Thymus inflammation induced in infantile guinea pigs and rabbits by administration of melted paraffin drops into the thymic parenchyma resulted in enhancement of the thyroid functional activity. Thymosin injections provoked an identical effect. In both variants of these experiments the pituitary thyrotropin level remained within the norm. Hence, the pituitary thyrotropic function as in thyrotoxicosis lost the ability of response to enhancement of the thyroid hormone production. This result suggests that the cause of disorganization of the negative feedback between the thyroid and the pituitary thyrotropic function might be attributed to enforcement of the stimulated thymus secretory activity.

Mammalian genomes contain thousands of genes for long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs), some of which have been shown to affect protein coding gene expression through diverse mechanisms. The lncRNA transcripts are longer than 200 nucleotides and are often capped, spliced, and polyadenylated, but not translated into protein. Nuclear lncRNAs can modify chromatin structure and transcription in trans or cis by interacting with the DNA, forming R-loops, and recruiting regulatory proteins.

Purpose: Hypothalamic-pituitary thyrotropic activity (HPta) is crucial since TSH is the mainstay for evaluating primary hypothyroidism (hT) and replacement therapy in clinical practice. Despite TSH values, some patients experience symptoms and metabolic alterations, raising several issues about hT. The aim of the study was to investigate factors influencing the TSH values achieved after a period of hT induced in a standardized and controlled manner (TSH_time1).

Metformin inhibits enhanced secretion of anterior pituitary hormones. Its impact on prolactin and gonadotropin concentrations is absent in individuals with hypovitaminosis D. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate whether vitamin D status determines the effect of metformin on hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis activity in levothyroxine-naïve women.
