Graves' disease is a type of autoimmune hyperthyroidism caused by thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb). The combination of a porcine thyroid cell bioassay and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) immunoassay (TSAb-enzyme immunoassay; EIA) is a clinically approved TSAb measurement method. Due to the requirement of multiple procedures and a long assay time of 6 h in the TSAb-EIA, a simplified and rapid assay is desired.

However, the potential mechanism of the association remains uncertain. The objective of this study was to determine the potential role of TSH in the suppression of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) expression and IRS-1 tyrosyl phosphorylation, which might contribute to insulin resistance.

The transport of chloride and bicarbonate across epithelia controls the pH and volume of the intracellular and luminal fluids, as well as the systemic pH and vascular volume. The anion exchanger pendrin (SLC26A4) and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel are expressed in the apical membrane of epithelial cells of various organs and tissues, including the airways, kidney, thyroid, and inner ear. While pendrin drives chloride reabsorption and bicarbonate, thiocyanate or iodide secretion within the apical compartment, CFTR represents a pathway for the apical efflux of chloride, bicarbonate, and possibly iodide.

Carney complex (CΝC) is a very rare, autosomal dominant, hereditary syndrome. Seventy percent of individuals with CNC have germline inactivating or deleting mutations of the gene [currently known as protein kinase cAMP-dependent type I regulatory subunit α (), located at the 17q22-24 chromosome level], with 30% of cases presenting with phosphodiesterase gene mutations. A member of the lentiginosis family, dermatological features include: skin pigmentation, cutaneous/mucosal myxomas, usually diagnosed by the age of 20 years (neonatal presentation is exceptional, requiring a meticulous differential diagnosis).
