[Comparative analysis in assessing the thyroliberin test in thyroid function disorders].

The thyroliberine test was performed in 128 subjects with euthyroidism, thyrotoxicosis and initial hypothyrosis, using a "Hoechst" (FRG) drug in a dose of 200 micrograms, injected intravenously before and 30 minutes after thyroliberine administration, followed by radioimmunoassay of thyreotropic hormone. The test results were evaluated according to the difference and ratio of stimulated basal thyrotropin levels. Distribution of random errors of these findings was studied.

[Prolactin level in thyroid diseases and its reaction to thyroliberin].

Prolactin content was determined before and after thyroliberin (TRH) injection in 15 healthy subjects and 136 patients. Basal levels of prolactin were increased in initial hypothyrosis, decreased in nodular euthyroid goitre, thyroid cancer and close to normal in thyrotoxicosis. TRH assay is more informative than the study of prolactin basal level.
