There is indirect evidence for decreased phosphorylation of added ADP in hypothyroid mitochondria, and a correction by added hormone. The hormonal actions on NADP(H) redox reactions are not reproduced by 1 to 6 microM dinitrophenol in vitro. L-Thyroxine appears to specifically block the participation of NADP(H) in redox reactions in mitochondria from hypothyroid rats, perhaps by effecting a sequestration of the nucleotide, by inhibiting the pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase, or by activating an energy-linked process that competes with transhydrogenation.

Backgrounds and Aims: Thyroid hormones have a crucial physiological role to maintain balance of metabolism of body. Thyroid hormones have an important role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid gland also has a vital influence on erythropoiesis by induction of erythropoietin secretion and proliferation of erythroid progenitors. In the present study, it was tried to evaluate th...

Background and Objective: Patients with hypothyroidism require thyroid hormone replacement. Many studies have shown that bone density reduction is caused by suppressive doses of levothyroxine, but there are contradictory results regarding the effect of levothyroxine replacement dose (non suppressive). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of replacement doses of levothyroxine ...

Processes in submitochondrial vesicles obtained from the liver mitochondria of hypothyroid rats were compared at 25-30" with those from normal rats. Hypothyroidism did not alter the rates of oxidation of succinate or S-hydroxybutyrate,or energy-independent transhydrogenation of pyridine nucleotides. Energy-dependent transhydrogenation supported either by added ATP or by succinate oxidation was ...

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...
