| Popis: | The influence of cold exposure on triiodothyronine (T3) kinetics was studied in 16 men before, during (biweekly), and after 80 (10/wk) cold (4 degrees C) air exposures. We used serum values before and up to 24 h after a pharmacological oral (o) dose of T3 [76.8 nmol (50 micrograms)] to calculate noncompartmental kinetic parameters. To assess the role of thyroxine (T4) and thyrotropin (TSH), we administered a replacement dose of T3 [46.0 nmol/day (30 micrograms)] to eight men (+T3 group) and placebo to eight others (-T3 group) for the 2-mo study. There was no group effect of T3 treatment (+T3) on oral total volume of distribution (TVdo), metabolic clearance rate (MCRo), or disposal rate (DRo). TVdo was not changed over the study. Cold increased MCRo by 5.4 +/- 2.0 l.day-1.m-2. DRo increased with cold by 10.2 +/- 4.4 nmol.day-1.m-2. Although serum TSH, total T4, and free T4 decreased by approximately 50% in the +T3 group, the changes in MCRo and DRo with cold were not different from those in -T3. We describe that human T3 kinetics are changed with brief repeated exposures to cold air and that these increases in MCRo and DRo do not appear to be dependent on TSH or T4. |
