The effects of hemithyroidectomy and thyrotropin administration on rat thyroid gland function were studied in adult male rats. Immediately after surgery or sham operation rats were treated daily with 0.12 IU of bovine thyrotropin (TSH) for 3 or 5 days. In control rats TSH dose applied resulted in an increase in serum T4 level at day 5 of experiment. Serum thyroxine concentration markedly decreased in sham operated and hemithyroidectomised rats, an effect observed at days 3 and 5 of experiment. TSH administration had no effect on serum T4 concentration in sham operated rats while in hemithyroidectomised animals such a treatment resulted in a marked increase in serum T4 level, a phenomenon observed in both time intervals studied. The reasons for hemithyroidectomy-induced hyperresponsiveness of rat thyroid residual lobe to thyrotropin are unknown. 相似文献

The experiment was carried out on 35 litters of infant rats aged 4-17 days. The animals in each litter were always divided into two groups: control (sham operation) and experimental (hemithyroidectomy). Starting with the day on which the young were operated on, the mothers received daily subcutaneous injections of either saline or of thyroxine in doses of 50, 100 or 200 mug. At the end of the experiment, the young were injected intraperitoneally with 1 muCi 131I. One hour later they were decapitated and the radioactivity in their thyroid was expressed as the percentage of the administered dose per mg thyroid. The following age groups were used, according to the interval between thyroidectomy and decapitation: 4 to 8, 9 to 13, 13 to 15 and 15 to 17 days. 131I uptake by the residue of the thyroid in partially thyroidectomized animals was always compared with the values in the animals from the same litter subjected to sham operation. The results showed that partial thyroidectomy significantly stimulated 131I uptake in all age groups in which the mother was only given saline. In the 4- to 8-day-old group, the administration of 50 or 100 mug thyroxine to the mother inhibited this compensatory increase. In the 9- to 13-day-old group, inhibition occurred only after a dose of 100 mug thyroxine. In animals with an interval from the 13th to the 15th days old the dose of thyroxine administered to the mother had to be raised to 200 mug/day to achieve an inhibitory effect. In the last group (interval 15th to 17th day), not even administration of the maximum thyroxine dose to the mother from the 13th postnatal day succeeded in inhibiting the significant increase in 131I uptake. These results show that thyroxine administered to lactating female rats can be transmitted via the milk to the organism of the young in amounts which can be demonstrated in a physiological tests. 相似文献

Possible endocrine control by hepatocyte growth factor of liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF), which is a most potent growth factor for primary cultured hepatocytes, may act as a trigger for liver regeneration. After 70% of the rat liver was removed, HGF activity in the remnant liver began to increase within 24 h. In parallel with the activity, the HGF mRNA level in the remnant liver increased at 12 h after the operation and reached a maximum at 24 h. Increases in HGF activity and in the mRNA level were much lower and later than those in the liver of rats with hepatitis induced with CCl4. However, the first increase in HGF activity in the plasma of hepatectomized rats was noted 3 h after the resection, that is much earlier than the initial DNA synthesis in the remnant liver. Thus, while HGF production was induced in the remnant liver during regeneration after partial hepatectomy, the initial trigger may not be the liver-derived HGF, rather, it may be HGF derived from extrahepatic organs, via blood circulation. 相似文献

There are two phases in the initial period of formation of adrenocortical response to sharp nociceptive influence. The first phase (within 10-15 sec.) involves emergency mobilization of "basal" reserves of hormone active substances. It is characterized by reduction of corticoliberine activity in hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic structures of the rat brain with a parallel increase of corticotrophin concentration in plasma, devastation of corticosteroid reserves in adrenal glands; a decrease in the level of corticosteroids in blood against the background of accumulating hormone in bodies-targets. In the second phace: the phase of hypercompensation, the progressive increase of credit of the substances under study was quite obvious. The authentic changes in a level of aldosterone in adrenal glands and blood took place only in 2.5 minutes after the stress. The nociceptive influence was also biphasic when acting upon the reorganization of thyroid status number. However, unlike the initial adrenocortical response to stress in the first phase of thyroid reaction, the elevation of plasma thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine level was obvious. At the second stage, selective decrease in concentration of thyroxine to normal amounts occurred. 相似文献

