Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones

6.4K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
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...

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay

16.4K
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen.  Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...

Functions of Thyroid Hormones

4.4K
The thyroid hormone (TH) plays a pivotal role in the intricate orchestration of physiological processes, exerting profound effects on development, metabolism, and homeostasis throughout different life stages.
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...

Regulation of Hormone Secretion01:19

Regulation of Hormone Secretion

5.6K
Regulation of hormone secretion is a finely tuned orchestration driven by various types of stimuli, encompassing neural, humoral, and hormonal signals. Environmental cues instigate neural stimuli, where action potentials traverse nerve fibers to reach their designated targets. An illustrative scenario is the body's response to stress, wherein the sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine from the adrenal glands, inducing the well-known 'fight or flight' reaction.
Humoral...

  • Nanomaterials in diagnostics

Background:

  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level determination is crucial for diagnosing hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
  • Existing diagnostic methods may require further refinement for sensitivity and efficiency.

  • The immunosensor demonstrated good reproducibility, repeatability, linearity, and sensitivity.
  • Limit of detection (LOD) was 0.026 mIU/L, and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.086 mIU/L.
  • Linear detection range for TSH was established between 0.1-0.6 mIU/L with minimal interference from serum components.

Conclusions:

  • The developed polyamidoamine dendrimer-based impedimetric immunosensor is a sensitive and reliable tool for TSH measurement.
  • This novel biosensor shows potential for accurate diagnosis of thyroid-related conditions.
  • Further validation in clinical settings is warranted to establish its diagnostic utility.
