Hyperprolactinemia is commonly known as abnormal levels of prolactin hormone in the blood due to endocrine disorder. The study aimed eliminate hyperprolactinemia affecting thyroid gland by treating it with vitamin D supplements. Eighteen male rats Rattus norvegicus were divided into three groups six each : first group received normal saline for 42 days . second group, given 5 mg/kg metocloprami...

Stunting results in generational loss due to decreased ability work productivity and IQ. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) plays an important role the growth process, chronic hormone deficiency conditions will spur incidence of stunting. The purpose study was determine effect supplementary food formula substitution sea urchin gonads (Diadema Setosum) on hormone, height weight stunted toddlers S...

Graves’ disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder, caused by the presence of autoantibodies directed against the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TRAb), chronically stimulating thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion, and resulting in an excessive amount of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) and gland growth. In iodine sufficient areas, t...

The mechanism by which the thyrotropic or the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) causes such marked growth and accelerated function of the thyroid remains a perplexing problem. Significant experiments in this direction have been reported by Rawson et al. (6, 8) who exposed TSH to slices of various organs in tissue culture. Of the various tissues studied, only thyroid, thymus, and lymph node were...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate associations between maternal drinking water perchlorate exposure during pregnancy and newborn thyroid hormone levels. METHODS Elevation in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which may reflect reduced thyroxin concentration, was assessed in 497,458 newborns in California in 1998. A total of 800 perchlorate water measurements were used to classify California communities a...

Aim: To assess the risk factors for renal dysfunction in a heterogeneous population. determine age and sex wise distribution of eGFR Urinary spot Protein- Creatinine ratio (UPCR) estimate lipid profile thyroid their role as factor dysfunction. Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), is major health problem India. As per Diseases Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012, CKD defined1 abnormali...

Objective: Hypothyroidism has many causes and manifestations in children. One of the is autoimmunity, which known as autoimmune thyroiditis or Hashimoto thyroiditis. Pseudotumor cerebri a rare manifestation Here we report 10-year-old girl with asymptomatic papillary edema who was treated levothyroxine acetazolamide. Case Presentation: A suffered from left eye trauma while playing volleyball wen...

Thyroid hormone is crucial for growth and hence the current study is designed to correlate the cord blood thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels with their anthropometry and maternal factors in 187 newborns. Statistical analysis was done by Mann Whitney-U test and Spearman correlation coefficient. TSH levels were significantly higher in males than in female newborns (P=0.018). Low birth weigh...

Dear Editor, Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a syndrome of reduced responsiveness of target tissues to thyroid hormone. Patients with thyroid hormone resistance have elevated free triiodothyronine (fT3) and/or free thyroxine (fT4) with inappropriately normal or elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). It is a diagnosis to consider in newborns presenting with abnormal thyroid function....

Objectives: Radioiodine ablation for the treatment of thyroid cancer is traditionally performed after preparing patients by inducing hypothyroidism. Exogenous stimulation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) using recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) avoids hypothyroidism and hastens the clearance of radioiodine from the patient. These advantages are achieved without jeopardizing the success rate of r...
