Med., 1973, 110 (4), 319-327-A 35-year-old man had vague complaints as headache, vertigo, nausea and fatigability. His face was slightly edematous but ocular symptoms or goiter were not observed. BMR and serum BEI were low; thyroidal 24-hours 131I-uptake was l...

The serum alpha-I acid glycoprotein of 9 euthyroid subjects, 14 hypothyroz"d patients and 21 hyperthyroz"d patients was determined by radial immunodiffussion in agar plates. The serum alpha1 acid glycoprotez"n level in both the hypothyroz"d and hyperthyroz"d patients were sz"gnifz"cantly lowered when compared to the euthyroid subjects. There was no sz"gnifz"cant correlation between the alpha-I ...

the incidence of mole pregnancy appears to be higher in iran than in europe or north america. this gave us an opportunity to study a number of biochemical measurements related to the thyroid. in 14 patients with hydatiform mole, the t3 resin uptake, serum thyroxine (t4), etr, t3 ria, human serum tsh (htsh) and serum human chorinic gonadotropin (hcg) were measured. of the 14 patients 6 showed cl...

N AUTOMATED TECHNIQUE for the determination of serum T31 uptake, based on the AutoAnalyzer, was proposed by Pollard et al. (1); a report of the clinical application of this method followed (2) and minor technical improvements were reported by Webber et al. (3). The latter showed an excellent correlation between the T3 uptake as measured by the automated technique and serum PBI. Continued experi...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the current status of sonographic characteristics of thyroid nodules in Isfahan, a previously iodine deficient area in central Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study conducted in 2006, 2523 adult people (age > 20 years) were selected by a multistage clustering sampling method. Of these people, 263 volunteered persons were un...

in order to evaluate the effect of liothyronine formulated by iran hormone co.(lt3,ih), 20 patients with primary hypothyroidism received 25mg lt3-ih daily. another 40 hypothyroids were randomly divided into 4 groups and entered a double blind clinical trail. two groups received 37.5 and 50mg ltrih and other two groups took 37.5 and 50mg cytomel (ltr skf). serum t4, t3 and tsh concentrations and...

Brien, T. G., Fay, J. A., and Griffin, E. A. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 225. Thyroid status in the newborn infant: effective thyroxine ratio and free thyroxine index. The effective thyroxine ratio (ETR) was determined in 28 term and 17 premature infants at birth and in 17 infants aged 0 to 6 weeks. The mean values found were significantly higher than those in 20 adult euthyro...

In order to evaluate the effect of liothyronine formulated by Iran Hormone Co.(LT3,IH), 20 patients with primary hypothyroidism received 25mg LT3-IH daily. Another 40 hypothyroids were randomly divided into 4 groups and entered a double blind clinical trail. Two groups received 37.5 and 50mg LTrIH and other two groups took 37.5 and 50mg Cytomel (LTr SKF). Serum T4, T3 and TSH concentratio...

BACKGROUND A number of abnormalities has been identified among drug addicted users especially heroin addicts. However, there are a few studies to assess the opium effects on thyroid hormones. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of opium on the thyroid function tests. METHOD In this case-control, 50 male addicts, aged 20-50 years, with history of addiction to opium lastin...

The effects of the Ca2+ channel blockers verapamil, nifedipine, and diltiazem on triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) uptake were tested in cultured cardiomyocytes from 2-day-old rats. Experiments were performed at 37 degrees C in medium with 0.5% BSA for [125I]T3 (100 pM) or 0.1% BSA for [125I]T4 (350 pM). The 15-min uptake of [125I]T3 was 0.124 +/- 0.013 fmol/pM free T3 (n = 6); [125I]T4 ...
