Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis responds to thyroid hormones in pregnant women, specifically focusing on the relationship between central sensitivity to these hormones (measured by the Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index or TFQI) and urinary iodine (UI) levels.
- A total of 1,102 blood and urine samples were collected from healthy pregnant women, assessing levels of TSH, fT4, anti-thyroid antibodies, and UI across different trimesters and postpartum.
- Results showed a negative correlation between TFQI and UI levels, indicating higher central sensitivity to thyroid hormones when UI is lower; interestingly, this relationship varied depending on the trimester and them
Purpose: Prostate cancer patients are a heterogeneous group as regards the aggressiveness of the disease. The relationship of steroid hormones with the aggressiveness of prostate cancer is unclear. It is known that the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) inhibits prostate cancer cell lines in vitro.
