Thyroid hormones 3 – the abnormalities Lecture NO: 2nd MBBS
Dr Muhammad Ramzan
2
Abnormalities of TH – the definition
It refers to the ability of thyroid gland to produce its hormones that are either too high or too low for the body requirements Thyroid gland may be overactive to produce excess or under active to produce less ones webster.com
3
TH abnormalities --The background
Although THs are not strictly necessary for life, yet they have profound effects on: Many physiological processes like body growth, development and metabolism TH are essential for CNS development in children Deficiency of TH is not compatible with normal life –
4
TH abnormalities –The types
TH abnormalities may be related either to excess or deficiency and affects all the body cells These cells are the targets for the thyroid hormones TH abnormalities occur both in children and adults
5
TH abnormalities – the excess
Excess of TH refers to hyperthyroidism Thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much TH than body requirements It is also called as Thyrotoxicosis Thyroid speeds up body metabolism
6
Hyperthyroidism in general elevated T4/3 ,normal TSH
TH excess is characterized by increase in the : Basal metabolic rate(BMR), oxygen consumption and Heat production through hydrolysis of ATP There is elevation of FT3 / FT4 with normal TSH
7
Metabolic effects of Thyrotoxicosis 2 types
These are divided into 2: Hyperthyroid effects Metabolic effects on Proteins, Lipids and CHO
8
Hyperthyroid effects Weight loss and cold tolerance due to↑ in BMR /heat production Warm/ wet hands and high colored skin due to : hyper dynamic circulation Rapid pulse, brisk reflexes and peripheral tremors for: nervous excitation Bulging and perfused eyes for unknown cause -
9
Perfused skin, eyes and face
10
Hyperthyroidism – Bulging eyes
11
Metabolic effects of hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism affects the metabolism of : Proteins Lipids and Carbohydrates(CHO)
12
Effects on Protein metabolism
Promotes protein breakdown /Proteolysis of Skeletal muscles and releases more AAs in plasma. Promotes Gluconeogenesis for ↑ in plasma AAs Proteolysis reduces body weight; muscle weakness, body growth and development in children Inhibits protein synthesis/ Proteogenesis
13
Effects on Lipid metabolism promotes Lipolysis
TH excess stimulates Lipolysis and ↑ FFAs level Promotes FA oxidation to generate extra energy Reduces TG synthesis/ Adipose tissue mass and Lowers Plasma Cholesterol and TG
14
Effects on Carbohydrate (CHO) metabolism
TH stimulate all the aspects of CHO metabolism and promotes : Intestinal absorption of glucose Glucose uptake by the body cells and glycolysis Break down of glycogen – Glycogenolysis Glycogen synthesis/Glycogenesis and Gluconeogenesis
15
The deficiency of TH It is the inability of thyroid gland to produce enough TH for body requirements. Thyroid gland is under active The condition is called hypothyroidism or myxoedema This condition is more common in females
16
Hypothyroidism in general ↑TSH normal FT3/T4
Hypothyroidism results in slowing down of Basal metabolic rate – BMR and reduction in : Body metabolism; Oxygen consumption and heat production and hydrolysis of ATP There is elevation of TSH with normal TF4/FT3
17
Metabolic effects of Hypothyroidism
These are divided into 2: Hypothyroid effects Metabolic effects on the Proteins; Lipids and CHOs
18
Hypothyroid effects These include :
Weight gain and non pitting oedema for the S/C deposition of muco polysaccharides/Glycos aminoglyscans /GAGs Skin is thick; rough, hairless and cold for the hypo dynamic circulation Face is expression less due to oedema and S/C deposition of GAGs Pulse/heart rate is slow, reflexes are low and patient is sluggish mentally for the nervous depression
19
Hypothyroidism – Mental sluggishness
20
Hypothyroidism in a female – swollen/ expression less face
21
Non pitting edema of feet
22
Pretibial Myxoedema
23
Hypothyroidism – the metabolic effects
Hypothyroidism affects the metabolism of : Carbohydrate Lipids and Proteins
24
Effects on protein metabolism
Hypothyroidism reduces Proteogenesis and promotes proteolysis especially in skeletal muscles Excess of glucoplastic amino acids are released from the skeletal muscle break down These Amino acids are used as substrate for hepatic Gluconeogenesis
25
The deficiency – Effects on Lipid metabolism
Dyslipidemia is commonly observed in hypothyroidism This includes ↑ in plasma levels of : TG, Total Cholesterol and LDL- Cholesterol Low HDL- Cholesterol Increase in body adipose tissues and reduction in fatty acid oxidation
26
Effects on CHO metabolism
Hypothyroidism suppresses : All aspects of CHO metabolism Reduces intestinal absorption of glucose and uptake of glucose by the body cells (Skeletal muscles and Fatty tissues) Lowers Glycolysis, release of energy and ATP production and body temperature
27
Hypothyroidism - Effects on CHO metabolism cont.
Produces hyperglycemia and Diabetes mellitus ↓ glycogen synthesis (Glycogenesis) and its storage in liver ↑ in the S/C deposition of Glycosaminoglycans/GAGs producing non pitting edema – a hallmark of hypothyroidism
28
Hypothyroidism in infants and children congenital hypothyroidism
Congenital hypothyroidism refers to hypothyroidism A deficiency or lack of TH at birth If deficiency of TH is not detected earlier, it will lead to deficiency in IQ and development of CNS
29
Hypothyroidism in infants/ children the presentation
Infants are lethargic,have slow movements and low body temperature They have big head, protruding tongue , puffy face and feeding problems Results of treatment are excellent if started earlier
