Evidence for thyroid hormone deficiency in iron-deficient anemic rats

The Journal of Nutrition

Abstract

Iron-deficient anemic rats have previously been shown to have low plasma levels of thyroid hormone and a poor plasma thyroid hormone response to acute cold exposure. As an initial exploration, we examined thyroid hormone metabolism during iron deficiency in age-matched rats from three aspects: 1) plasma TSH (thyrotropin, thyroid stimulating hormone), T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine) responses to graded doses of exogenous TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone), 2) plasma T3 kinetics, and 3) rates of hepatic T3 production. Iron-deficient anemic rats had lower basal TSH values and blunted TSH responses to intravenous TRH injection at three different doses (10, 25 and 50 ng TRH/100 g body wt). Iron-deficient anemic rats also had a significant decrease in plasma T3 turnover (42 vs. 88 ng/h in controls), and significantly lower hepatic T4-5'-deiodinase activities than controls [26 vs. 44.0 ng T3/(mg protein.20 min)]. Thus, decreased rates of T3 production in iron-deficient anemic rats, as documented by turnover studies, may be related to decreased deiodinase activity and reduced peripheral formation of T3. The dampened TSH responses to TRH further facilitate or perpetuate this T3 deficiency. We propose that this abnormal thyroid...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
