In porcine thyrocytes, TSH alone does not induce cell growth. Recently, it has been demonstrated that acute stimulation by TSH of porcine thyrocytes leads to release an inositolphosphate glycan (IPG) described as a putative second messenger for various growth factors in different cell types. IPG isolated from porcine thyrocytes induces proliferation of fibroblasts EGFR T17 and porcine thyrocytes. In porcine thyrocytes we have confirmed that cell growth requires the presence of both TSH and insulin. This effect is reproduced by 8-bromo cyclic AMP suggesting a mediation by intracellular cyclic AMP. Cooperative effects between 8-bromo cyclic AMP and IPG have also been evidenced and are in favour of a crosstalk between distinct signalling pathways.

17β-Estradiol Stimulates Oxidative Stress Components and Thyroid Specific Genes in Porcine Thyroid Follicular Cells: Potential Differences Between Sexes.

17β-estradiol plays a crucial role in regulating cellular processes in both reproductive and non-reproductive tissues, including the thyroid gland. It modulates oxidative stress and contributes to sexual dimorphism in thyroid diseases, with ROS production, particularly HO, generated by NOX/DUOX enzymes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 17β-estradiol (10 nM or 100 nM) on the expression of NOX/DUOX, thyroid-specific genes, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related genes in male and female porcine thyroid follicular cells.

Thyroid epithelial cells organize as enclosed follicles containing thyroid hormone precursor, iodinated thyroglobulin, with lumina bordered by the cellular apices. Transepithelial transport determines composition of compartmental milieu essential for both prohormone formation and its downstream conversion to thyroxine. Hence, not only do follicular lumina function as storage vessels but also as physiological reaction chambers into which reactive components, together with the proper salts and water, are secreted.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpes virus that latently infects B lymphocytes. When EBV is reactivated, host B cells differentiate into plasma cells and produce IgM-dominant antibodies as well as many progeny virions. The aims of the present study were to confirm the IgM dominance of thyrotropin-receptor antibodies (TRAbs) produced by EBV reactivation and investigate the roles of TRAb-IgM in Graves' disease.

The number, morphology, and distribution of C thyrocytes within the thyroid gland vary among species; however, studies in domestic animals are limited. In this study we compared the morphology, distribution pattern, and percentage of C thyrocytes in four domestic species: dogs, pigs, horses, and cattle. Eighty thyroid glands, 20 per species, were examined.

This study was conducted to evaluate the optimum inclusion levels of Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal on growth, haematology, and physiological performance of pigs. A total of 16 grower pigs comprising of 12 females and 4 castrated males weighing an average of 13.5 kg were assigned into a completely randomized experimental layout, subjected to 4 inclusion levels of leaf meal (0, 50, 100, and 150 g/kg DM).
