Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the effects of thyrotropin and the long-acting thyroid stimulator on guinea pig adipose tissue.
Ian R. Hart,J. M. Mckenzie +1 more
TL;DR: Neither TSH nor LATS consistently affected glucose oxidation or incorporation of glucose carbon into total glycerides but both substances stimulated lipolysis and the incorporation of sugar carbon into glyceride-glycerol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solubilization, purification, and partial characterization of thyrotropin receptor from bovine and human thyroid glands.
TL;DR: In an attempt to purify the thyroid receptor for TSH and to study interaction with the thyroid-stimulating antibody (TSAb) of graves' disease, bovine and human thyroid glands were used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation by thyrotropin, long-acting thyroid stimulator, and dibutyryl 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate of protein and ribonucleic acid synthesis and ribonucleic acid polymerase activities in porcine thyroid in vitro
TL;DR: Data are seen as affording evidence for mediation by 3′,5′-AMP of effects of thyrotropin and long-acting thyroid stimulator on thyroid RNA and protein synthesis, at least in part through an indirect stimulation of nuclear RNA polymerase activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroid hydrolysis of cyclic AMP as influenced by thyroid gland activity
TL;DR: It is suggested that hydrolysis of the high-energy 3′-bond of cyclic AMP may be related to its actions in mediating the effects of thyrotropin, and theophylline is also a 5′-nucleotidase inhibitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does LATS cause hyperthyroidism in Graves' disease? (A review biased toward the affirmative).
TL;DR: Doubts about the colse pathogenetic relationship of LATS to hyperthyroidism are raised, and the existence of a permissive factor that facilitates its action on the thyroid is one postulate that may reconcile the apparent discrepancies.
