An automated technic is described for the direct assessmentof l131-triiodothyronine binding by serum. The adsorbantsusedin the manual technics are replaced by dialysis. The radioactivity in the dialysate is measured in a continuous-flow scintillation system. Results obtained from 71 patients of varying thyroid status compare favorably with those of a standard manual I’31-triiodothyronine resin ...

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...

background: the present study investigated the functional maturity of oligodendrocyte derived from rat bone marrow stromal cells (bmsc). methods: the bmsc were isolated from female sprague-dawley rats and evaluated for different markers, such as fibronectin, cd106, cd90, oct-4 and cd45. transdifferentiation of olc from bmsc was obtained by exposing the bmsc to dmso and 1 µm all-trans-retinoic a...

this study investigated the effects of five levels of galanin on plasma concentrations of growth hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and milk protein in dairy goat breed was sannan. 15 breeds of dairy goats sannan all about the same age and weight were selected for this study and were randomly divided into five treatments (three replicates per treatment). levels of the hormone injection of ga...

This work was presented in part at the 53rd Annual Meeting of The American Thyroid Association, Cleveland, Ohio, 7-10 September 1977. Dr. Larsen is an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Received for publication 29 August 1977 and in revised form 11 January 1978. well with both the change in TSH and the nuclear occupancy, suggesting a linear relationship between the integrated ...

A B S T R A C T We studied the effect of triiodothyronine (T3) on mammalian growth-plate cartilage in vitro. Growth-plate cartilages from fetal pigs scapulae were incubated for 3 or 7 d in serum-free medium alone or medium containing T3. Alkaline phosphatase activity, a marker of hypertrophied chondrocytes, was increased in T3 (10 nM)-treated growth-plate cartilage 152±36% above that of cartila...
