Persistent Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Cardiovascular Risk in the Elderly: The Cardi... - 0 views

  •  
    study finds no increased risk of CHD, HF, or CV death in subclinical hypothyroidism in older adults.  No insight is gained from this article, due to the use of TSH as the only tool for thyroid assessment.  TSH has been shown to become unreliable as a sole thyroid assessment tool an aging population.

  •  
    high prevalence of thyroid antibodies, TPO, in women with PCOS.  This does not prove cause and effect, merely an association.  Both are inflammation driven.

  •  
    within the normal reference range of TSH, there are wide varying physiologic effects.  Take home: a "normal TSH" doesn't always translate a normal thyroid function.

Effect of Exogenous Thyroid Hormone Intake on the Interpretation of Serum TSH Test Results - 0 views

  •  
    TSH is promoted as the test of choice to diagnosis and monitor thyroid dysfunction. However, Warmingham hypothesis, would suggest otherwise.

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".

    estrogen and SERMS (tamoxifen, raloxifene) shown to stimulate growth of thyroid cells via regulation of vascularization.  Think about the impact of the estrogen on other cells and tissue in the body.

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.

  •  
    Estradiol increased thyroid papillary and follicular cancer cells via both ER alpha and ER beta in this study.  What is also interesting is that estradiol did not increase PR expression.

Thyroid Hormone and Cardiac Disease: From Basic Concepts to Clinical Application - 0 views

  •  
    Low T3 post MI is associated with increased CHF, morbidity and mortality.  Article discusses thyroid hormones and cardiac function/remodeling post infarct.  The article also lays the ground work for a new study of T3 in patients post MI to be followed for 6 months.

Serum TSH, T4, and Thyroid Antibodies in the United States Population (1988 to 1994): N... - 0 views

  •  
    This article finds the mean TSH level in the "healthy" population to be 1.5.  Calls into question any level above that with symptoms of hypothyroid.  Full, adequate thyroid including free T3 and rT3 must be done.
