Changes in thyroid hormones and serum lipids of aged women following thyroidectomy
Abstract:
Thyrotropin (TSH), thyroxine (T24) 3,5,3403 triiodothyronine (T23), serum lipid levels and ECG findings in females who underwent thyroidectomy 2-44 years earlier, were compared to those of similar controls with intact thyroid. Pathological ECG is more frequent in thyroidectomized persons who also exhibit higher thyrotropin and lower HDL-cholesterol levels. The results indicate that thyroidectomized state should be regarded and controlled as a possible condition of subclinical hypothyreosis, being a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases.

Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The iodine is then...
Functions of Thyroid Hormones
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...
