Biological Activity of L-Thyroxine

DescriptionL-Thyroxine (Levothyroxine; T4) is a synthetic hormone in the treatment of hypothyroidism. DIO enzymes convert biologically active thyroid hormone (Triiodothyronine,T3) from L-Thyroxine (T4).In Vivo:Deiodinases (DIOs), which catalyse the conversion of thyroxine (pro-hormone) to the active thyroid hormone, are associated with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. DIO1 and DIO2 catalyze activation of thyroid hormone secretion in contrast to DIO3 playing role inactivation of the secretion. Activities of DIO1 and DIO2 play pivotal role in the negative feedback regulation of pituitary TSH secretion[1]. L-Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3) hormones are known to modulate the expression of ionic channels, pumps and regulatory contractile proteins. Moreover, thyroid hormones have been shown to influence calcium homeostasis and flux responsible for excitation and contractility, with L-Thyroxine and Triiodothyronine modulating its pharmacological control and secretion. In rats fed 12 weeks with the iodine-free diet, a significant decrease in the levels of both Triiodothyronine and L-Thyroxine is observed when compared to the control group fed with standard diet (p<0.001). In the group treated with low doses of L-Thyroxine, an increase in L-Thyroxine levels is observed (p=0.02) while Triiodothyronine levels remain virtually similar to the control group (p=0.19). Rats treated with high doses of L-Thyroxine display a significant increase in both Triiodothyronine and L-Thyroxine circulating concentrations compared to the non-treated hypothyroid group (p<0.001 and p=0.004, respectively) and a significant increase in L-Thyroxine levels when compared to the control values (p=0.03)[2].

Protocol

Animal Administration [2]
Rats[2] Sprague-Dawley female rats (N=22) are used. Non-pregnant rats are divided into four groups: 1) control, 2) hypothyroidism, 3) hypothyroidism treated with low doses of L-Thyroxine (20 μg/kg/day) and 4) with high doses of L-Thyroxine (100 μg/kg/day). Control rats (group 1) are fed with standard diet, while the intervention rats are fed with iodine-free diet for 12 weeks to induce hypothyroidism (groups 2-4) which is continued for four more weeks to allow screening of hypothyroid status and L-Thyroxine-treatment. Food and water (iodine-free diet) are available ad libitum. The hypothyroid group treated with low (group 3) or high doses of L-Thyroxine (group 4) are injected intraperitoneally every 24 h with respectively 20 μg/kg/day and 100 μg/kg/day. Blood samples are collected for thyroid function screening at week 12 and 16 following the initiation of either the control or iodine-free diet. Hysterectomy is performed under general anesthesia (isoflurane 2%) at the end of the treatment and the two uterine horns are placed in physiological Krebs' solution until isometric tension measurements within no more than 1 h.

The effect of l-thyroxine treatment on sexual function and depressive symptoms in men with autoimmune hypothyroidism.[Pubmed:28315587]

Pharmacol Rep. 2017 Jun;69(3):432-437.

BACKGROUND: Thyroid autoimmunity and mild hypothyroidism in women seem to be associated with sexual dysfunction and depressive symptoms. Data concerning similar associations in men are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate sexual functioning and depressive symptoms in men with autoimmune hypothyroidism. METHODS: The study population consisted of three groups: men with autoimmune overt hypothyroidism (group A), men with autoimmune subclinical hypothyroidism (group B) and healthy euthyroid males without thyroid autoimmunity (group C). Apart from measuring serum levels of thyrotropin and free thyroid hormones and thyroid antibody titers, all included patients completed a questionnaires evaluating male sexual function (International Index of Erectile Function-15: IIEF-15) and assessing the presence and severity of depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition - BDI-II) before and after 6 months of levothyroxine treatment. RESULTS: Men with overt hypothyroidism obtained lower scores in all five domains of IIEF-15, while men with subclinical hypothyroidism only in erectile function. The total BDI-II score was higher in groups A than in groups B and C, as well as higher in group B than in group C. L-Thyroxine improved erectile function and normalized intercourse satisfaction, orgasmic function, sexual desire and overall satisfaction in group A, as well as normalized erectile function in group B. In group A, L-Thyroxine reduced, while in group B tended to reduce total BDI-II. CONCLUSIONS: The obtained results suggest that autoimmune hypothyroidism in men is characterized by sexual and mood disturbances and that hypothyroid patients with sexual dysfunction and depressive symptoms benefit from L-Thyroxine treatment.

