Iodothyronine Release from the Perfused Canine Thyroid following Cessation of Stimulation: RAPID DECLINE OF TRIIODOTHYRONINES IN COMPARISON WITH THYROXINE

Abstract

The kinetics of thyroid secretion after termination of stimulation by 100 μU/ml bovine thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or 5 mM cyclic AMP (cAMP) were studied using perfused canine thyroid lobes. All experiments were performed as paired comparisons, one thyroid lobe acting as a control continuing to receive infusion of the stimulator. 2.5 h after termination of TSH infusion, the secretion of thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3′-triiodothyronine (T3), and 3,3′,5′-triiodothyronine (rT3) was not significantly different from that of the control lobes. After cessation of cAMP infusion, the secretion of T4 continued unaffected for ∼40 min. Then a gradual decline in T4 release occurred. The secretion of T3 and rT3 decreased somewhat earlier leading to a transient phase with increases in the T4:T3 and T4:rT3 ratios in the thyroid effluent.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
