GRIZARD We have examined insulin action on glucose metabolism in six hypothyroid patients before and after regular thyroid hormone treatment, and in six healthy volunteers before and after...

.... Urinary excretion of arginine-vasopressin was increased in hyperthyroid and reduced in hypothyroid rats with respect to controls, in response to water deprivation or a hypertonic saline load. 3. Control and hypothyroid rats showed the highest urinary excretion of digoxin-like immunoreactive factor after...

...M. Salleh M. Ardawi; Sawsan M. Jalalah 1. The metabolism of glucose and glutamine was studied in the small intestine and the colon of rats after 4–5 weeks of hypothyroidism. 2. Hypothyroidism resulted in increases in the plasma concentrations of ketone bodies ( P < 0.05), cholesterol ( P...

...P. E. Harris; B. M. Lewis; C. Dieguez; R. Hall; M. F. Scanlon 1. The effects of hypothyroidism in utero , and continuing into postnatal life, on the central turnover of catecholamines, noradrenaline and dopamine were studied in rats. 2. Rats were rendered hypothyroid in utero by treating pregnant...

... capacity, total and active rubidium (used instead of potassium) influx were all significantly increased in untreated hyperthyroidism and decreased in untreated hypothyroidism. 4. In hyperthyroidism, there was also a decrease in plasma potassium, an increase in sodium efflux rate and efflux rate constant...

...A. J. McCulloch; R. Nosadini; A. Pernet; M. Piniewska; D. B. Cook; F. Clark; D. G. Johnston; K. G. M. M. Alberti 1. Glucose turnover was examined by using simultaneous bolus intravenous tracer administration of both [3- 3 H]glucose and [1- 14 C]glucose in hyperthyroid and hypothyroid subjects...

... hypothyroid patients had normal strength whereas four out of five hyperthyroid patients were weak. 3. Relaxation rate was decreased in all the hypothyroid patients but increased in only three out of five hyperthyroid patients. 4. In hypothyroidism there was a marked reduction in the percentage contributed...

...R. S. Elkeles; J. H. Lazarus; K. Siddle; A. K. Campbell 1. The plasma adenosine 3′:5′-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) response to intravenously administered glucagon has been studied in nine hyperthyroid, five hypothyroid and ten euthyroid patients. 2. Concentrations of the nucleotide rose...
