AIM: To investigate the effect of cold exposure on the thermoregulatory function in hypothyroid rats. METHODS: Hypothyroid model was established by administration of antithyroid drug propylthiouracil(PTU) in rats. Colonic temperature was measured using digital thermometer. Plasma T3 and T4 concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. The effect of cold exposure on body temperature was observed after 2 weeks of PTU treatment. RESULTS: Plasma T3 and T4 concentrations were reduced markedly 2 weeks after PTU treatment, and colonic temperature was also decreased markedly; Hyperthermic response was not different between PTU group and control group during cold exposure. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that PTU-induced hypothyroid rat possesses a robust thermogenic response to short bouts of cold exposure. 相似文献

Background
Iatrogenic hypothyroidism (IH) after treatment of hyperthyroidism can impair renal function. No study compared the efficacy of measurement of serum free thyroxine by equilibrium dialysis (fT4ed) or thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) concentrations for monitoring cats receiving methimazole.Objectives
To (1) compare the ability of total T4 and fT4ed concentrations in conjunction with TSH to define thyroid function in hyperthyroid cats receiving methimazole, (2) determine the prevalence of IH in cats receiving methimazole, and (3) examine the relationship between thyroid axis hormones and serum creatinine concentration.Animals
One hundred and twenty‐five serum samples from hyperthyroid cats receiving methimazole and total T4 concentrations ≤3.9 μg/dL.Methods
Total T4, fT4ed, and TSH concentrations were measured to evaluate thyroid status and serum creatinine concentration was measured to assess renal function. A low total T4 or fT4ed concentration in combination with an increased TSH concentration defined IH.Results
Forty‐one cats (33%) had increased TSH concentrations. Of cats with total T4 and fT4ed concentrations below the reference range, 68% and 73%, respectively, had TSH concentrations above the reference range. Only 18% of cats with a normal TSH concentration had an increased serum creatinine concentrations as compared to 39% of those with increased TSH concentrations (P < .001).Conclusions
Free T4ed does not identify more cats with potential IH as compared to total T4. The IH prevalence was approximately 20%. Measurement of TSH may be more helpful in indicating that azotemia, if present, is at least in part related to IH. Investigation is needed to define TSH assay utility in identifying possible subclinical IH. 相似文献16.
AIM: To investigate the alteration of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ transport proteins including sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase 2a(SERCA2a) and phospholamban(PLB) mRNA expression as well as the alteration of myocardial SR Ca2+-ATPase activity in neonatal hypothyroid rats, and to explore the effect of levothyroxine(L-T4) substitution therapy on the above indexes.METHODS: Hypothyroidism was induced by the administration of propylthiouracil (PTU, 50 mg/d) to the pregnant SD rats by gavage beginning on embryonic day 15 and continuing throughout the lactational period. A subgroup of neonatal hypothyroid rats were intraperitoneally injected with L-T4 levothroxine (20 μg/kg BW daily), starting from the day of birth. Other pregnant SD rats received normal saline instead of PTU. The samples of the rats in all 3 groups were harvested at postnatal day 3, 5 and 7 respectively (n=10). After measurement of serum thyroid hormone levels, the hearts were removed and the ventricles were weighed (HW). The concentration of calcium in ventricular myocardium(ventricular myoCa2+) was detected by fluorospectrophotometry and the activity of SR Ca2+-ATPase was determined by the inorganic phosphorus method. The mRNA expression of SERCA2a and PLB was also detected by real-time PCR. RESULTS: Neonatal hypothyroid rats had a significant lower level of SERCA2a mRNA (P<0.05) and a higher level of PLB mRNA (P<0.01), and subsequent lower SERCA2a/PLB at each postnatal day (P<0.01) was observed. Compared with hypothyroid group, the mRNA expression of SERCA2a significantly increased (P<0.05) and that of PLB significantly decreased (P<0.05) in L-T4 treatment group. The concentration of ventricular MyoCa2+ in hypothyroid group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01), and that in L-T4 treatment group showed a significant decrease as compared with hypothyroid group (P<0.05). The activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase in hypothyroid group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.01), and that in L-T4 treatment group showed a significant increase as compared to hypothyroid group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The deficiency of thyroid hormone, resulting in decreased expression of SERCA2a mRNA as well as increased PLB mRNA, contributes to the reduction of SR Ca2+-ATPase activity in neonatal rats. This may be one of the most important mechanisms of myocardial systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. 相似文献

