The aim of this study was to determine whether the current regimen of dexamethasone administration to induce fetal lung maturation affected the circulating concentrations of placental hormone. A standard regimen of dexamethasone that comprised two doses of 12-mg intramuscular injections, 12 h apart was administered to 12 pregnant women to promote fetal lung maturation in anticipation of prematu...
We examined the contribution of the primary hormones of calcium homeostasis to the control of calcium intake in the rat. Male Sprague-Dawley rats with 50 mM CaCl2 solution as their only source of calcium received subcutaneous hormone infusions for 13 days. Parathyroid hormone (PTH; 40, 80, or 160 ng/h) produced sustained dose-related decreases in CaCl2intake. High doses of calcitonin (CT; 32 or...
Critical illness can be associated with transient alterations in circulating thyroid hormone concentrations, indicating the presence of non-thyroidal illness (NTI). NTI is well described in humans, but there are few reports on its occurrence and prognostic significance in dogs. This retrospective study assessed the occurrence of NTI in a population of dogs with systemic inflammatory response sy...
Understanding the interactions between metabolic signals that regulate insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is crucial to a recognition of mechanisms that control mammalian growth. Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential for normal growth and development, and it has been suggested previously that they can modify circulating IGF-I concentrations. However, the fact that THs influence food intake, wh...
The observations that the peptide hormone gastrin interacts with transferrin in vitro and that circulating gastrin concentrations are increased in the iron-loading disorder hemochromatosis suggest a possible link between gastrin and iron homeostasis. This study tested the hypothesis that gastrin and iron status are interrelated by measurement of iron homeostasis in mice and humans with abnormal...
Sepsis is a severe inflammatory disease resulting in excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL-6), causing oxidative stress, tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Health benefits have been observed upon selenium (Se) supplementation in severe sepsis. Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins implicated in anti-oxidative defence, thyroid hormone metabolism ...
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been reported to stimulate adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH), growth hormone and prolactin secretion from pituitary tissue in vitro, and in large doses evokes ACTH secretion in adult sheep in vivo. In order to assess a possible role for EGF in the pituitary hyperfunction characteristic of the in utero fetus, we measured changes in plasma immunoreactive ACTH co...
The role of gonadotropins, androgens, and insulin in the regulation of circulating leptin levels is obscure. In order to clarify the relationships of these parameters we studied serum leptin levels in 19 healthy control subjects and in 35 hyperandrogenic and hyperinsulinemic patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Serum leptin concentrations did not differ significantly between PCOS pat...
In a previous study of a representative population of 460 men of age 70, we found that the free thyroxin (free T4) concentration was negatively correlated to body mass. In the present study we analyzed other indicators of thyroid function in relation to body mass and body mass index in 181 individuals without any disease or medication influencing thyroidal homeostasis or body mass. There was a ...
