I . High values for plasma thyrotrophic hormone, which did not correlate with other parameters of thyroid function, were found in patients with abnormally high plasma immunoglobulin concentrations. 2. Results indicate that human IgG interferes with the post-precipitation doubleantibody radioimmunoassay of thyrotrophic hormone. It is possible that this interference occurs with similar radioimmun...

Autoimmune hypothyroidism is a common medical condition. Its revelation by thyrotrophic hyperplasia is an unusual and may be misdiagnosed as a pituitary adenoma. A 35-year-old man is referred to us for endocrinological assessment before surgery of a pituitary macroadenoma with bitemporal hemianopsia. Biological data reveal profound primary hypothyroidism. With thyroid hormone substitution, the ...

Goldfish (Carassius auratus, var. japonicus, subvar. bicaudatus) respond to the administration of thyrotrophic hormone with exophthalmos. Eye protrusion increases with simultaneous injections of corticotrophin. Retrobulbar injections of normal saline, human serum or pituitary hormones produce a transient exophthalmos, which is much more persistent when thyrotrophin is injected. Previous treatme...

The laboratory tests requested were hemogram, electrolytes, albumin, glycemia, thyrotrophic hormone, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D and zinc; all normal. Radiographs showed bone changes of the phalanges, with cone-shaped epiphyses (Figure 3) and advanced...

An increase in the thyroid activity of teleosts correlated with an increase in environmental temperature has been recorded by Blanc & Buser (1949), Fortune (1953, 1955), and Barrington & Matty (1954); this has not been confirmed by Delsol & Flatin (1956) who found no effect, or by Olivereau (1950,1954, 1955 a, b, c) who demonstrated that increased temperature tended rather to decrease thyroid a...
