Síndrome nefrótico asociado a hipotiroidismo severo
Nephrotic syndrome associated to severe hypothyroidism

Las hormonas tiroideas tienen acciones renales directas en conjunto con efectos dinámicos y cardiovasculares que influyen en la función renal. Cuadros de hipotiroidismo con enfermedad renal son una combinación peculiar y poco descrita, es por ello que el propósito de este trabajo es exponer el caso d...

Evaluation of redox profiles in exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism at two different levels of TSH suppression

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the relationship between exogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism and oxidative stress through the analysis of the redox profile of patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism exogenous (SCH) grade I (TSH = 0.1 to 0.4 IU/mL) and grade II (TSH < 0.1 IU/mL). Subjects and method...

The effect of levothyroxine treatment on left ventricular function in subclinical hypothyroidism

ABSTRACT Objective: Treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH), especially the mild form of ScH, is controversial because thyroid hormones influence cardiac function. We investigate left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in ScH and evaluate the effect of 5-month levothyroxine treatment. Su...

Treatment of hypothyroidism with levothyroxine plus liothyronine: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study

ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effects of a unique fixed combination levothyroxine/liothyronine (LT4/LT3) therapy in patients with primary hypothyroidism. Subjects and methods This is a randomized, double-blind, crossover study. Adults with primary hypothyroidism (n = 32, age 42.6 ± 13.3, 30 fema...

Effects of excess maternal thyroxin on the bones of rat offspring from birth to the post-weaning period

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate, in rat offspring, bone changes induced by excess maternal thyroxin during pregnancy and lactation, and to assess the reversibility of these changes after weaning. Material and methods Twenty Wistar rats were distributed in two groups, hyperthyroid and control, that wer...

Effect of Thyroxine and Propylthiouracil in Ehrlich Ascitic Tumor Cells

Int. j. morphol; 24 (4), 2006
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thyroxine and PTU in ascitic Ehrlich tumor cells. Tumor was implanted in 30 female mice distributed in three groups: treated with PTU, treated with thyroxine and control. Each group received an intraperitoneal injection of neoplastic cells, ...

Effect of combined treatment with calcitonin on bone densitometry of patients with treated hypothyroidism

INTRODUCTION: Thyroid hormones (TH) may affect bone metabolism and turnover, inducing a loss of bone mass among hyperthyroid and in hypothyroid patients under hormone replacement treatment. Thyroid dysfunction leads to changes in the dynamics of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin (CT) secretion. OB...