Changes in rodent thyroid hormones and cyclic-AMP following treatment with pineal indolic compounds.
I Nir N Hirschmann M Puder J Petrank 《Archives internationales de physiologie et de biochimie》1978,86(2):353-362
Treatment of rats with pineal indolic compounds 5-methoxytryptophol, 5-hydroxytryptophol and serotonin brought about a significant increase in serum thyroxine levels, while serotonin and melatonin caused an increase in thyroid cAMP content with corresponding decrease in the gland's hormones. The total quantity of cAMP in the thyroid was also increased by melatonin in the organ culture system. All these findings would indicate that some of the pineal indoleamines elicit a direct action on the thyroid by stimulating the adenyl cyclase activity and intrathyroidal cAMP, bringing about increased release of thyroxine into the blood stream, and that this is usually not accompanied by adequate synthesis in the gland. Our observation that continuous darkness, which stimulates pineal activity, also brought about an increase in cAMP, concours with our finding of a stimulatory effect of the indolic compounds on thyroid hormone release. 相似文献

The use of hormone replacement to support limb regeneration in hypophysectomized newts has been the subject of many investigations. Growth hormone, as well as prolactin (PL) in combination with exogenously supplied thyroxine, have all been shown to he effective. However, the bovine growth hormone used to support limb regeneration was contaminated by prolactin and thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH). The present investigation evaluates the significance of (1) prolactin contamination and (2) endogenous thyroxine synthesis resulting from TSH contamination on limb regeneration in hypophysectomized newts. The effect of supplying exogenous thyroxine was also evaluated. Our studies showed that when hypophysectomized newts were injected with contamination levels of PL and TSH, regeneration occurred, suggesting that the newt's thyroid synthesized sufficient thyroxine to support a prolactin-thyroxine synergism. The endogenous thyroxine was synthesized by thyroid glands that were indistinguishable from those of saline-injected, hypophysectomized controls. 相似文献

Adrenergic mechanisms may be important in the symptomatic manifestations of hyperthyroidism. The chronic administration of thyroid hormone also results in cardiac hypertrophy and increased numbers of beta-adrenergic receptors in cardiac membranes. The roles of adrenergic mechanisms in the initiation and perpetuation of this hypertrophy has been open to speculation. Rats treated chronically with L-thyroxin were sacrificed after 7 days of treatment and 1–4 days after cessation of treatment. Hearts were removed and weighed and norepinephrine measured. In other groups of identically treated rats, membranes were prepared from the left ventricle for measurements of beta-adrenergic receptor characteristics and adenyl cyclase activity. Regression of cardiac hypertrophy with a decrease in receptor number to control values was seen as early as 2 days after stopping thyroxine. Cardiac norepinephrine concentrations had also returned to control values at this time. Displacement of bound [H3] dihydroalprenolol by isoproterenol was not changed from control. Basal and isoproterenol stimulated adenyl cyclase activity was not changed by thyroxine administration or its cessation.The rapid reversal of the increased beta-adrenergic receptor number and cardiac hypertrophy raises the possibility that thyroid hormone may play a regulatory role in cardiac function. Although the enhancement of myocardial contractility by thyroid hormone may be mediated through cardiac hypertrophy this effect of thyroid hormone is independent of the catecholamine sensitive adenyl cyclase system. 相似文献

By means of quantitative methods (autoradiography, estimation of the mitotic index of cells, morphometry) proliferative activity of typical (follicular) thyrocytes and C cells (calcitonicytes) has been studied in 40 rats both in control and in 1-30 days after hemithyroidectomy. For revealing C cells silver nitrate impregnation after Sevier-Munger and metachromatic reaction with toluidine blue in Sawicki's modification have been used. At repeated injections of 3H-thymidine (12 injections of 0.8 mcCi/g with the interval of 8 h) in the intact rat thyroid glands and equal amount (2-3%) of endocrine cells of the both types are labelled, in 2.5-6 days after a partial resection, amount of the labelled follicular cells increases by 10 times, while that of calcitonicyte--only by 2 times. The differences revealed can be connected with more pronounced histogenic potencies of the typical thyrocytes, realized most fully under conditions of their specific hormonal stimulation in the course of the gland restoration. 相似文献

