Decreased serum T3 concentrations in elderly subjects and their possible relationship with the development of dementia have been indicated. To see the effects of a passive increase in the serum T3 concentration, low dose T3 administration was undertaken. Forty-four subjects from 65 to 93 years of age (average 81.0 +/- 7.8) were divided into 2 groups. The grade of dementia was determined by Hase...

Thyroid hormone has a broad effect on cardiovascular system. 3,3',5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3), a biologically active form of thyroid hormone, increases cardiac contractility. T3 causes arterial relaxation and reduction of systemic vascular resistance, resulting in an increase in cardiac output. However, the molecular mechanisms of vascular relaxation by T3 are incompletely characterized. We stud...

t4 and t3, two major hormones of thyroid gland, are responsible for regulation of “basal metabolism” in the body. thyroid function is regulated primarily by variation in the pituitary tsh. in this study, about four hundred individuals were considered from four iranian populations. they were selected randomly in their cities; shiraz, mashhad, rasht, and ilam. essential family information was ask...

The thyroid hormone receptor from rat liver nuclei has been covalently labeled with the N-bromoacetyl derivatives of L-thyroxine (T4) and 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3). Displacement binding studies showed that, in the presence of 100-fold molar excess of unlabeled N-bromoacetyl-T3 or T4, binding of [125I]T3 or [125I]T4 was nearly totally inhibited. Heat inactivation of the receptor (55 degree...

The new tonal pattern, a falling-rising pitch sequence, emerges from nominal reduplications produced by young children, teenagers, and motherese in Taiwan Mandarin. The pattern implies a child-like speech style and an intimate relationship between speakers and addressees, so application of the pattern usually denotes innocence, ingeniousness, and coyness. The morphophonological pattern sounds l...

The present study demonstrates that 3,5,3'-tri-iodothyronine (T3) in physiological dose range inhibits tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNFalpha)/Fas-induced apoptosis in mouse hepatocytes. T3 pretreatment prevented Fas-induced early stage of apoptosis signs assessed by flow cytometry analysis of the annexin V positive cell population. T3 attenuated TNFalpha/Fas-induced cleavage of caspase-8 and DNA...

با توجه به اهمیت حذف یون استرانسیم موجود در پساب‌­های هسته­ای، کار حاضر ضمن سنتز لیگاندهای هیدروکسی بنزآلدهید پروپیل تری اتوکسی سیلان (Si-HL3(EtO)) و پیریدیل متیلیدین (Si-L3(EtO)) بررسی خصوصیات نانو ذرات سیلیکای اصلاح ­شده این لیگاندها ­عنوان جاذب جامد از محلول آبی پرداخته شد پارامترهایی مانند pH، زمان، جرم جاذب، دما یون‌­های مزاحم مورد آزمایش قرار گرفت. رفتار جذبی جاذ­ب‌­ها نشان داد سطح توانای...

The thyroid hormone 3,3',5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3) is essential for growth, differentiation, and development. Its biological activities are mediated by T3 nuclear receptors (TRs). At present, how T3 regulates TR proteins and the resulting functional consequences are still unknown. Immunofluorescence analyses of endogenous TR in the growth hormone-producing GC cells showed that the T3-induced r...
