|
what does T3 increase?
|
respiration, carb metabolism, fat metabolism, body temperature, heart rate, neuromuscular activity
|
|
|
what converts T4 --> T3?
|
deiodinase enzymes in the target tissues
|
|
|
difference between thyroglobullin and thyroxine-binding globulin?
|
thyroglobulin: large quantities of thyroid hormone are stored as part of biosynth precursor thyroglobulin
TBG: T3/T4 circulate bound to TBG T4 binds tighter and that is why it is longer lived |
|
|
what is thyroperoxidase used for?
|
attatching I- to tyrosine
|
|
|
liothyronine sodium
|
replacement for T3
TIMES 3 = 9 must be given in multiple doses per day; greater potency and shorter 1/2 life more effective in treating hypothyrodic coma |
|
|
levothyroxine
|
replacement for T4
used more often than T3 (once daily pill) |
|
|
MOA of methimazole, propylthiouracil (thiourelyenes)
|
inhibit synthesis of tyrosine iodination... decreased synthesis of thyroid hormones
|
|
|
methimazole
|
most commonly prescribed, once daily dosing
|
|
|
propythiouracil
|
ADDED action of inhibiting peripheral de-iodination of T4 --> T3 (treatment of acute thyroid storm sometimes, more often long-term stabilization)
|
|
|
iodide can surprisingly be used for what?
|
hyperthyroidism.
relatively rapid inhibition of thyroid hormones (thyroid becomes smaller within 2 weeks) |