We have previously shown that the growth response of the rat thyroid to a sustained elevation of the serum level of TSH, induced by goitrogen administration, is self-limiting. This study investigated the possibility that this limitation of growth is due to the inhibitory action of a chalone secreted by the thyroid follicular cells, the serum concentration of which increases as the gland grows. Twenty-seven adult rats were treated with the goitrogen aminotriazole for 5 months to reach a 'plateau of growth'. One group of 9 rats was then subjected to hemithyroidectomy, another to a sham operation, while a third acted as unoperated controls. Four weeks later there was no significant difference between the groups in thyroid weight, follicular cell number or serum TSH. The absence of regeneration following hemithyroidectomy indicates that a systemically-circulating chalone does not play a role in the regulation of growth in the goitrous thyroid. Other mechanisms including the possible role of a 'local' chalone are briefly discussed. 相似文献

Partial hepatectomy alters serum hormone levels in rats. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3'-L-triiodothyronine (T3), corticosterone, testosterone and insulin in serum were measured at 1, 12, 48 and 120 h after partial hepatectomy (PH) or sham operation in rats. After PH the level of ACTH and corticosterone was significantly elevated while that of TSH, T4 and testosterone was decreased and returned to the values found in sham operated animals within 5 days. The level of T3 was unchanged. These results show an increase in the function of pituitary-adrenal axis and a decrease in that of pituitary-thyroid axis shortly following PH with the tendency to return to normal function within five days. 相似文献

To clarify the maturation process of the pituitary-thyroid axis during the perinatal period, thyrotropin (TSH) response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and serum thyroid hormone levels were examined in 26 healthy infants of 30 to 40 weeks gestation. A TRH stimulation test was performed on 10 to 20 postnatal days. Basal concentrations of serum thyroxine (T4), free thyroxine (free T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were positively correlated to gestational age and birth weight (p less than 0.001-0.01). Seven infants of 30 to 35 gestational weeks demonstrated an exaggerated TSH response to TRH (49.7 +/- 6.7 microU/ml versus 22.1 +/- 4.8 microU/ml, p less than 0.001), which was gradually reduced with gestational age and normalized after 37 weeks gestation. A similar decrease in TSH responsiveness to TRH was also observed longitudinally in all of 5 high responders repeatedly examined. There was a negative correlation between basal or peak TSH concentrations and postconceptional age in high responders (r = -0.59 p less than 0.05, r = -0.66 p less than 0.01), whereas in the normal responders TSH response, remained at a constant level during 31 to 43 postconceptional weeks. On the other hand, there was no correlation between basal or peak TSH levels and serum thyroid hormones. These results indicate that (1) maturation of the pituitary-thyroid axis is intrinsically controlled by gestational age rather than by serum thyroid hormone levels, (2) hypersecretion of TSH in preterm infants induces a progressive increase in serum thyroid hormones, and (3) although there is individual variation in the maturation process, the feedback regulation of the pituitary-thyroid axis matures by approximately the 37th gestational week. 相似文献

The effects of selenium depletion and repletion on the metabolism of thyroid hormones in the rat 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Rats were fed selenium-deficient (less than 0.005 mg selenium/kg) or selenium-supplemented diets (0.1 mg selenium/kg, as Na2SeO2) for up to five wks from weaning to assess the effects of developing selenium deficiency on the metabolism of thyroid hormones. Within two wks 3:5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) production from thyroxine (T4) in liver homogenates from selenium-deficient rats was significantly lower compared with the activity in liver homogenates from selenium-supplemented rats. This decreased activity was probably responsible, in part, for the higher T4 and lower T3 concentrations in plasma from the selenium-deficient rats after 3, 4, and 5 weeks of experiment. Repletion of selenium-deficient rats with single intra-peritoneal injections of 200 micrograms selenium/kg body wt. (as Na2SeO3) 5 days before sampling reversed the effects of the deficiency on thyroid hormone metabolism and significantly increased liver and plasma glutathione peroxidase activities. However a dose of 10 micrograms selenium/kg body wt given to rats of similar low selenium status had no effect on thyroid hormone metabolism or glutathione peroxidase activity but did reverse the increase in hepatic glutathione S-transferase activity characteristic of severe selenium deficiency. Imbalances in thyroid hormone metabolism are an early consequence of selenium deficiency and are probably not related to changes in hepatic xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes associated with severe deficiency. 相似文献

