What is the Wolff-chaikoff effect
when there is a lot of iodine, at first it is taken (in canal sodium) but TPO is inhibited and no hormones are produced. But then we down-regulate those canals so we produce hormones again
Who has the longest demi-vie: T3 or T4
T4 (1 semaine vs 1.5 day)
Effets des hormones thyroidiennes
- cardio-vasculaire (contractilite, resistance vasculaire, oxygen consumption, cardiac output)
- muscles squelettiques (oxygen consumption, blood flow, protein synthesis, contractility)
- kidney (blood flow, clearance rates, vasoactive mediators)
- liver (protein synthesis, clearance functions)
- all organ systems (thermogenesis)
