Statistically significant (P < 0.05) thyroid hyperactivity (131I% uptakes) occurs on certain days in Plasmodium berghei infected C3H mice. Male mice thyroid glands are made more hyperactive by the malaria than the female glands. Hyperactive thyroid glands may be at least one cause of hypocholesterolemia in plasmodium-infected rodents. Thyroid hyperplasia was found only in experimental mice ( males; females). A hyperactive thyroid gland appears to be an unreported aspect of experimental acute P. berghei infections in mice. The hyperthyroidism may be due to possible toxic substances acting either directly on the thyroid gland, or indirectly on the hypothalamus affecting TSH production. 相似文献

This study investigated the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular density, and apoptosis in fetal rat adrenal glands with hyperthyroidism in late gestation. Twelve mature female Wistar albino rats with the same biological and physiological features were used for this study. Rats were divided into two groups: control and hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism was induced by daily subcutaneous injections of L-thyroxine (250 µg/kg) before pregnancy for 21 days and during pregnancy. Rats in the control and hyperthyroidism groups were caged according to the number of male rats. Zero day of pregnancy (Day 0) was indicated when the animals were observed to have microscopic sperm in vaginal smears. Pregnant rats were sacrificed on the 20th day of pregnancy; blood from each animal was collected to determine the concentrations of maternal adrenocorticotropic hormone and thyroxine. Rat fetuses were then quickly removed from the uterus, and the adrenal glands of the fetuses were dissected. VEGF expression, vascular density, and apoptosis were analyzed in fetal rat adrenal glands. Maternal serum levels of the ACTH and free thyroxine were significantly higher in the hyperthyroidism group than in the control group. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the number of VEGF positive cells and vessel density significantly increased in the hyperthyroidism rat fetal adrenal group compared with the control group. Hyperthyroidism did not change the fetal and placental weights and the number of fetuses. This study demonstrates that hyperthyroidism may have an effect on the development of rat adrenal glands mediated by VEGF expression, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. 相似文献
