The kidney is a target organ for thyroid hormone action and a variety of renal transport processes are altered in response to impaired thyroid functions...

08/2005 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterWe examined insulin sensitivity and secretion, together with the levels of selected glucoregulatory hormones, in 15 female patients with severe hypothyroidism (H) and during subsequent thyroid hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using the euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp technique...

07/2005 | Clinical Chemical Laboratory Medicine, Walter de GruyterOur aims were: 1) to analyze the effect of the methodology used to derive clinically feasible cut-off values for thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), which exhibit highly skewed distributions; and 2) to describe the influence of thyroid antibodies on thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) reference intervals among thyroid disease-free aged subjects...
