Objectives You should: You should: - be able to describe the physiology of thyroid. - be able to describe the drugs used in the treatment of thyroid disorder including the mechanisms of action, clinical uses and adverse reactions.

Thyroid physiology Thyroid physiology Thyroid hormones includes tetraiodothyronine (T 4 ) and triiodothyronine(T 3 ). Thyroid hormones includes tetraiodothyronine (T 4 ) and triiodothyronine(T 3 ). Normalize growth and development, body temperature, and energy levels. These hormones contain 65% and 59% (respectively) of iodine as an essential part of the molecule.

Thyroid physiology Calcitonin, the second type of thyroid hormone, is important in the regulation of calcium metabolism Calcitonin, the second type of thyroid hormone, is important in the regulation of calcium metabolism

Iodide Metabolism Iodide Metabolism Iodide (I - ) intake is via the gastrointestinal tract from food, water, or medication. Iodide (I - ) intake is via the gastrointestinal tract from food, water, or medication. The recommended daily adult intake is 150μg (200μg during pregnancy). The recommended daily adult intake is 150μg (200μg during pregnancy). The thyroid gland takes up about 75μg a day for hormone secretion. The thyroid gland takes up about 75μg a day for hormone secretion.

Thyroid physiology

Biosynthesis of Thyroid Hormone Biosynthesis of Thyroid Hormone 1. Iodide trapping( 摄取 ): iodine pump, 2. Iodide organification (Iodide activation and Tyrosine iodized): iodide is oxidized by thyroidal peroxidase( 过氧 化酶 ) to iodine, in which form it iodinates tyrosine residues ( 酪氨酸残基 ) within the thyroglobulin molecule to form monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and diiodotyrosine (DIT). 3. Combine: DIT+DIT→T 4, DIT+MIT →T Release: proteolysis and exocytosis. T 4 > 90%.  The process of proteolysis is also blocked by high levels of intrathyroidal iodide.

Control of Thyroid Function Control of Thyroid Function 1. Hypothalamic(TRH)- Pituitary (TSH)- Thyroid (T 4 and T 3 ). 2. Autoregulation of the thyroid gland: related to the level of iodine in the blood.

Peripheral Metabolism of Thyroid Hormones

BASIC PHARMACOLOGY OF THYROID & ANTITHYROID DRUGS

Thyroid hormones Chemistry The synthetic dextro (D) isomer of thyroxine, dextrothyroxine, has approximately 4% of the biologic activity of the L isomer as evidenced by its lesser ability to suppress TSH secretion and correct hypothyroidism.
