During illness changes in thyroid hormone metabolism occur, collectively known as the non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS). NTIS is characterised by low serum thyroid hormone levels without the expected rise in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, indicating a major change in thyroid hormone feedback regulation. Recent studies have made clear that during NTIS differential changes in thyroid horm...

BACKGROUND Reference intervals are affected by different factors such as lifestyle, ethnicity, age/developmental stage, gender, nutrition and other environmental factors (Clin Biochem Rev: 29,2008). Therefore, it is obvious that it should be established for every population in different regions even within a country. Then the aim of this study is to establish population specific reference inter...

The use of measurements of antibody to the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor and HLA-DR3 phenotype for predicting relapse of hyperthyroidism in patients with Graves' disease receiving medical treatment is controversial. Fifty eight new patients with Graves' disease were followed up prospectively for up to 96 months after treatment with antithyroid drugs for 12 months. The presence of antibod...

introduction: thyroid hormone is important for the growth, development and metabolism of the body. a new amount of data show that thyroid hormone influences on pituitary-testis axis. so in this study we investigated the effects of hypothyroidism induction by propiltiouracil (ptu) on serum levels of thyroid hormone, testosterone hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, body an...

BackgroundChildhood obesity has become a global epidemic. In the recent studies has reported risk of thyroid dysfunction due to obesity. Therefore, this study intends to compare the relative frequency of thyroid function disorders in obese and overweight children with non-obese children.Materials and MethodsThis case-control study during 2015 to 2016 in Birjand, Iran was done on 137 children an...

Stimulation of the thyroid with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a potentially useful diagnostic dysfunction, but little known about response to TSH stimulation in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). To better characterize dolphin stimulation, five adult participated study. Dolphins voluntarily beached onto padded mat and were given 1.5 mg intramuscular injection human recombinant TSH...

Study design: It was a comparative cross-sectional study. Methods: wasconducted Biochemistry Department Biomedical Sciences KEMU, Lahore from February 2018 to May 2019. Seventy were inclu...
