- W2065379855 abstract "It is well established that TSH from the anterior pituitary is the principal stimulatory agent in the physiological regulation of the thyroid gland. Chronic elevations of plasma TSH induce hyperplasia and hypertrophy of thyroid follicular cells and enlargement of blood capillaries. At low plasma TSH levels the thyroid gland atrophies. We have examined the vascular conductance (C = blood flow/mean arterial pressure) of the thyroid gland and several other tissues over a wide range of endogenous plasma TSH concentrations and after treatment with bovine TSH (bTSH) in rats. Tissue blood flows were determined using 15 +/- 5-microns diameter 141Ce-labeled microspheres in a modification of the reference sample microsphere technique. The microspheres were injected directly into the left cardiac ventricle via a 23-gauge needle passed through the chest wall, while the reference blood sample was collected and systemic arterial blood pressure was monitored through femoral arterial catheters. After the animals were killed, tissues were cleaned and weighed, and the tissue radioactivity was determined. Blood samples for determination of plasma hormone levels were obtained from the jugular vein before the injection of microspheres. In the first series of experiments, the vascular C per mass of thyroid gland was significantly decreased 4 and 8 days after hypophysectomy. Treatment of hypophysectomized rats with bTSH (185 mU/100 g.day as a continuous iv infusion for 2 or 6 days) restored thyroid vascular C per mass of tissue to control levels. In the second series of experiments, we manipulated circulating plasma TSH levels in intact rats by 6 days of treatment with propylthiouracil (2.0 mg/day, ip), thyroid hormones (1.5 micrograms T4, 0.4 micrograms T3 or 3.0 micrograms T4, plus 0.8 micrograms T3/100 g.day, sc by continuous infusion), TRH (240 micrograms/day, iv, by continuous infusion), bTSH (800 mU/day, iv, by continuous infusion), or combinations of these treatments. The vascular C per mass of thyroid gland was significantly decreased at very low chronic plasma TSH levels and increased at very high chronic plasma TSH levels. Thyroid vascular C per mass was unchanged, however, over a broad intermediate range of plasma TSH concentrations encompassing normal values, despite alterations in the size and function of the thyroid gland. At these intermediate levels of TSH stimulation, the thyroid gland may respond by adding or subtracting functional units without changing the blood flow per unit. The amount of blood flow per functional unit may be altered only at very high or very low levels of TSH stimulation." @default.