Background
Oral levothyroxine (l‐T4) supplementation is commonly used to treat hypothyroid dogs.Objectives
Investigate the plasma profile and pharmacokinetics of total thyroxine (tT4) after PO administration of a l‐T4 solution and its clinical efficacy in hypothyroid dogs.Animals
Ten dogs with naturally occurring hypothyroidism.Methods
After hypothyroidism diagnosis and supplementation with l‐T4 solution PO q24h at 20 μg/kg BW for minimum 4 weeks, the plasma profile and pharmacokinetics of tT4 were determined over 34 hours and the clinical condition of the dogs was evaluated.Results
Before dosing for pharmacokinetic evaluation, mean tT4 concentration was 23 ± 9 nmol/L. l‐T4 was absorbed rapidly (t max, 5 hours), reaching a mean maximal tT4 concentration of 56 ± 11 nmol/L. The apparent terminal half‐life was 11.8 hours. Clinical signs of hypothyroidism improved or resolved in all dogs after 4 weeks of treatment. The dosage of 20 μg/kg PO q24h was judged appropriate in 5 dogs, and 4 dogs required slight increases (9–16%). Twice daily treatment, with a 30% increase in dosage, was necessary for 1 dog.Conclusions and Clinical Importance
The pharmacokinetics of l‐T4 in hypothyroid dogs was similar to that reported in healthy euthyroid dogs. Clinical and hormonal responses to l‐T4 solution were rapid in all dogs. The starting dosage of 20 μg/kg PO q24h was suitable for maintenance supplementation in 50% of the dogs, minor dosage modification was required in 4 other dogs, and treatment q12h was required in 1 dog. 相似文献18.

Background: This study was performed to determine whether anhidrotic horses have altered thyroid function compared with horses that sweat normally.
Hypothesis: Anhidrotic horses have normal thyroid function.
Animals: Ten client-owned horses with clinical signs of anhidrosis were paired with 10 horses living in the same environment that had normal sweat production.
Methods: Horses were diagnosed as having normal sweat production or being anhidrotic based on responses to intradermal injections of terbutaline and physiologic responses to lunging exercise. Control horses were selected from the same environment and matched as closely as possible to anhidrotic horses in terms of age, sex, breed, and athletic condition. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation tests were performed in both horses at the same time, once in the summer or fall, and once again in winter.
Results: Anhidrotic horses produced less sweat in response to intradermal injections of terbutaline and exercise than did control horses. They also had greater increases in body temperature and respiratory rate in response to exercise. Resting concentrations of thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were not different between anhidrotic and control horses. Thyroid hormone responses to TRH also were not different between the 2 groups of horses. However, anhidrotic horses had a significantly different TSH response to TRH compared with control horses, particularly in the winter.
Conclusions and Clinical Importance: The biologic relevance of the altered TSH response to TRH in anhidrotic horses is uncertain, considering that TSH concentrations remained within previously reported normal ranges and thyroid hormone responses were not different between anhidrotic and control horses. 相似文献

Thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAA) were detected in sera of hypothyroid (n=19), obese (n=28) and clinically healthy dogs (n=52) using a commercially available immunoassay kit. TgAA-positive results occurred in 10 of 19 hypothyroid, 1 of 28 obese and 1 of 52 clinically healthy dogs. The clinically healthy TgAA-positive dog had additional evidence of hypothyroidism supported by low total T(4), low free T(4) and high canine TSH. Among the breeds, Golden Retriever had the highest frequency of hypothyroid (9/19) and TgAA-positive hypothyroid dogs (6/10). This study was the first survey about the prevalence of canine TgAA in Japan and could be a useful reference for clinicians. 相似文献
