ABSTRACT

Sixteen Wistar rats were studied in the last week of pregnancy. Another group of 6 nonpregnant animals served as control. Eight pregnant and 6 control ratas were kept in the cold room at 4 degrees C for 4 days, while 8 pregnant rats remained at 22 degrees C. After blocking the thyroid gland with potassium perchlorate to prevent iodine reutilization, a dose of 4 microCi of 125I-T3 was injected i.p. Thereafter, animals were placed in individual metabolic cages for separate 24 h collection of urine and feces. Heparinized blood samples were obtained at 4, 14, 24 and 28 h following tracer injection. Pregnant rats exposed to cold had a significant increase in T3 fractional turnover as compared to pregnants at 22 degrees C (p < 0.005) and to controls at 4 degrees C (p < 0.02). No changes were observed in space of distribution, serum concentration and body pool of T3. Degradation of this hormone, however, was significantly augmented (p < 0.05) in pregnants at 4 degrees C as compared to pregnants at 22 degrees C, although not when compared to controls at 4 degrees C. The urinary excretion of 125I was increased in pregnants in the cold (p <0.005) versus pregnants at 22 degrees C. The metabolic (p < 0.005), urinary (p < 0.001) and fecal (p < 0.05) clearances in pregnants at 4 degrees C were augmented with respect to the other two groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

ABSTRACT

El factor de crescimiento epidérmico (EGF) es un polipéptido de potente acción mitogénica. La probable influencia de esto factor sobre la fisiología del eje hipofiso-tiroideo no ha sido establecida. En el presente trabajo se estudió la acción del EGF sobre la secreción de TSH por hipófisis de ratas Wistar macho in vitro. Cada adenohipófisis fue colocada en una cámara de purifusión conectada a una bomba peristáltica que impulsaba el fluído de perifusión (medio 199, pH 7,3) a un ritmo de 100 *l/min. Cada cámara, conteniendo una hipófisis y 600 *l de fluído de perifusión, fue mantenida en un baño a 37§C. Se obtuvieron muestras del effluente (1 ml cada 10 min.) durante 60 min. para medir TSH basal. Luego se agregó en cámaras individuales, TRH en concentración final de 10-8 M o EGF en concentraciones de 10-8 M a 10-11 M, luego de lo cual se continuócon la colección del efluente cada 10 min. por otros 60 minutos. En cada muestra se midió TSH (ng/ml) por RIA (NIADDK, rTSH-RP 2 standard). Resultados: en el estudio con TRH, la TSH basal promedió 32,1 ñ 6,5 ng/ml con un pico post-TRH de 105 ñ 13,8 ng/ml a los 10 min. (P<0,005), retornando al valor basal ...
