TSH may not be a good marker for adequate thyroid ... [Wien Klin Wochenschr. 2005] - Pu... - 0 views

  • TSH levels used to monitor substitution, mostly regulated by intracellular T3 in the pituitary, may not be such a good indicator of adequate thyroid hormone action in all tissues
  •  
    TSH may not be a good marker for adequate thyroid hormone replacement therapy.

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

Leptin and the pituitary-thyroid axis: a comparative study in lean, obese, hypothyroid ... - 0 views

  • The data are consistent with the hypothesis that leptin and the pituitary–thyroid axis interact in the euthyroid state, and that hypothyroidism reversibly increases leptin concentrations

  • e workers with higher level of blood lead (> 2.88 micro mol/L) showed lower levels of T(3) [(1.54 +/- 0.39) nmol/L] and FT(3)
  • Higher level of blood lead may cause certain damage to thyroid function by inhibiting deiodination of T(4)

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.

Thyroid Hormone Receptor Agonists Reduce Serum Cholesterol Independent of the LDL Receptor - 0 views

  •  
    New study shows that T3 and thyroid hormone agonists reduce LDL.  This is independent that LDL receptors.  Previously, it was thought that T3 increased LDL receptor expression.  But, this study shows that T3 lowers LDL independent of the LDL receptors.

  •  
    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?