High-affinity agonists for the retinoic acid X receptors (RXR) have pleotropic effects when administered to humans. These include induction of hypertriglyceridemia and hypothyroidism. We determined the effect of a novel high-affinity RXR agonist with potent antihyperglycemic effects on thyroid function of female Zucker diabetic rats and nondiabetic littermates and in db/db mice. In both nondiabetic and ZFF rats, AGN194204 causes a 70-80% decrease in thyrotropin (TSH), 3,3',5-triiodothyronine, and thyroxine (T(4)) concentrations. In the db/db mouse, AGN194204 causes a time-dependent decrease in thyroid hormone levels with the fall in TSH that was significant after 1 day of treatment preceding the fall in T(4) levels that was significant at 3 days of treatment. Treatment with AGN194204 caused an initial increase in hepatic 5'-deiodinase mRNA levels which then fell to undetectable levels by 3 days of treatment and continued to be low at 7 days of treatment. After treatment for 5 days with AGN194204, both wild-type and thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta(-/-))-deficient mice demonstrated a nearly 50% decrease in serum TSH and T(4) concentrations. The results suggest that a high-affinity RXR agonist with antihyperglycemic activity can cause central hypothyroidism independently of TR beta, the main mediator of hormone-induced TSH suppression. 相似文献

During second and third weeks after birth in rats, serum thyroid hormone level is elevated. In this study, we investigated the jejunal expression of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) alpha in developing rats. The TRalpha-1 mRNA level and TRalpha-1/TRalpha-2 mRNA ratio increased two-fold from 5 to 13 days after birth. This high level of TRalpha-1 mRNA was maintained until 20 days and then decreased to the basal level by the end of weaning period at 27 days; however, the level of TRalpha-2 mRNA remained unchanged throughout the developmental period. The increase in the TRalpha-1/TRalpha-2 mRNA ratio from 5 to 13 days was accompanied by an initial rise in the levels of mRNA for hexose transporters in the jejunum. Administration of T(3) during the suckling period (8-13 days) caused a 50% increase in the TRalpha-1/TRalpha-2 mRNA ratio, while administration of T(3) on days 12-17 and days 16-21, but not on days 22-27, caused a two to four-fold increase in the levels of mRNA for hexose transporters. These results suggest that a transient variation in the TRalpha-1/TRalpha-2 expression ratio is closely related to the critical period of thyroid hormone responsiveness for hexose transporters expression in the developing rat jejunum. 相似文献

Metabolic and endocrine effects of water and/or food deprivation in rats. We aim at studying the effect of water deprivation, food deprivation and their combination for three days on adrenal cortex, pituitary-thyroid axis and vasopressinergic system activity in rats. Corticosterone level was determined by fluorimetric method. The levels of free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were determined by immunoenzymatic assay and vasopressin (AVP) level was determined by radio-immunoassay. In all three groups, basal levels of plasma corticosterone were increased. A thyroid dysfunction was shown after water deprivation, food deprivation and their combination reflected by a significant decrease in FT4 levels. Paradoxically, a significant decrease in TSH level was observed in food-deprived rats and in rats subjected to simultaneous food and water deprivation, while a slight and not significant decrease in TSH level was shown in water-deprived rats. A significant increase in plasma AVP level was observed after water deprivation and simultaneous water and food deprivation, while no change was found after food deprivation. The data indicated that water deprivation, food deprivation and their combination stimulated the adrenal cortex, thereby suggesting a stress state. On the other hand, it seems that nutritional stress modifies the pituitary-thyroid axis through mechanisms different from those of osmotic stress. Moreover, it seems that food deprivation partially prevented the stimulatory effect of water deprivation on vasopressinergic system. 相似文献