Thyroid function in children and adolescents with Hashimoto's thyroiditis after l-thyroxine discontinuation.[Pubmed:28348002]

Endocr Connect. 2017 May;6(4):206-212.

OBJECTIVE: Thyroid function may recover in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). DESIGN: To investigate thyroid function and the need to resume L-Thyroxine treatment after its discontinuation. SETTING: Nine Italian pediatric endocrinology centers. PATIENTS: 148 children and adolescents (25 m and 123 f) with HT on treatment with L-Thyroxine for at least one year. INTERVENTION AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Treatment was discontinued in all patients, and serum TSH and fT4 concentrations were measured at the time of treatment discontinuation and then after 2, 6, 12 and 24 months. Therapy with L-Thyroxine was re-instituted when TSH rose >10 U/L and/or fT4 was below the normal range. The patients were followed up when TSH concentrations were between 5 and 10 U/L and fT4 was in the normal range. RESULTS: At baseline, TSH was in the normal range in 139 patients, and was between 5 and 10 U/L in 9 patients. Treatment was re-instituted after 2 months in 37 (25.5%) patients, after 6 months in 13 patients (6.99%), after 12 months in 12 patients (8.6%), and after 24 months in an additional 3 patients (3.1%). At 24 months, 34 patients (34.3%) still required no treatment. TSH concentration >10 U/L at the time of diagnosis was the only predictive factor for the deterioration of thyroid function after L-Thyroxine discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that not all children with HT need life-long therapy with L-Thyroxine, and the discontinuation of treatment in patients with a TSH level <10 U/L at the time of diagnosis should be considered.

Effects of L-thyroxine treatment on heart functions in infants with congenital hypothyroidism.[Pubmed:28358714]

J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab. 2017 May 1;30(5):557-560.

BACKGROUND: Impaired heart functions in newborns with hypothyroidism should be reversed by levothyroxine substitution therapy. The aim of the study was to investigate heart functions with congenital hypothroidism (CH) in newborns and changes after levothyroxine substitution therapy, measured with tissue Doppler echocardiography and conventional echocardiography. METHODS: The study included 30 neonates with CH and 34 healthy controls. Echocardiography were performed at baseline, 2nd week and 6th month of therapy. RESULTS: Heart systolic function was normal. Mitral E velocities and mitral E/A ratios were significantly lower in patients at baseline. Tei indices were significantly higher in patients and a significant negative correlation was detected between free thyroxine levels and Tei indices.When early and late post-treatment echocardiography findings are compared, a non-significant difference was detected. CONCLUSIONS: Neonates with CH may exhibit systolic and diastolic heart dysfunction, which can be reversed by early L-T4 substitution treatment. The Tei index index should be measured in addition to conventional echocardiography.

Alteration of Hemostatic Parameters in Patients with Different Levels of Subclinical Hypothyroidism and the Effect of L-thyroxine Treatment.[Pubmed:28249913]

Ann Clin Lab Sci. 2017 Jan;47(1):29-35.

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is associated with hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of L-Thyroxine (L-T4) treatment and to evaluate changes in the hemostatic abnormalities of patients with varying severities of SH. We measured tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), D-dimer (DDI), fibrinogen (FIB), platelet counts (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and prothrombin time (PT) in 149 female subjects. The prospective study included 54 patients in the control group, 53 patients with 4.2 muIU/mL/=10 muIU/mL (severe SH). All patients with a TSH value of >/=10 muIU/mL were given L-T4 replacement therapy, titrated to normalize their TSH levels. There were significant differences in the triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and serum uric acid (UA) levels, and in the MPV, PDW, APTT, FIB, PAI-1, t-PA, and DDI (P<0.05) measurements among three groups. These data were further tested using the least significant difference method for multiple comparisons. Patients in the severe SH group showed higher FIB, PAI-1 and t-PA levels, lower DDI levels and shorter APTT compared with the control group, whereas the hemostatic parameters in the mild SH patients were not different compared with those of the control group. After 6 months of L-T4 treatment, a significant decrease in FIB, PAI-1 and t-PA levels and an increase in APTT and DDI were observed in the severe SH group. In conclusion, SH patients displayed a distinct pattern of alteration of hemostatic parameters that was dependent on the severity of the disease. Patients with TSH levels >/=10 muIU/mL displayed hypercoagulability, which was reversed by 6 months of L-T4 treatment.
