Low-T3 Syndrome - 0 views

  • More than 80% of the biologically active hormone triiodothyronine (T3) derives from peripheral conversion of prohormone thyroxine (T4) secreted by the thyroid gland
  • Low thyroid hormone concentrations, in particular low serum T3 concentrations, are a common finding in patients with nonthyroidal illnesses, including cardiac disorders
  • a direct relationship between low circulating levels of T3 and adverse prognosis of cardiac patients
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The present study clearly shows the existence of a strong association between the reduction of biologically active T3 and mortality in a large population of cardiac hospitalized patients
  • highly significant increase in the incidence of cardiac and cumulative deaths in patients with low T3 compared with patients with normal T3 levels
  • the relevance of the low T3 state as a strong, independent predictor of mortality in cardiac patients
  • low T3 concentrations are a strong independent predictive marker of poor prognosis in cardiac patients
  •  
    low T3 associated with poor prognosis in cardiac patients.   Poor prognosis = death.  T3 is important in cardiac remodeling, which is inherently important with cardiac disease.

Thyroid Replacement Therapy and Heart Failure - 0 views

  • A good biomarker of intracardiac TH signaling would be helpful but has not been identified. In the absence of such a marker, a rational, cautious therapeutic approach might be to restore and maintain over time biochemical euthyroidism as documented by normal circulating levels of TSH, FT4, and FT3.
  • a low-T3 state resulting from altered peripheral TH metabolism secondary to caloric restriction is associated with impaired cardiac contractility
  • Low-T3 syndrome is the central finding and defines the illness in a variety of acute and chronic severe nonthyroidal illnesses with cardiac origin, including MI, HF, and surgically treated cardiac disease.1 Low circulating levels of T3 in the absence of primary thyroid hypofunction have been found in 20% to 30% of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

  • FT3 levels were inversely correlated to coronary artery disease
  •  
    Great review of the current understanding of thyroid hormone metabolism in cardiac tissue.  Low T3 and increased rT3 (via increased D3 activity) is CLEARLY associated with poor cardiac performance and post MI and CHF is associated with poor outcomes.  T3 is critical in cardiac remodeling and recovery post MI.  T3 is actually a vasodilatory in the coronary arteries.   Why a endocrinologist would call rT3 useless only points to their ignorance of the literature.

  •  
    IV T3 was given to patients with chronic heart failure.  What the study found may surprise you: improved heart function (ventricular), improved BNP, decrease heart rate, no side effects.  T3 has been shown to be more predictive of cardiac death in those with cardiac disease, than elevated lipids or decreased ejection fraction.

  • The most striking abnormality detected in 75 sick euthyroid patients was a highly significant reduction in the mean total serum-triiodothyronine (T3) levels, with most patients having total T3 levels in the hypothyroid range. The severity of the illness correlated well with the reduction in total serum-T3 levels.
  •  
    low T3 in sick euthyroid clients; severity correlated with decreasing T3

  • Significant suppression of serum concentrations of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) and elevation of serum concentrations of 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (rT3) were seen

Reverse T3 levels in affective disorders. [Psychiatry Res. 1983] - PubMed result - 0 views

  • In the group of patients with acute major depressive disorder, however, a significant increase in reverse T3 levels and a significant decrease in T3 levels, but no significant difference in T4 or TSH levels
  •  
    low free T3:elevated reverse T3 correlates with major depression and TSH and free T4 do not.

  • These observed changes, in correlation with a low T(3)/rT(3) ratio, may represent tissue-specific ways to reduce thyroid hormone bioactivity during cellular hypoxia and contribute to the low T(3) syndrome of severe illness.

Reciprocal Changes in Serum Concentrations of 3,3',5'-Triiodothyronine (Reverse T3) and... - 0 views

  • The mechanism or the biological significance of such a diversion of T4, from the normally occurring conversion to highly potent T3, to the generation of poorly calorigenic rT3 in systemic illness
  • such a change in the metabolism of T4 can be reversible.
  •

  •  
    weight loss in obese children with low TSH and free T3 indicates high risk or regain of weight.  The important value here is the free T3.

T3 increases mitochondrial ATP production in oxidative muscle despite increased express... - 0 views

  •  
    T3 increases mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. This has huge impacts on which hypothyroidism is currently managed (only evaluate TSH and T4) and disease implication. We know that decoupling of oxidative phosporylation and a shift to glycolysis and glutaminolysis (substrate-level phosphorylation) results in genomic mutability and cancer, then a low T3 has implications in cancer prevention

  •  
    This article reviews the genetic polymorphisms that play role in low T4 to T3 conversion and thus combination T4/T3 therapy is indicated.  This study fails to recognize the environmental impacts on the deiodinase enzymes.

Cellular and Molecular Basis of Deiodinase-Regulated Thyroid Hormone Signaling - 0 views

  •  
    Anything and everything one would want to know regarding thyroid hormone signaling.  Doctors, especially endocrinologists, need to read this.  T4 is not or is ever inside target cells.  The enzymes, deiodinase types 1, 2, and 3, are what control the thyroid hormone at the cellular levels.  Deiodinase-2 is what generates T3 in the cytosol of the cell.  In contrast, deiodinase-3 is what generates rT3 which is inactive.  High Fat diet increases deiodinase-3.
