PHARM 27 Flashcards
Concentrates Iodide on basolateral membrane of follicular cells
NIS (na/I symporter)
organification
thyroglobulin iodination –> MIT and DIT
catalyzes t4 –> T3
iodothyronine 5’ deiodinase
Deiodinase that is expressed in liver and kidneys, coverts serum T4
Type I
Deiodinase expressed in pituitary gland, brain, and brown fat converts T4 locally
Type II
Converts T4 - rT3
Type III Deiodinase
Two types of thyroid hormone receptors
alpha and beta
TR react with this to form heterodimers
retinoid X receptor RXR
TSH producing cells
thyrotropes
thryoid stimulating immunoglobulin
IgG autoantibody specific for TSH receptor
L-isomer of T4
levothyroxine
how does increase of hepatic p450 effect thyroid hormone?
it increases excretion
Perchlorate, thiocyanate, pertechnetate are what class of drugs
Inhibitors of iodide uptake – compete for iodide uptake into thyroid gland follicular cell
What radioactive Iodine is used as radiative treatment of hyperthyroidism?
131 I-
What is the Wolff-Chaikoff effect?
high levels of iodide inhibit thyroid hormone synthesis and release
