Effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the TSH secretion from rat pituitary cells
Abstract:
1,25(OH)2D3 slightly increases basal TSH in the incubation media after a 24 h incubation with increasing amounts of the hormone. The TRH induced TSH response increased significantly in the presence of 10(-8)M 1,25(OH)2D3 (P less than 0.05). The intracellular concentration of TSH after the TRH test showed a slight decreasing tendency after a 24 h incubation with increasing amounts of 1,25(OH)2D3. The presence of verapamil (10(-8) M) and propranolol (10(-8) M) blunted the enhancing effect of 1,25(OH)2D3. The results indicate an effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on the secretion of TSH.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

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...
