Overall function of thyroid hormones: Effects on cellular metabolism: thyroid regulates Na+/K+ pump EXTRACELLULAR FLUID 3 Na+ Sodium– potassium exchange pump 2 K+ ATP ADP CYTOPLASM Martini Figure 3-19 (like Sherwood Figure 3-14) Effects on cellular metabolism: thyroid regulates non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) http://people.duke.edu/~sc9/pics/figure1.jpg (see also Sherwood Figure 15-19) What kinds of animals would benefit most from NST? Simulated rat experiments “PhysioEx” supplement to Marieb lab manual (2014) Simulated rat experiments • Part 1: Determining the basal metabolic rates (BMR) • 3 rats: normal, thyroidectomized, hypophysectomized • Thyroidectomy = • Hypophysectomy = • Measure BMR as O2 consumption rate (mL O2 per kg per hour) • O2 consumption is determined in a closed “metabolic chamber” • Part 2: The effect of thyroxine on metabolic rate • Treatment is applied for 1-2 weeks • Part 3: The effect of TSH on metabolic rate • Treatment is applied for 1-2 weeks • Part 4: The effect of propylthiouracil on metabolic rate • Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a drug that inhibits thyroxine production by blocking the attachment of iodine to tyrosine residues • Treatment is applied for 1-2 weeks “PhysioEx” supplement to Marieb lab manual (2014) Experimental outcomes Experiment Normal Thyroidectomized Hypophysectomized 1.
