Divergent changes of serum 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine and 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine in patients with acute myocardial infarction. 1977

U Westgren, and A Burger, and K Levin, and A Melander, and G Nilsson, and U Pettersson

The serum levels of thyroxine (T4), 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3), 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (reverse T3, rT3), thyroxine-binding globulin and thyroid-stimulating hormone have been monitored in 13 patients with acute myocardial infarction. The major changes recorded were a transient decrease in T3 and a transient increase in rT3. They reached a nadir and a peak, respectively, within three days. A conceivable explanation for these alterations is that the monodeiodination of T4 is diverted from the activating pathway (T4 to T3) to the inactivating pathway (T4 to rT3).

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
