FEEDBACK REGULATION
THE HYPOTHALAMIC-PITUITARY-THYROID AXIS
Hormones derived from the pituitary that regulate
the synthesis and/or secretion of other hormones are
known as trophic hormones.
Key players for the thyroid include:
TRH - Thyrophin Releasing Hormone
TSH - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
T4/T3 - Thyroid hormones

TSH REGULATION OF
THYROID FUNCTION
• TSH binds to specific cell surface receptors
that stimulate adenylate cyclase to produce
cAMP.
• TSH increases metabolic activity that is
required to synthesize Thyroglobulin (Tg)
and generate peroxide.
• TSH stimulates both I uptake and iodination
of tyrosine resides on Tg.

THYROID HORMONES IN THE BLOOD
• Approximately 99.98% of T4 is bound to 3
serum proteins: Thyroid binding globulin
(TBG) ~75%; Thyroid binding prealbumin
(TBPA or transthyretin) 15-20%; albumin
~5-10%
• Only ~0.02% of the total T4 in blood is
unbound or free.
• Only ~0.4% of total T3 in blood is free.

DEIODINASES
• Three deiodinases (D1, D2 & D3) catalyze the
generation and/disposal of bioactive thyroid
hormone.
• D1 & D2 “bioactivate” thyroid hormone by
removing a single “outer-ring” iodine atom.
• D3 “inactivates” thyroid hormone by removing a
single “inner-ring”iodine atom.
• All family members contain the novel amino acid
selenocysteine (SeC) in their catalytic center.

FAMILY OF NUCLEAR RECEPTORS
SPECIFIC ACTIONS OF THYROID
HORMONE: METABOLIC
• Regulates of Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
• Increases oxygen consumption in most
target tissues.
• Permissive actions: TH increases sensitivity
of target tissues to catecholamines, thereby
elevating lipolysis, glycogenolysis, and
gluconeogenesis.
SPECIFIC ACTIONS OF THYROID
HORMONE: DEVELOPMENT
• TH is critical for normal development of the
skeletal system and musculature.
• TH is also essential for normal brain development
and regulates synaptogenesis, neuronal integration,
myelination and cell migration.
• Cretinism is the term for the constellation of
defects resulting from untreated neonatal
hypothyroidism.
