Frontiers | Can Reverse T3 Assay Be Employed to Guide T4 vs. T4/T3 Therapy in Hypothyro... - 0 views

  •  
    This study claims no viable benefit for the follow of rT3 in patients on T4/T3 treatment; yet, rT3 increases cancer cell proliferation by up to 80%?!?! Inflammation increases rT3!?!? Context, context, context.

Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin in the Diagnosis of Peripheral Tissue Resistance to Thyroi... - 0 views

  •  
    T3, and T4 for that matter, increases SHBG.  This would be a novel method to determine thyroid hormone receptor insensitivity or resistance.

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.

Decreased Basal and Stimulated Thyrotropin Secretion in Healthy Elderly Men - 0 views

  •  
    This study shows that older men are associated with low TSH, reduced response to TRH, lowered T3, and normal T4 levels.  The main find in this study was the decrease in pituitary responsiveness to TRH and the reduced TSH as we age.  TSH is unreliable as a test.

thyroid disease and the heart - 0 views

  •  
    nice review of how thyroid disease effects cardiac function. Notice the author of this paper describes "thy- roxine (T4) which is a prohormone and tri-iodothyronine (T3) which acts as the final mediator".

  •  
    Interesting study finds T4 therapy, levothyroxine,  linked to increased lung cancer.  The link could be through oxidative stress.

Levothyroxine and lung cancer in females: the importance of oxidative stress - 0 views

  •  
    Study links synthetic T4, synthroid, to increased risk of Lung cancer. The authors acknowledge that the limitations of this study are large. Yet, the association is evident. The proposed mechanism is likely the overdosing and the resultant ROS as a result.

    combined T4/T3 in desiccated thyroid found to reduce cellular immunity in those with autoimmune thyroid disease.

  •  
    Higher T4 and T3 results in improved cognitive function.  Higher with the normal reference range that is.  Thyroid levels cannot be taken purely in reference to "normal".

    T4 therapy (synthroid) alone does not increase serum free T3 concentrations in many patients

  • deiodinases are envisaged as guardians to the gate of thyroid hormone action mediated by T3 receptors
  •  
    Heavy read; but how/why is T4 to T3 conversion important

Thyroid hormone action in mitochondria -- Wrutniak-Cabello et al. 26 (1): 67 -- Journal... - 0 views

  • Triiodothyronine (T3) is considered a major regulator of mitochondrial activity
  •  
    T3 is major regulator of mitochondrial activity; not T4

  • Patients with ventricular tachycardia demonstrated significantly lower serum values of FT3 and FT3/FT4, and significantly higher values of rT3. Serum thyroid hormone levels can provide a quantitative index for evaluating the severity of chronic heart failure and predicting ventricular tachycardia.
  •  
    Full thyroid evaluation, not TSH or just T4, is predictive in severity of CHF and heart tachycardia

  • High levels of cortisol may be responsible for the altered TT4 peripheral metabolism to TT3 and rT3 in these patients.
  •  
    elevated cortisol blocks T4 to T3 conversion and increases rT3 production

  •  
    low dose pesticide (organophosphates) exposure associated with delayed sexual development in boys and girls.  In addition, there was an inverse correlation with free T4 and a positive correlation with TSH.
