Successful pregnancy outcomes are improved when hypothyroidism is treated. [129] Levothyroxine treatment may be considered at lower TSH levels in pregnancy than in standard treatment. [15] Liothyronine does not cross the fetal blood-brain barrier, so liothyronine (T 3) only or liothyronine + levothyroxine (T 3 + T 4) therapy is not indicated in ...
In 1971, the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) radioimmunoassay was developed, which was the most specific marker for assessing thyroid status in patients. [82] Many people who were being treated based on basal metabolic rate, minimizing hypothyroid symptoms, or based on serum protein-bound iodine, were found to have excessive thyroid hormone. [82]
The major form of thyroid hormone in the blood is thyroxine (T 4), whose half-life of around one week [4] is longer than that of T 3. [5] In humans, the ratio of T 4 to T 3 released into the blood is approximately 14:1. [ 6 ]
Production of T 3 and its prohormone thyroxine (T 4) is activated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released from the anterior pituitary gland. This pathway is part of a closed-loop feedback process: Elevated concentrations of T 3 , and T 4 in the blood plasma inhibit the production of TSH in the anterior pituitary gland.
