Reduced activation and increased ina... [J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2003] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  • 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.
  •  
    inflammation and critical illness associated with low TSH, low T3, elevated rT3 and low T3:rT3 ratio.

Reduced Activation and Increased Inactivation of Thyroid Hormone in Tissues of Critical... - 0 views

  •  
    critical illness is associated with low TSH, reduced T3, and increased rT3 production.  Inflammation is critically involved in this process.  This study from JCEM shows how unreliable TSH and T4 are.

Low-T3 Syndrome - 0 views

  •  
    low T3, not T4 or TSH, found to be associated with a strong predictor of death in cardiac patients.  This also has implications in predicting outcome in cardiac patients.

Thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabol... [Klin Wochenschr. 1981] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    This study doesn't find evidence of low t3-syndrome, but suggests the impairment of TSH secretion (low TSH)is the first potential sign of thyroid dysfunction.

  •  
    TBI results in pituitary dysfunction.  The result in low cortisol, low thyroid, and low HGH.  Other hormones appeared to be unaffected

  •  
    low T3 is found to be a poor prognostic finding in cardiac patients.

    Patients with CHF often have low T3 levels.  In this study, IV T3 was shown to be safe and well tolerated

Regulation of 11beta-HSD genes in human adipose tis... [Obes Res. 2004] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    adipocytes increase genetic expression of 11beta-HSD. This increases local cortisol production from cortisone.  This plays a pivotal role in obesity.  Question:  would this play a role in peripheral hypothyroid?  I think so.

Effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors o... [Thyroid. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting study.  They found a "significant reduction of T(3) after 15 and 30 days" with SSRI use, yet their conclusion is SSRI is safe in hypothyroid.   The take is that part of the weight gain associated with SSRI use is through dysfunction of thyroid hormone production as the effects were also found with T4.

Combination L-T3 and L-T4... [Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes. 2013] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    Here is an interesting finding:  low free T3 is significantly associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in 7 prospective study on hospitalized patients.

    low vitamin D levels associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Proinflammatory cytokines inhibit the expre... [Eur J Endocrinol. 2002] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta reduced deiodinase transcription, thus reducing T4 to T3 conversion.  The inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 did also but to a lesser degree.

Potential uses of T3 in the treatment of human dis... [Clin Cornerstone. 2005] - PubMed... - 0 views

  • riiodothyronine (T3), formed by the monodeiodination of T4, is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone
  •  
    T3 is the active, biologically form of the thyroid hormone

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.
