The level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3'-L-triiodothyronine (T3), corticosterone, testosterone and insulin in serum were measured at 1, 12, 48 and 120 h after partial hepatectomy (PH) or sham operation in rats. After PH the level of ACTH and corticosterone was significantly elevated while that of TSH, T4 and testosterone was decreased and returned to the values found in sham operated animals within 5 days. The level of T3 was unchanged. These results show an increase in the function of pituitary-adrenal axis and a decrease in that of pituitary-thyroid axis shortly following PH with the tendency to return to normal function within five days.

D003345 Corticosterone An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)
D006498 Hepatectomy Excision of all or part of the liver. (Dorland, 28th ed) Hepatectomies
D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013739 Testosterone A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL. 17-beta-Hydroxy-4-Androsten-3-one,17-beta-Hydroxy-8 alpha-4-Androsten-3-one,8-Isotestosterone,AndroGel,Androderm,Andropatch,Androtop,Histerone,Sterotate,Sustanon,Testim,Testoderm,Testolin,Testopel,Testosterone Sulfate,17 beta Hydroxy 4 Androsten 3 one,17 beta Hydroxy 8 alpha 4 Androsten 3 one,8 Isotestosterone
D013963 Thyroid Hormones Natural hormones secreted by the THYROID GLAND, such as THYROXINE, and their synthetic analogs. Thyroid Hormone,Hormone, Thyroid,Hormones, Thyroid
