Thyrotropin Suppression by Metformin - 0 views

  •  
    Metformin shown to suppress TSH secretion without change in free t4 or free t3 levels.  This again, shows the lack of reliability of the test TSH.  With the suppression of TSH indicated in this study, the free t4 and t3 should have been elevated, but were obviously not.

Thyrotropin suppression by metformin in a cohort of patients with differentiated thyroi... - 0 views

  •  
    Again, showing that metformin suppresses TSH secretion without change in actual thyroid hormone levels.  We know that inflammation plays a role in HPA suppression, why not with TSH?

  •  
    IL-1, an inflammatory cytokine, down regulates TSH gene activity.  Take home: inflammation via IL-1 supresses TSH production.

  •  
    Septic illnesses found to be associated with suppression of TSH centrally in the HPA axis. The cytokines found to be elevated were IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6.

    TNF-alpha inhibits TSH secretion in response to TRH stimulus.

Approach to a low TSH level: Patience is a virtue - 0 views

  •  
    IN the key points: "a low TSH level is not always the result of suppression by elevations in circulating thyroid hormones"

TSH secretion in Cushing's syndrome: r... [Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1990] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    elevated cortisol associated with Cushing's syndrome suppresses TSH.

  •  
    IL-6 is known to stimulate the HPA and increase cortisol production.  Both, IL-6 and cortisol can decrease TSH production.

    TNF-alpha shown to inhibit TSH release from the anterior pituitary.

    IL-6 suppresses TSH.

  •  
    IL-1beta inhibits TRH gene activity.  Previous study has shown that IL-1 suppresses TSH production also.

Peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones: a revie... [Altern Med Rev. 2000] - PubMed r... - 0 views

  • The common feature of these disorders is a low level of circulating T3, with generally normal to slightly elevated blood T4 levels and either normal or slightly suppressed TSH levels. This pattern of altered thyroid hormone levels is generally agreed to be a result of impairment in extra-thyroidal peripheral metabolism
  •  
    thyroid replacement is not just about T4 (synthroid); but about T3, which is 5.4 x more potent
