[The influence of primidone on thyroid function (author's transl)]. 1979

W Schönberger, and W Grimm, and G Schönberger, and K Sinterhauf, and E Scheidt, and R Ziegler

The influence of primidone on thyroxine level, T3 index, FT4 index, triiodothyronine level, T3 (RIA)/T4 (RIA) quotient as well as on the TSH basal and stimulated values was investigated in 30 children on long-term treatment. The values obtained were compared statistically with those of a normal group. During primidone treatment a drop in T4 level and in FT4 index as well as an increase in T3 (RIA)/T4 (RIA) quotient was observed. On the other hand the triiodothyronine level and the T3 index were not influenced. The TSH basal and stimulated values were not statistically different from the control group. Thus the primidone-treated children are euthyroid according to the TRH test. Primidone probably stimulates hepatocellular thyroxine breakdown.

D011324 Primidone A barbiturate derivative that acts as a GABA modulator and anti-epileptic agent. It is partly metabolized to PHENOBARBITAL in the body and owes some of its actions to this metabolite. Desoxyphenobarbital,Primaclone,Apo-Primidone,Liskantin,Misodine,Mizodin,Mylepsinum,Mysoline,Primidon Holsten,Resimatil,Sertan,Apo Primidone

D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively. Thyroid,Gland, Thyroid,Glands, Thyroid,Thyroid Glands,Thyroids
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.

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.