To understand the regulation by thyroid hormone, 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3), of the synthesis of a cytosolic thyroid hormone binding protein (p58-M2) during liver regeneration, the synthesis of p58-M2 was evaluated. The synthesis of p58-M2 was measured by metabolic labeling of primary cultures derived from the regenerating liver of euthyroid, hypo- or hyperthyroid rats. During regeneration, the increase in the liver/body weight ratio is approximately 25% higher in hyper- than in hypothyroid rats. However, T3 has no effect on the rate of overall liver regeneration observed in four days. In mature liver, T3 increased the synthesis of p58-M2 by approximately 2.5-fold. During regeneration, however, the change in the synthesis of p58-M2 varied with the thyroid status. In euthyroid rats, the synthesis of p58-M2 continued to increase up to 2-fold during liver regeneration. In hyperthyroid rats, after an initial increase by 1.5-fold on day 1, the synthesis of p58-M2 subsequently declined during regeneration. In hypothyroid rats, the synthesis of p58-M2 remained virtually unchanged during regeneration. These results indicate that T3 regulates the synthesis of p58-M2 in mature and regenerating liver. 相似文献

The levels of thyroid, pituitary and steroid hormones-thyroxine, triiodothyronine and 11-hydroxycorticosteroids in the blood serum, somatotropin in the pituitary, and processes of protein assimilation were studied in rats in the early postnatal period. The highest endogenous production of thyroxine, triiodothyronine and somatotropin was detected in 15-day-old rats. The highest level of protein utilization was detected in 7 to 15-day-old rats, followed by the lowering of the utilization on changing over to definitive nutrition. Endogenous production of the anabolic hormones thyroxine, triiodothyronine and somatotropin was found to correlate with a high level of protein utilization in rats within the first days of life after birth. 相似文献

Constant levels of thyroid hormones in the blood are principal requirements for normal vertebrate development. Their release depends on the regulated proteolysis of thyroglobulin which is extracellularly stored in the follicle lumen under resting conditions. Thyroglobulin is proteolytically degraded to a major part in lysosomes, but in part also extracellularly leading to the release of thyroxine. Extracellularly occurring lysosomal enzymes are most probably involved in the proteolytic release of thyroxine. In this study we have analyzed the secretion of cathepsin B by thyroid follicle cells (primary cells as well as FRTL-5 cells) and its regulation by thyroid stimulating hormone, which stimulated the secretory release of the proenzyme as well as of mature cathepsin B. Within one to two hours of stimulation with thyroid stimulating hormone, the cathepsin B activity associated with the plasma membrane increased significantly. This increase correlated closely with the localization of lysosomes in close proximity to the plasma membrane of cultured thyrocytes as well as with the thyroxine liberating activity of thyrocyte secretion media. These observations indicate that thyroid stimulating hormone induces the secretion of cathepsin B, which contributes to the extracellular release of thyroxine by thyrocytes. 相似文献

Hypothyroidism is a chronic condition characterized by abnormally low thyroid hormone production. The decreased serum level (>5.1 mIU/l) of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in blood indicates hypothyroidism. The study was an attempt to access the effect of betulinic acid on chemically induced hypothyroidism in female albino rats. Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid, which has antiretroviral, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as anticancer potential, by inhibiting topoisomerase. Hypothyroidism was induced in female albino rats using propylthiouracil (PTU) at a dose of 60 μg/kg body weight orally for 1 month. Induction of hypothyroidism was confirmed by increased TSH level. At the end of second month, blood was collected, centrifuged and serum was analyzed for TSH, T3, and T4 level and protocol was terminated by killing of animals. The animals exposed to PTU were treated with pure standard drug thyroxine at a dose of 10 μg/kg of body weight by oral route and the test drug betulinic acid 20 mg/kg by oral route through force feeding in their respective groups. Treatment was carried out for a period of 2 months. Group with PTU-induced hypothyroidism showed an elevation in serum TSH and reduction level, which was restored by the betulinic acid in treated female albino rats. Betulinic acid also reduced the damage caused in the thyroid tissues by PTU, thus minimizing the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Histopathological examinations of the thyroid tissue showed changes in the thyrocytes of PTU-treated group while thyroxine group showed normal thyroid follicles cell architecture and the group treated with betulinic acid also showed marked improvement in the follicles integrity which shows that betulinic acid has some protective activity. This study shows that the betulinic acid has thyroid-enhancing potential by lowering down the TSH levels and reducing the damage caused in the thyroid tissues, thus minimizing the symptoms of hypothyroidism when used anaphylactically in rats. 相似文献
