Effects of chronic TSH treatment on blood sugar, serum IRI and FFA levels of thyroidectomized dogs. Glucose and insulin tolerance tests. 1978

A Renauld, and R C Sverdlik, and L L Andrade, and R R Rodríguez

The effects of TSH treatment (0.1 USPU/kg body weight/die, for 3-4 days) on the blood sugar, serum IRI and circulating FFA responses to glucose and insulin were studied. Blood sugar and serum FFA levels of the dogs, in basal conditions and at any time interval during the test were slightly modified by TSH treatment. The kinetics of insulin disappearance from blood was not affected while the mean serum IRI during the insulin tolerance test was moderately reduced, which suggests that insulin space is moderately raised by TSH. The serum IRI response to glucose (OGTT, IVGTT) was found to be significantly and intensely reduced. The possibility of an inhibitory action of TSH on the insulin response to glucose in dogs, excluding the participation of the thyroid, exerted via insulin space and secretion is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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).

D005951 Glucose Tolerance Test A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).

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.
