SYNTHESIS I - Uptake Oxidation Iodination Coupling Storage Pinocytosis Proteolysis Release Deiodination Na + /I - TPO I - → I * Tyrosine( thyroglobulin ) MIT & DIT T3 & T4
STEPS IN SYNTHESIS I - Uptake Thiocyanate , Perchlorate , Iodine Oxidation Propylthiouracil , Carbimazole , I Iodination Coupling Storage Pinocytosis I Proteoolysis Release I, Lithium Deiodination Propranolol , Amiodarone , Propylthiouracil , Glucocorticoid TSH
REGULATION
MECHANISM OF ACTION
SYSTEM THYROID HORMONE EFFECTS 1. Metabolic ↑ calorigenesis and O 2 consumption ↑ heat dissipation ↑ protein catabolism ↑ glucose utilisation and production ↑ cholesterol degradation 2. Cardiovascular ↑ adrenergic activity and sensitivity ↑ heart rate ↑ myocardial contractility ↑ cardiac output ↑ blood volume ↓ peripheral vascular resistance 3. Central Nervous ↑ adrenergic activity and sensitivity 4. Gastrointestinal (GI) ↑ motility FUNCTIONS
TRH Stimulation Test. TSH Stimulation Test. T3 suppression Test. Resin uptake Free T4 index
TESTS to FIND THE CAUSE Anti TPO Anti Tg LATS( TsIg ) Radioactive Iodine Uptake and Thyroid Scan.
Tests based on metabolic effects of thyro i d hormones Tests Hypothyroidism Hyperthyroidism BMR ↓ ↑ 2. S. creatinine ↓ ↑ 3. S. cholesterol (normal: 150-240 mg%) ↑ ↓
