Decreased serum triiodothyronine in starving rats is due primarily to diminished thyroidal secretion of thyroxine.
Although thyroxine (T4) 5'-deiodinase activity is diminished in liver homogenates of starved rats, no information is available regarding the effect of starvation on net T4 to triiodothyronine (T3) conversion in the intact rat. It appeared important to clarify this relationship since rat liver homogenates are widely used as a model for the study of the factors responsible for reduced circulating...

متن کاملReduction in Extrathyroidal Triiodothyronine Production
In eight patients receiving 0.1 mg T4 daily, administration of PTU resulted in a prompt fall in mean serum T3 concentrations from 78±6 ng/100 ml (SEM) to 61±3 ng/100 ml after 1 day. The mean serum Ts concentrations ranged from 55 to 60 ng/100 ml during the remainder of the PTU treatment period (P < 0.01): The mean control serum TSH concentration was 29.6 AU/ml and it increased to a peak of 40 /...
متن کاملFamilial dysalbuminaemic hyperthyroxinaemia.
Familial dysalbuminaemic hyperthyroxinaemia (FDH) can be confused with thyrotoxicosis if clinical signs and laboratory tests are misinterpreted. We describe three members of the same family with FDH who were erroneously treated for thyrotoxicosis. Screening of other family members resulted in the discovery of a further six patients at risk of being misdiagnosed as thyrotoxic. Clinical and bioch...
