The effects of subchronic administration of carbamazepine on thyroid hormone metabolism were investigated in the hippocampus in adult male rats at two different measuring times (4 a.m. and 8 p.m.). Carbamazepine enhanced the activity of 5'II-deiodinase, which catalyzes the deiodination of the prohormone T4 to the active compound T3, at 8 p.m., but not at 4 a.m. The activity of 5III-deiodinase, which catalyzes the further deiodination of the active hormone T3 to its metabolite 3,3'T2, was inhibited at 4 a.m. but not at 8 p.m. These effects of carbamazepine on intracellular thyroid hormone metabolism in the hippocampus should theoretically lead to a rise in T3 production. It remains to be investigated whether they are somehow involved in the as yet unknown mechanisms underlying the anticonvulsant/mood-stabilizing effects of carbamazepine.

D002220 Carbamazepine A dibenzazepine that acts as a sodium channel blocker. It is used as an anticonvulsant for the treatment of grand mal and psychomotor or focal SEIZURES. It may also be used in the management of BIPOLAR DISORDER, and has analgesic properties.

D006624 Hippocampus A curved elevation of GRAY MATTER extending the entire length of the floor of the TEMPORAL HORN of the LATERAL VENTRICLE (see also TEMPORAL LOBE). The hippocampus proper, subiculum, and DENTATE GYRUS constitute the hippocampal formation. Sometimes authors include the ENTORHINAL CORTEX in the hippocampal formation.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.
