In this study, we aimed to evaluate the possible relations of serum leptin and thyroid hormones on insulin treatment of surgically thyroidectomized and streptozotosin induced diabetic group of rats and whether the thyroid hormones control the leptin levels or leptin levels affect the thyroid hormones in DM. The Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to eight groups: group 1, control; group 2, diabetes (injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with streptozotocin (stz) 55 mg/kg); group 3, diabetes + insulin (rats were treated with insulin, 7-10 U/kg/day, subcutaneously); group 4, surgically thyroidectomized control; group 5, thyroidectomized + diabetes (3 weeks after the surgical operation, injected i.p. with stz); group 6, thyroidectomized + diabetes + insulin; group 7, thyroidectomized + diabetes + insulin + thyroid hormone (after diabetes induction, rats were treated with insulin and thyroid hormone, levothyroxin sodium (T4; 2.5 microg/kg); group 8, thyroidectomized + diabetes + insulin + thyroid hormone (T4; 5 microg/kg). The free and total T3 and T4 levels were measured in serum samples by otoanalyzer, and leptin levels were determined by ELISA method. The main finding of our recent study is that the decreased levels of serum leptin during the diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypothyroidism with diabetes can be regulated in different percentages with the treatment of insulin and various doses of thyroid hormone. The observations in our study suggest the idea that during diabetic hypothyroidism, without thyroid hormone treatment, insulin is not sufficient to balance the metabolic pathways so mediated effects of insulin in leptin regulation via thyroid hormones are an increased possibility.

D007037 Hypothyroidism A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D013965 Thyroidectomy Surgical removal of the thyroid gland. (Dorland, 28th ed) Thyroidectomies
D013974 Thyroxine The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.

D014284 Triiodothyronine A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
