Minireview: developmental regulation of thyrotropin receptor gene expression in the fetal and newborn thyroid.
The TSH receptor plays a pivotal role in thyroid gland growth, function, and differentiation in the mature animal, but only recently has its role in the fetus and neonate been examined. Observational studies comparing the developmental regulation of TSH receptor gene expression, with thyroid morphology, and thyroid-specific gene expression in the rodent model, are reviewed in the context of old...
متن کاملOntogenesis of thyrotropin-releasing hormone in the human fetal pancreas. A combined radioimmunological and immunocytochemical study.
The ontogenesis of pancreatic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) in the human fetal gland was studied by radioimmunoassay or immunocytochemistry. The highest TRH concentrations (1,508.5 +/- 382.3 pg/mg wet wt) were detected between 6 and 8 wk of gestation. From 9 to 12 wk, TRH declined to 365.2 +/- 127.4 pg/mg wet wt and remained low thereafter (96.1 +/- 28.9 pg/mg wet wt). The immunocytochemi...
متن کاملAssessment of thyrotropin-releasing hormone and thyrotropin reserve in man.
Endogenous thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) reserve and pituitary thyrotropin (TSH) reserve were assessed in four normal subjects, three patients post-cryohypophysectomy, one patient with a hypothalamic lesion secondary to trauma, and four patients with Sheehan's syndrome. TSH reserve was determined by the immunoassayable TSH response to 500 mug TRH given i.v. (TRH stimulation test). TRH res...
متن کاملSerum free thyrotropin subunit in congenital isolated thyrotropin deficiency.
In two patients with congenital isolated thyrotropin (TSH) deficiency, serum TSH determined by a sensitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) was consistently undetectable. The basal levels of serum free TSH-alpha subunit (TSH-alpha) determined by a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) were elevated in the hypothyroid state, and decreased to the undectable level during displacement therapy with thyroid ...
متن کاملThyrotropin receptors in thyroid plasma membranes. Characteristics of thyrotropin binding and solubilization of thyrotropin receptor activity by tryptic digestion.
Biologically active bovine 125I-thyrotropin preparations have been prepared, characterized, and used to evaluate the optimal conditions for thyrotropin binding to bovine thyroid plasma membranes in vitro. Binding of 125I-TSH has a pH optimum around 6.0 and is sensitive to the choice and concentration of buffer. Binding is inhibited by salts, especially those containing magnesium and calcium ion...
