Presence of Metabolic Syndrome in Football Linemen - 0 views

  •  
    Our findings should generate significant doubt about the presumed health of collegiate football linemen.  That is a startling conclusion.  This conclusion comes from the fact that 49% of Lineman evaluated in this study were found to have Metabolic Syndrome.

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.

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.

Acute myocardial infarction and thyroid function: New pathophysiological and therapeuti... - 0 views

  •  
    Thyroid hormone plays significant role in cardiac remodeling after acute myocardial infarction.  Thyroid hormone, particularly T3 as the vast majority of T3 is produced in heart tissue via D1 enzymatic activity, improves cardiac contractility, reduces systemic vascular resistance, reduces cardiac work load, decreases blood pressure, improves cardiac metabolism, and thus improves outcomes post MI.

    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".

Metabolic Effects of Liothyronine Therapy in Hypothyroidism: A Randomized, Double-Blind... - 0 views

  • tissue euthyroidism is the net result of multiple steps including conversion of the prohormone T4 into its active metabolite T3, which is ultimately responsible for signaling at the end-organ target level
  • The circulating and intracellular pools of T3 of treated hypothyroid patients (i.e. devoid of endogenous TH production) depend entirely on the conversion of exogenous l-T4 into T3
  • TH is the major regulator of basal metabolic rate
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • The substitution of l-T3 for l-T4 caused a significant weight loss
  • The substitution of l-T3 for l-T4 caused a significant reduction in lipid parameters
  • TH action is increased in the liver, and the SHBG increase supports this hypothesis
  • The changes in serum lipid metabolism parameters are similar to the effects observed with drugs approved for the treatment of dyslipidemia
  • This differential response appears to be limited to the lipid metabolism and SHBG, whereas no differences in indices of insulin resistance were detected. This is remarkable because hyperthyroid states are associated with an increase in hepatic gluconeogenesis (37), and overt thyrotoxicosis is a known cause of secondary diabetes.
  • Despite the increase in serum T3, the l-T3 treatment did not cause major changes in cardiovascular or musculoskeletal function, as indicated by the echocardiographic and maximal exercise tolerance tests and DXA studies.
  • Similarly, no significant differences were observed in blood pressure, heart rate, or endothelial vascular function
  • In conclusion, the results of this pharmacology, proof-of-concept study indicate that replacement therapy of hypothyroidism with l-T3, compared with l-T4 causes weight loss and favorable changes in the lipid profile without appreciable side effects
  •  
    Crossover study finds T3 versus T4 results in more weight loss, improved lipid management and increased SHBG without any adverse cardiovascular effects.   The T3 was dosed 3 x daily due to its short half life compared to T4.

  • Our study has shown DTE therapy caused modest weight loss, and nearly half (48.6%) of the study patients expressed preference for DTE over l-T4
  • our study showed significantly higher TSH in the DTE-treated group, which suggests that the improvement observed in the DTE-treated group is not mediated through the changes in TSH levels
  •  
    Study finds desiccated thyroid (armour thyroid) was associated with great weight loss, mood improvement than T4 alone.  Desiccated thyroid was preferred by patients in the study.  Conversion rate was 100 mcg T4 to 88 mg desiccated thyroid.
