    Nodular goiter tissues with low triiodothyronine (T3) showed high thyroxine (T4)/T3 ratios. This may indicate impaired thyroid function or suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion in patients with non-toxic goiters.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Thyroid Research
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Nodular non-toxic goiter is a common thyroid condition.
    • Thyroid hormone levels, particularly triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), are crucial indicators of thyroid function.
    • Understanding the biochemical and histological characteristics of nodular goiter tissue is important for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the concentrations of iodothyronines and thyroglobulin (Tg) in nodular goiter tissues with low T3.
    • To compare these findings with tissues having normal T3 levels.
    • To explore the relationship between T3 levels, T4/T3 ratio, and histological features in nodular goiter.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of six nodular tissues from untreated patients and four from treated patients with nodular non-toxic goiter.

  • Measurement of T3, T4, and thyroglobulin (Tg) concentrations in thyroid tissues.
  • Histological examination of nodular goiter tissues.
  • Comparison of tissues with low T3 (<1 ug/g w.w.) versus normal T3 (>1 ug/g w.w.).

    • Main Results:

    • Nodular tissues with low T3 exhibited a high T4/T3 ratio.
    • In untreated patients, low T3 tissues showed similar T4 and Tg concentrations compared to normal T3 tissues.
    • In treated patients, T4 was reduced disproportionately to T3 in low T3 goiters.
    • Histologically, low T3 goiters were characterized by significant fibrous infiltration and hemorrhage.

    Conclusions:

    • Low T3 and a high T4/T3 ratio in nodular goitrous tissue may suggest significantly impaired thyroid function.
    • These findings could also be indicative of suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) secretion.
    • The observed histological differences highlight potential distinct pathological processes in goiters with varying T3 levels.
