T3 is absolutely required for perinatal brain development. i). Growth of cerebral and cerebellar cortex. ii). Axon proliferation iii). Synaptogenesis. 2. In Adults, enhances: i). Wakefulness and responsiveness ii). Emotional tone iii). memory Sympathetic Nervous System. 1. Synergizes with sympathetic nervous system. i). Promotes increases in b-adrenergic receptor and Gs proteins. ii). Important for metabolic and cardiac effects of thyroid hormone. Primary Hyperthyroidism: T4 and T3, TSH 1. Autoimmune thyroiditis: Grave’s disease - Autoantibodies bind and activate TSH receptors - Other: Tumor of thyroid gland. 2. Symptoms: - Large increases in BMR Leads to weight loss despite increased food intake. - Heat production: heat intolerance and excessive sweating. - SNS activity Tachycardia, tremor, nervousness, wide-eyed stare - Enlarged thyroid gland – Goiter - Exophthalmos: Protrusion of eyeballs. Rx For Hyperthyroidism - 1 I- I- c a p Na 1 I- Block Active Transport of iodide Complex anions: monovalent, hydrated ions similar in size to Iodide. Thiocyanate: found in certain foods and in cigarette smoke (in large doses, thiocyanate can also inhibit organification) Problems- The Jim Jones effect Perchlorate (ClO4-) – 10x more active as thiocyanate. Low doses (750 mg per day) have been used in the treatment of Grave’s disease. Excessive doses (2-3 g per day ) causes increased incidence of fatal aplastic anemia.

This leads to partial destruction of the gland. - Used when prolonged treatment with anti-thyroid drugs or surgery has not led to remission. More commonly used in older patients- Major disadvantage is long period of time required before hyperthyroidism is controlled. Drugs that block Type I deiodinases: propylthiouracil Drugs that block both Type 1 and Type II deiodinases: sodium ipodate, iopanoic acid . In addition, metabolism of these drugs lead to the release of 75-150 mgs of iodide, which can further inhibit T4/T3 secretion. These drugs are commonly used as radiology contrast dyes.

Thyroid storm is a crisis or life-threatening condition characterized by an exaggeration of the usual physiologic response seen in hyperthyroidism * High fever * Tachycardia * Nausea/vomiting * Irregular heart beat * Acute heart failure * Confusion/disorientation 2. Usually precipitated by concurrent medical problems (infections, stress, surgery, trauma, heart disease, diabetic ketoacidosis) 3. Treatment: - antipyretics, - large dose (200-400 mg) propylthiouracil because of additional action of blocking peripheral T4 conversion - b-blockers (propranalol) to counteract effects on SNS and heart Primary Hypothyroidism T4 and T3 TSH 1. Autoimmune disease of thyroid: Hashimoto’s disease -Blocks hormone synthesis and glandular growth 2. Other Causes: i). Genetic defect in or autoantibodies vs. enzymes necessary for thyroid hormone synthesis or the conversion of T4 to T3. Severe iodide deficiency Lithium 3. Symptoms: - Myxedema: Accumulation of mucopolysaccharides with resultant fluid accumulation . - Decreased thermogenesis: cold intolerance - Lethargy, sleepiness, decreased mentation - Bradycardia. - Lowering of upper eyelid (ptosis) - In utero or infancy and childhood: Marked retardation in growth. Severe mental retardation due to poorly developed nervous system. Known as "cretins". Iodide replacement in small quantities (100-300 µg/day) if iodide deficiency is suspected. Hormone Replacement with T4 or T3 All can be given orally Synthetic Thyroxins: Levothyroxine sodium (SYNTHROID,) Synthetic T3: Lyothyronine sodium (L-T3) - 80% absorption in the small intestine that is partially blocked by Ca2+ and iron supplements Efficacy is monitored by serum TSH levels Adverse Effects: Rare and most often associated with excessive doses Looks like hyperthyroidism: heat intolerance, irritability, insomnia, nausea/vomiting, nervousness or anxiety, tremor, and weight loss. In patients with underlying cardiac problems: angina, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, palpitations, peripheral edema. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Patients with heart disease, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency and treatment for obesity DRUG INTERACTIONS Estrogen: Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBg) thereby free T4/T3 Barbiturates: hepatic metabolism of both Levothyroxine (SYNTHROID) and Lyothyronine T4/T3 Enhances the response to: anticoagulant therapy, Tricyclic antidepressants (receptor responsiveness), vasopresors and symapthomimetics ( receptor expression) Metabolism of Corticosteroids
