The effect of intramuscular thyrotropin-releasing hormone on the thyroid 131I uptake in man. 1975

F Azizi, and A G Vagenakis, and L E Braverman

The effect of a single large intramuscular injections of TRH (2 mg) on the thyroid 131I uptake in normal man was assessed at varying intervals following the administration of TRH. When the 131I was given simultaneously with TRH, the 3- and 5-hour 131I uptake decreased. When the 131I was administered 8 hours after TRH, the thyroid 131I increased significantly. This response in uptake is similar to that observed in the rat following TSH stimulation. The present study defines the time course of the thyroid 131I uptake response to endogenous TSH stimulation.

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.

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.

D013973 Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
