Influence of thyroid function on theophylline kinetics. 1984

S Vozeh, and M Otten, and J J Staub, and F Follath

Theophylline kinetics were examined in five patients with hyperthyroidism before and after treatment with carbimazole. Theophylline clearance fell after carbimazole, but the apparent volume of distribution did not change. There was a correlation between reduction in theophylline clearance and decreased thyroxine serum concentration. Data suggest that maximum induction is reached at a specific level of thyroxine beyond which no further increase in drug metabolizing activity takes place. In 15 subjects treated with aminophylline for acute bronchial obstruction, there was a positive correlation between thyroxine concentration and total body theophylline clearance (r = 0.72 for nonsmokers; r = 0.44 for smokers and nonsmokers).

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
