Sex-specific associations of blood mercury and iodine with thyroid hormones

Associations between sex hormones, thyroid hormones and lipoproteins.

1. A study of 150 middle-aged male industrial employees has shown significant positive correlations between plasma levels of high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and both serum testosterone and alcohol intake, and significant negative correlations between HDL cholesterol and both serum thyroxine and obesity. These associations persist when examined by multiple linear regression, indicatin...

Concentration of serum total iodine and thyroid hormones in Holstein cows in central Iran

The aim of this study was to evaluate total iodine, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) status in the blood serum of Holstein cows on six farms in central Iran. Total iodine, T3 and T4 concentrations were measured in 90 blood serum samples (15 per farm). Mean concentrations of total iodine (38.80 ± 1.52 µg/l) and T3 (1.57 ± 0.10 nmol/l) were lower but the mean concentration of T4 (45.60 ± ...

Blood Iodine in Patients with Thyroid Disease.

Sex Hormones and Blood Pressure

Case 1.?A female patient, aged 78, was admitted in a state of restlessness and acute depression, suffering from hyperpiesis. Her blood pressure was 220 /120, with gross arterial degeneration and enlargement of the left ventricle. She was put on Progynon (oestradiol) ointment, 2 inches daily (=0 ? 14 mgm. of oestradiol). In a fortnight her blood pressure was down to 150/70. This reduction was ac...

Effect of dietary iodine on thyroid hormones and energy blood metabolites in lactating goats.

Aim of this work was to evaluate if long-term dietary supplementation of potassium iodide (KI) to dairy goats can influence metabolic and hormonal parameters. Thirty Sarda crossbred dairy goats were divided into three groups, which were orally administered 0 (control group; CON), 0.45 (low iodine group; LI) or 0.90 (high iodine group; HI) mg of KI/day, respectively. The daily dose of KI (76.5% ...
