Background: Thyroid hormones (TH) thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) are known to be essential for maintaining optimal cognitive ability in adults. TH deprivation (hypothyroidism) or excess (hyperthyroidism) may alter signaling pathways involved adult hippocampal neurogenesis synaptic plasticity, thus increasing the risk of neurodegenerative disorders leading changes performance. Aim: Thi...

To clarify the effects of hyperthyroidism on myocardial oxygen consumption (VO>), a polarographic method was employed to compare the VO2 of isolated papillary muscles from 13 normal euthyroid cats with that of 11 hyperthyroid cats. Basal VO2 was greater in the hyperthyroid group (3.03 ± 0.20 vs. 2.36 ±0.19 SE filter-ing dry wrr • hour, P<0.05). In muscles studied under afterloaded isotonic cond...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of vaccine-induced Graves' disease successfully managed with L-carnitine and propranolol and without antithyroid drugs (ATDs). ATDs sometimes need to be used at low doses or can be contraindicated/refused. One of the ancillary compounds available is L-carnitine. L-carnitine is a naturally occurring quaternary amine, which acts by impairing thyroid hormone access to th...

It is not clear whether the muscle wasting commonly observed in hyperthyroidism is due to alteration in the rate of protein synthesis or degradation. The effect of experimental hyperthyroidism on skeletal-muscle proteolysis in the rat was studied by measuring alanine and tyrosine release from isolated skeletal muscles in vitro and 3-methyl-histidine excretion in vivo. Alanine release from the i...

background and objectives: hyperthyroidism can occur with pregnancy. thyroid storm is a life-threatening exacerbation of hyperthyroidism. the mortality rate for thyroid storm remains surprisingly high at approximately 20%. case report: a 21-year-old primigravida woman presented at 25 weeks, with severe pre-eclampsia and uncontrolled hyperthyroidism was scheduled for emergency cesarean section. ...

caraway is one of the medicinal plants used for digestion problems, however, it has been reported that the long term use of this plant in large doses might cause hyperthyroidism symptoms such as leanness, hair loss, severe sweating and tremulousness. therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of caraway on the level of thyroid hormones and morphologic ...
